Five months ago, I created a flash games website called PLUGB. And yesterday, it broke its record and received more than 1000 visits (1172 to be exact). This is a great milestone for the website.
The number of visitors has been raising, especially during the last two months. Most of our traffic is from the US & UK (more than 80% combined). The bounce rate is about 20%-25%, which I consider good. About 90% of the visits that go to the home page play a game. This means that the website is attractive. The main source of traffic is search engines, but there are many direct visitors too. Many searches are for “plugb” or “plugb games”. When I launched the website, if you searched for “plugb”, Google would say “Did you mean: plugbr” (Brazilian computer parts store). However, Google doesn’t correct the searches anymore. Google has also added some site-links to the results page.
Regarding monetization, I am earning a more than $1 daily using BannerFlux. I like this ad network. The CPC is fairly good for this niche and all ads are game-related, generating a good CTR. If you own an arcade website or similar website, I suggest checking them out. I have also done one private ad sale so far, for $0.30 CPM. I am looking for other advertisers with the same (or better) rate.
So far, my results with PLUGB have been good. I hope that it continues growing.
