Looking at the number of posts here I might that this niche is pretty crowded. So, I'm not start yet another arcade site....
The arcade niche can do quite a bit of wonders for you. As long as you're playing the game right, you should do just fine. It does require a bit of thinking on your part but if you can do this, I guarantee a success with arcade websites. I would categorize myself with one or two arcades that I work on to maximize the results. If you happen to want to join an arcade banner exchange that exchanges clicks, then visit ArcadeBonus.com. It's ran by myself and is growing rapidly. You should take a look for yourself if you haven't done so already.
I have a site that gets 10k + UV a day.....I don't know if that is considered to be a large arcade or not but I also have a few more that get 2k+ a day. All combined I make enough to pay my mortgage, bills and buy food. I started out not planning to make any money at all.....But now that I know how.......well I can't quit now
Mates, how long did it take you to get to that level of popularity to get 1k/10k's of uniques per day.
I have my own server which I would be able to host you on if you are interested. Just contact me and we can set it up.
Yeah, but you'll get more and more problems once your site gets quite a lot of traffic. Thanks for the offer mate. Is it dedicated server?
Hey im also inside arcade niche, i have 2 arcade sites and 1 game dmp site, also i have pr 3 only games driectory www.kan2.org i hope you like it. Until now i didnt earn anythign special with arcade.
You can actually earn money from arcade games using: 1. Upload the game at Ziddu and market it. 2. Use Clicksor to earn more. 3. Create some videos promoting the game and upload it on Veoh.com or Metacafe,
If it's a SWF file, it would make sense for the owner to do it, as they'll likely want their game to be spread around
Im starting to make a bit of $$$ of my online games sites..Going up each week Also If anyone wants to swap links with my arcade site you can use my form here Links Exchange It's a PR3 site - GamesPond.net
