Arcade websites are popular. A lot of people I know are playing on these kind of game sites. There are a lot arcade websites on the web, and it is hard to stand out from the crowd. I have 1 arcade site in my network. My website is Arcade Bubble, a simple arcade site with a total of 500 games. Traffic is really going up lately. In March the visitors already passed the 4,000.
When I bought the site from a DP member, it had 3 registered users and the total number of played games was at 1,500. At this moment I have 15 registered users and over 11,000 games played. That means people played almost 10,000 games 1 month.
Earnings from this site are not great. The clicks are quite low, like 0,03 per click. Sometimes it has good days and receives 0,15 clicks. Optimization could be a lot better. I didn’t move the google ads since I bought it. If I made a google ad just under the recently played games, I am sure the CTR would go up. But I don’t want my users to go away and play somewhere else. I used Admedian (CPM program) as a pop under. But it was not working for me.
The site is also receiving some search engine traffic, which is nice. It got 16 visitors from the term “arcade bubble”, and the term “sonic blox” is good for 7 visitors so far (in March). These are small numbers, but it is a good thing that the site is receiving at least some traffic from the search engines

Enter the CPM and PPA, Nomar.
Put rightmedia Ads, that pays for CPM, and put some affiliate products or AuctionAds.
That way, with time passing, you’ll make more money. Only adsense is “slow death” on a site like that.

Ah one more thing, in that site at the “VOTE FOR US”, allways have that images in your server. That way you avoid the NO IMAGE X

Sounds like the site is growing nicely. I’m sure you’ll be more revenue off of it, just give it time.

Holy crap! Nice lil increase…the revenues will follow.

What does it cost you to run the site each month?

You’ll find mate that it takes time to grow. My arcade is beginning to show signs of daily revenue and not that bad either. It takes time, but it’s a snowball effect. Arcades are a snow ball effect. You remember my site, I started it from scratch. But, it is growing and it has a lot of chances to get large. Good luck!

Yeah, I know it takes time unfortunately
Steve, It doesn’t cost me anything to run. I can add as much sites to my account as I want
You know that.
