Advice wanted for marketing this idea

[pacman100]

Hi all,

I'm a software developer working as a sort of freelance programmer developing business apps. Lately I've found my passion which is game programming, however it can take a long time as well as be expensive to develop a strong game. It can be even harder to market it such that people pay for it.

So I was thinking of another idea. I.e, I would develop a few smaller games, as java applets so they can be run in the browser. I'll put them on a website, and let users play them for free, while running google adsense/other ads on the side.

Since i love making games and have countless ideas, i can continue to add to the site. The end result will be a site with many games that are unique, never seen before, and are free to play.

What are your thoughts? Any ideas for helping market this, or any advice for me?
