How many games? - Page 2

If you are running a link exchange type arcade
you probably only need about 10 total games to succeed.

One page of games is all some use.

More games isn't so important.

Hitsfree, you always seem to be negative in your posts?

It also depends on how you advertise an arcade i.e paid, organic etc etc. Personally I just let my arcade run itself a lot of the time as I have many other jobs and things to do.

Do you have an arcade site hitsfree as I have never seen you mention one previously.

Otherwise, give 'em something fun and quick right away and move on.

Hey,

I would have to agree with you there. Unfortunately in my case due to lack of time and an arcade which is not heaps old I have a lot of bad games which I am starting to refine.

Whats the point of supplying games which are no fun, boring and silly it will just deter potential visitors from coming back.

In my testing the quantity of games isn't necessarily beneficial to a site in regards to search engines. I think google pays more attention to the way you update your site.... like gradually adding games rather than dumping a ton of games on it.

I have to agree with you there also which is why I like Onarcades Gameslave as I can upload all of the games at once and they will only get put on the site and released at the rate I set i.e 3-5 games per day.
