Massive props to something2 for his efforts in promoting the game. For anyone that missed the /v/ thread, he was posting screenshots, giving tips to people, answering questions, and inviting them to IRC.

I've been checking the site's stats via Google Analytics and there have been a number of new visitors lately who actually stick around. I spent several hundred dollars on an AdWords campaign awhile ago and I don't think it resulted in a single new player. Word of mouth is probably how this game is going to grow, so keep it up!

I've found voting sites work wonders! My game is hooked up with 7 sites. No call-backs, but still able to vote. I have paid on a few of them for a monthly campaign of $6-$10 to show your banner and such. Pretty cheap and it works.

That makes sense - traditional online advertising probably isn't going to be anywhere near as effective as specialized browser-based game sites. I've been meaning to setup rewards-based voting, but I could probably explore some of the paid options with little time investment. Which ones do you use and which have worked well for you?

Fair point, Ms. Rose. Rewards can always be added later.

Thanks for the references, Alan. I'll check those out.
