Hi

I have got a site that has lots of traffic coming about online games, thinking i will turn it into an online games site.
would anyone give me more information on it?

I am earing 100 euro a month on it from parking, will i earn more making it a website?

thanks

You'll always earn more from a properly developed site than from parking, but then you have the associated development cost. Commission rates are much higher on affiliate programmes than for parking.

Thanks accelerator, I know you always earn more with a website, but i have no idea of scrip writing and being a webmaster....

I have been searching the internet and found lots of site owners use script writers for them a script package, script lincence and 1000+ games. Bit confuse here, do i have to sign up with one of them or can i diy with dreamweaver? and whatis with the script lince and games copyrights??

seem very confusing maybe i should turn it into a mini site and juct put adsense on it :(

Is your domain name most suitable for an online games sites where people can get free games to play, or is it more suitable for a computer games review site?

Either way, I suggest you ask over at:

http://www.affiliates4u.com/

as in particular they might have some ready to go online games sites via affiliate programmes.

You'll need to think about how you're going to extract money from people to play your games once you have them developed. If you have a good idea, then give it a bash, if not, I'd just give the site a tweak every now and then to put some fresh affiliates on the site and keep the revenue stream :)
 
There are plenty of scripts for gaming sites, trouble is they all then look the same but its not that hard to do.

I had a domain with games on it and the traffic was climbing well but it got to the point of costing too much for hosting/bandwidth than what I made from it in ads. If its a parked page, then there are no games to play so people click on your links to see whats there.

Once you develop it your residual traffic will be much better, but IMO, your click rate and revenue goes down as people find games to play without clicking on ads.

I can help you with some script ideas if you want top PM me but I took all mine down and just park them.
 
the clicks i am getting are interest from free online gaming site, Now like what admin said i am worried thant it will cost me more if i develop it fully, because people will start playing games and not clicking adsense or affiliate.

But i found out simply parking won't do for the long run, so i am kind of thinking since i only have a tiny bit of traffic 10,000 a month and slowing down.

I should develop a mini site with adsense for different catergory of games, what are the opions should i go ahead or gamble on a fully develop website?

thanks all for the advises.

If you have traffic for any term involving "free", then it's always going to be difficult to sell things, so like admin said, maybe think about ways you can capitalise on your traffic rather than offering a full service site. You've pulled people in, so now you just need to get them to click on something and move on. That will probably work out better for you than a full game site. When I said developed websites earn more, it depends on the area, and certainly computer games sales are worth looking at, less so free online gaming.

Good luck

Thanks
I understand what you guys are getting at now, so decided not to go for a fully develop site, since the arcade market is too much already.
What i want to know is Admin why did you pull down the sites and left it parking, wouldn't it make more sense to have content and adsense, keeping the site alive?

my keywords is games earning avg 0.04 euros, i found out if i change it no one will click...

Takwa
 
thanks admin,

i will try it, will show you guys when it's done cheers

one more questions

Any advise for hosting pakage/comapnies for it? because i am guessing it will need unlimited bandwidth. and it cost lots :(
 
thanks checked it out, but does this pakage support multiple domains, because i have a few others than is on GoDaddy's free hosting, and you get the crappy godaddy ad on top.

I want to put them all in one roof, what host you you use?

Do i have to choose the reseller pakage?

Takwa
 
or you could buy a online game

You could buy a online game that can make you money from adsens or banner ads and buy theplayers buying credits to play or buy more credits.

pm me if you want to see a site like what i am talking about
 
Takwa,

Check out agares medias gamescript , they've updated it (still some bugs) have a look at my sig for a sample.
