I’ve been quite busy lately on work related stuff so I haven’t had too much time (or motivation!) to work on my own sites. I did get a bit of work done on Bored Flash Games though.

My aim with this site is to get as much traffic as I can without spending a penny, partly because I want the challenge and partly because I need to keep all the money I can for my holiday (in 2 months woohoo!).

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

- Banner exchanges. It’s really hard to tell which banner exchanges are any good and which aren’t. After a bit of trial and error, I think I’ve found three that I’m reasonably happy with, they are; MoreGamers(aff), FunKlicks and FunnieLinks. At the monent I haven’t added my banners to the rotation, I’m simply saving up credits for when the site is ready to start making me some money.

- Link-Vault. I’ve been looking at a few different link exchanges and at the minute I prefer Link Vault(aff). It’s free to join and use, all you have to do is display some links on the bottom of your page.

- TNX. TNX(aff) is another link exchange, however this one lets you buy and sell links. Like the banner exchanges, I’m just saving up credits for now until the site is ready to start making money.

When the site does start making money I’ll be putting it al back into promoting the site so I will also be going through paid advertising.

Next step for me is to put some more work into picking the right keywords and deciding which ad networks will be best to use on the website.

Oh, and I almost forgot, traffic is up to around 75 uniques today.
