Wow...
Well, the site is most definitely closer to being finished than it was a few nights ago. I figure I have around 3 hours or so of coding to do before it's 100% ready for the time being. Obviously I'll be adding things here and there as I need to, and as I think of things. There are a few graphics that have to added to the site, but they'll be put up when I have them sent to me.
As most people can see, there aren't very many banner ads. However, I have people emailing me requesting ad space, so when I receive the banners, they will be added. On the index.html page, I have 7 slots remaining for non-game advertising. These spots are selling for $150 USD/month and they're going fairly quick. If you'd like to place an ad there, please make sure it's not derogatory or demeaning in any manner. If it is, it won't be added.
Many people have emailed me back asking what the current traffic is for the site. I decided that instead of emailing you all back, I'd just post my figures here. According to the site traffic tools, the site has currently received just under 7,000 hits within the last 7 days. In my opinion, that's fairly good considering the site hasn't even been officially opened yet, and the search sites such as google haven't placed my domain into the search engine yet. I can only assume that the hits will continue to increase at a fairly steady pace over the next 2 months, so please bear with me.
The voting module is currently working, so you may start voting for any of the games that have been submitted to the game database(only games that have details). At the end of every month, the site that has the most votes will be allowed to put a banner in the ad space of their choice(excluding the index.html ad space) for the month following the month they won for free. So, if you get your members to work hard and visit the site daily, you could score yourself some free advertising for the month. |
