Get your arcade Site reviewed

AndrewE · 05-12-2008, 03:02 PM

I launched a new Review My Arcade feature as part of Finger Monkey blog recently and it's proving to be quite popular. I've already had 3 review requests.

The idea is simple: if you're the owner of a new or existing arcade and you want some constructive, no-nonsense feedback on what's working and what's not, you can sign up for a free review. I do a 4-5 min video cast outlining the pros and cons of your site as I see them.

The reviews are free, the only thing I ask in return is a link back to my new WordPress arcade, Craverz.com. Link love for some review love.

By reviewing other people's sites, I'm learning quite a bit about the common pitfalls that arcade webmasters face. It's actually more interesting than I thought it would be.

So if you're interested check it out.

Cool idea, nice to see how someone else looks at arcades.

Thanks!

Nice, I like your commentary. Submitted one of my sites. I already know the biggest con. Way too many ads haha.

Reviewed your site Fahd, it's up on my blog right now!

Fahd · 05-13-2008, 03:48 PM

Thanks Andrew, very valuable feedback. And yes, you said my name right!

Just a quick update. Reviews are now powered by Vimeo. You can check out the FingerMonkey review channel here: www.vimeo.com/fingermonkey

I've had 10 review requests so far and have completed 8. Feel free to submit your sites, link's in the signature...

This is a usability test review by FingerMonkey of allarcade.us. The site was submitted by Alex and was given a relaunch back in November 2008. Check it out.

Can I borrow your time machine?

On a more serious note, I am interested in a review for an additional site which addresses the issues on OFG but I can't link back from that site. Would a link back from a different arcade site be sufficient?

Thank you very much for the review you bring up some good points that I have overlooked. Also I agree completely with your point about the value of registering for members.

Give me the details and I'll do the review. Probably get round to it this weekend. Post a request on the fingermonkey blog.
