Hey, anyone here converting game traffic to gaming revenue? - GoFuckYourself.com

DomBuyer · 09-14-2005, 05:59 AM

I just picked up a pc gaming name that's getting 600-1000 type-ins a day, and while the PPC is running around $15 a day, I wondered if the sexperts here at GFY could advise me on whether this kind of traffic can be converted to poker affiliate revenue.

Seems to me that if just a couple sign up for poker, my revenue skyrockets.

I don't normally chase pc gaming traffic, so I'm a little out in the woods on this baby.

Like is anyone here doing a poker blog that converts that they could template for me?

Any help or suggestions appreciated.

By the way, if someone's open to buying or leasing this traffic from me, I'm all ears.

spacemonk · 09-14-2005, 06:04 AM

I have one of my previously very poorly performing adult typeins pointed to a poker program and it makes a few signups here and there.. more than it did with adult stuff

on the other hand, a good number of those 600-1k typeins looking for pc games could be underage so you might be better off with ppc

just how I see it

cranki · 09-14-2005, 06:04 AM

holy smokes, 600-1000 type-ins! would you mind telling us that name?

Throw a webcam frontend on it for a week and compare. Can't fathom you making less than $15 per day.

Will get you something like that together for free for any domain names you want to put it on if you sign up in our downlines. This goes for anyone with decent traffic type-ins.

DomBuyer · 09-14-2005, 06:11 AM

Yea, don't want to put adult in there, as it's not appropriate for the traffic.

Do a mainstream cam or dating one. $15 a day on that amount of traffic is horrible.

I know, that's why I'm here.

Which cam program does the best? Thanks.

Put a forum on it for that game, turn those type ins into bookmarkers.

Nice and targeted, could build up fast with that many players checking it...then run adsense on the pages internally..etc

I know a guy with 10's of thousands of bookmarked gaming traffic...he runs gaming forum and such.

Well, for PPS I have better luck with clickcash and for revshare cams.com. Not sure what setup you have on the main page but if you use an advertising partner that will let you customize your own site you can just make the cams an add on. For instance, keep your relevant links but add 5 or 6 thumbnails above or below it that link to a profile type page and a text link for "More Webcam Girls" if you want a full backend. We've had great luck with this in the past.

Hmm, that sounds interesting. Can you hook me up with your friend? Thanks for your help either way.

Another good idea. Dombuyer I might be interested in helping hook up the forum / cam backend for just a referral to the sponsor(s). If you are interested drop me an email and I'll see if we have time to squeeze it in. You could keep ppc links going and add another revenue stream or two this way.

Sounds good.

warlock5 · 09-14-2005, 06:57 AM

Care to share the name of the domain?

I'm working on a program for general gaming traffic, but it has quite a ways to go. Once I can pull a good conversion rate with it, I'll drop you an e-mail; but it might be next year.

Different segments of the gaming market pay a lot more than others. For example, anything related to MMORPGs (like world of warcraft, everquest) pays very well because of all the people selling gold and leveled characters.

I run a general computer gaming site that gets quite a bit of SE traffic but I barely make $1 CPM on it (I have other sitesthat easily do $100+ CPM)

DomBuyer · 09-14-2005, 07:02 AM

Yea, prefer not to post the name yet for strategic reasons.

Rupert Murdoch's big spending spree on gaming sites has made it a heated arena.

DomBuyer · 09-14-2005, 07:04 AM

Here's a link to the spending spree:

Oh I know, I'm subscribed to a "News Corp" Google News RSS feed ;)

warlock5 · 09-14-2005, 10:09 AM

Is it possible that the domain could be used for hosting free web-based games? I know one or two guys who bring in quite a bit of revenue for those types of sites.

HorseShit · 09-14-2005, 10:26 AM

is it heat.net

Really not a bad idea ... 600-1000 typeins a day could build a good forum for sure

I have no clue, all his domains (www.official.com , etc.) are still in the very famous STEALTHMODE = nothing happend with them, although he claimend to start all these domains on the 05.05.05.

And what's going on with his world-overtaking blog-empire? Probably nothing? No offense here, but in my eyes it seems like he's good in buying/selling/keeping domains, but all the tattle about "building up a domain" is just hot air. But I might be wrong...
