Nicholas Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hello, I'm looking for someone who is good with marketing and finding players who will join and stay on a game for long period of time. -- obviously the game has to look good and be good, which mine should be with all the regular updates i do and layout design I have :p I'm not sure about prices right now as I don't know how much people charge for their services, but if you know any good places or even being an advertiser yourself. Please could you post on here how much you offer for advertising services or how much they offer to set up advertising + URL link to them; I would be very grateful. http://www.criminals-nightmare.com/login.php If you need more information about what I'm after or going on about please post or email me on here. Thanks, Nicholas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnenb Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hey, Just a very simple tip that actually will help you a lot: It took me way too long to find your register page. You want new players? Make it as easy as f*cking possible to register. Don't ask for more than a username and an email, and do the rest of the registration from a link you send in an email. I'll introduce a term for you: conversion rate. Do you know how many of say 1,000 visitors on your site actually go ahead and registers? Track how visitors behave on your site (google analytics will do the job) and see how many of you new visitors actually register. Play around with the layout on your front page to see which ones gets more registrations. The more registrations the higher your conversion rate.. :) Keeping the players in your game is a whole other topic you can focus on when you have a better conversion rate.

modernmafiia Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 -APPS -Quick register like user, pass, confirm pass then once logged in you can have them add a email and gender before they can play.. -ADMOBS - advertise the app -Adwords, trailers... -Facebook signup I have used all these before for my games within weeks it was doing great, daily around 50-100 signups..sometime more.. You can contact me for a android app..i can share more marketing skills.. App is the best way, well for me but it could work for you too, with the right content and details/key words it could be high ranked on the search gaining your app more viability meaning more downloads and installs/ users. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was easy to find it tbh? i'll also think about that idea with doing random number/letter password generated via Mail. I don't quite get what you mean by 'play around with the layout on the front page (login)' ------------------------------------ EDIT: I've changed and installed the new register page + setup (inside game). works fine and i think its better tbh.. thanks for the idea. ------------------------------------ Edited August 15, 2012 by Nicholas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnenb Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 You should put the registration-form on your frontpage, and don't ask for much more than a username+email. What I mean by "playing around with your front page" is that you need to test what works best. One version of your font page might have a conversion rate of 2% (two out of every 100 visitors register), and another one might have 0.5% - which of those two different versions do you want to keep? In order to know this information you need to set up tracking. Do this before doing any advertising at all. There's no point spending money on advertising if you don't know whether it works or not.

Frosty Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 $150/m for a banner on multiple sites receiving around 600,000 page views a month (~25k unique visitors) Only statistics i can offer you is how many people actually click on the advert as when they click on the advert it takes them to my page which instantly redirects to your page, Mainly US/UK/English speaking countries, this isn't one of those traffic boost services.
