I have also seen the trend of badly designed sites with high traffic and well designed sites with low traffic. The key to a successful arcade is most importantly the domain name. If you can get one with a popular keyword it will help a lot. Then after that you have to strike a balance between having lots of banners and games plugs for traffic or an arcade that isn't cluttered and is well designed. In my opinion sites that have the balance are ones like http://dailyfreegames.com/ and http://twizl.com . They don't obviously overwhelm the user with traffic banners and they are well designed sites.

EDIT: I have to agree with Arcadejunky, its the new raw traffic that pays the bills. It depends on your goal for the site really.
