Please Review: No Ad Arcade

gopher292 · 07-30-2007, 04:05 PM

I've had this idea for a while and thought I had better register the domain name and do something with it before somebody else did:

No Ad Arcade: Free online flash games with NO ADS!

I'm planning on mostly promoting it with social networking (digg, stumbleupon...) so if you have a stumbleupon account, please thumb it.

I just finished setting it up, thanks ahead of time for the review!

Dude where's the games i think I see 4 or was it 3? Nice concept though I guess you mentioned you just finished setting it up so prolly in the midst of upping the content well good luck!!

Well I see the 3 games rotate.

BUT...no ads, but you call them donations?

So I can "donate" and have a link to my site..I dont know, sound slike "ad" to me.
Just my 2 cents...does that qulify me for a link?

One thing you should consider is that with no ads, your templates and layout could look a lot better than the other arcades. But your template and layout doesn't look so good right now.

Thanks lots for the reviews.

SpankyBear: I'm working on adding more games, I custom-coded a simple script, so there aren't any gamepacks I can get. I have 14 games right now.

RickyG:

I was thinking either donations for monetization, or just put nothing on it to get money and then sell it to somebody like arcadetown or miniclip. (Then they can make it be, for example, "No Ad Arcade -- presented by ArcadeTown" and suck traffic off of it to their main site.)

evilfurby: It's probably not the best design. If you know somebody good who would be willing to redesign it for a sponsor link...

Thanks again everybody!

I recommend getting av arcade or something, and using a script that looks nice. Dark colors are usually not liked by web users. Also no one will ever purchase a "no ad" arcade due to the fact that they will be spending money for hosting, and yet get nothing back in return. I recommend you spend your time creating an arcade that will give you some sort of compensation for your time. Arcades don't make much money, and even PR5 arcade sites with ads that bring in money are usually only worth a few hundred dollars if you sell them.
