Where should I ask my question?
« on: October 24, 2011, 07:34:21 PM »
I want to ask game owners for their opinions on how to improve my top list, and what would make game owners more willing to add their game to my list.

Problem is, I don't know where to post it, as most of the boards are for game development, not top list development. I just feel that the game owners' opinions are the most important and something I really need to consider when developing my site.

So where should I post this question?
Thanks for your time!

You mean this forum? Perhaps BBGameZone.net > Advertise > Projects

However it's not like you'd be frown at if you choose a less perfect category, just ask away

I would post in one of these:
Revenue & Promotion
Projects
Advertisement

Anyway, as Nox said, there is no moderators mafia on this forum, we have a rather relaxed mood here :)

Traffic. Figure out how to drive more traffic, for every other benefit of a toplist site is worthless to game developers except traffic. If the list can't improve a game's traffic then there is absolutely no reason for registering with a list.

I know it's a harsh answer since traffic isn't easy, but honestly that's the only reason topsites exist and the only reason developers use them. If you can't figure out how to grow and drive traffic, then you shouldn't have a topsite.

Brand/Title awareness?

Yea, like everyone got it right the first time...

Thanks everyone.
Glad to know this isn't another board full of power tripping nazi mods lol..

I can certainly improve traffic, and I have been doing quite well at it.
After only barely 2 months being online the site is around 200 visits per day and rising. I think that's pretty legit for the short period of time ivehad so far :)
I plan on putting some money into advertising soon as well, then the traffic will really kick off.
