Good luck to you!

I put three inline ads within the game list now. Also, robmac how long does it take for MaxBounty to ok your site?

I agree, your site is very slow loading. Try increasing speed.. could give mod_gzip a try if you are having bandwidth problems.

If you want me to get more European and American visitors...why are we talking about Chinese people?

By the way, I finally got Oked for MaxBounty and am looking through their programs.

Try different ad colors to see if this has effect on CTR. Also you can try using affiliate banners to see if this increases your imcome at all.

Are you kidding me? You pay $30

For $10/ month you can find the best hosting company ever. You should try Hostgator.

I have a VPS, not a shared hosting plan, that's why it's more expensive. It's basically like owning a fake computer. Anyways, I earned over $1.70 yesterday!!! And the site is going to be going through a major make over.

You should sell something or provide service.

I'm trying to sell membership allowing people to put the games on their own websites, $10 one time fee.

I have a similar game site that is bringing in over $100/mo. in adsense. Just keep building traffic, place the ads in the right spot and you should be fine.

How many uniques do you get a week?

gridsix · 03-27-2008, 11:19 AM

Around 6,000 uniques per month...

You're only getting like 2000 more than me and your getting that much in ad revenue? How many visits per person?

gridsix · 03-27-2008, 11:29 AM

Lots... registered users are notified of new games via email...

Hmmmm...that's really not a bad idea...maybe I should notify members of new games. We have 200+ members, so that might bring in some more return traffic.

Make sure to put recruiting payments. Many people forget that someone charge them $5 -$10 every month for some service they never use.

I know it sound mean, but it is business and you can take it if someone doesn't care about money and never check bank statements.

My target audience wouldn't really go for recurring payments...most of them are teenagers that don't like spending money at all. That's why its a one time fee.

So, offer people double option from the same page and you will find that some of them will go for monthly payments.
