What to do with 1200+ uniques

WebErika · #1 (**permalink**) 11-12-2004, 03:30 AM

Because of the recent Halo2 launch, I find myself with sites getting a combined 1200+ uniques a day, 2 sites are a PR3, one a PR2.

What can I do with this traffic?

Gamers are a fickle bunch, and the hot keywords are mostly about cheats ... but these guys also have disposable income of some sort.

So I'm wondering if anyone here has any suggestions?

I have had some Amazon sales as I do of course have a link to Halo merchandise on the sites ... but I was wondering if anyone had a better idea?

Many thanks in advance :)

What about promoting Gaming Magazines or setting up a cobrand store focused on mags that would appeal to these people?

Such as

or

http://www.allzines.com/product_info...ts_id=705&ref=

Now that's a pretty good idea. I hadn't thought of that at all.

I have links to gplay on the sites, but have not converted a SINGLE sale there ...

Are these decent affiliate programs you think? these two magazine sources? Does anyone have a favorite?

Thanks again for the idea!

I must admit I'm totally biased as I have an involvement in managing both, but...

NetMags has a higher conversion , has discounts and lower prices and lower commission : Starts 30%

AllZines has lower conversion, no discounts, quarterly payments allowed, higher commission : starts at 40%

I'd do a mix of both, and then see how they do over a 3-4 month period before revising what you are promoting.
