Sticky Content

We are looking for sticky content consisting of games like those seen on, which can be easily incorporated into our site.

What are the best sources for these, together with the best gaming sites.

Has anyone tried miniclip, I have never been into online games, but I wasted about 4 hours last night.

I have 8 miniclip games at the mo, i use more, but that's not the point. They are easy to install, are great for bringing people back etc.

They can kinda kill bandwidth though. Mine arn't overly used, but they still slice through several Gb per month.

I have found other sources of games, but miniclip is best. If you could check which ones i'm using and use the others LOL.

Thanks

It maybe my PC but is Galactic Warrior loading okay on your site?

I don't wish you to feel, I am going into a competitive site, simply looking for some sticky stuff which may help with regular visitors.

LOL, i'm not really bothered which you use! Hangeroo is most popular, blobs is a good addition as it allows 2 simultaneous players. Stay away from the parking one.

Cheers for letting me know about the error, auto-play keeps turning off in the code for some reason, not a problem unless i re-upload. It has been fixed.

If you see this error again right click and press play, then click anywhere on the game. It will work.

I do have a few problems at the moment, i tried saving some money and moved them to a cheaper hosting account. It was a mistake, but it's gonna take a week or so to sort it all out.

By the looks of it, you can get games designed for you, or sponsor games.

I noticed a fellow affiliate had on one of them

freebieholics,

The banner that appears under the game for example, paintball, would that be one of your own banners, or one from miniclip, in return for using their service.

The banners mine. I wouldn't use anything that demanded that much ad space. Their requirement is not to alter the game, which includes links to them on the game menu, and normally once a game has been completed, and of course the game splash page.

I think the service is excellent, and apart from bandwidth costs id be surprised if you could find a down point. I wouldn't allow less than a gig per game per month if they are linked from pages reasonably trafficed. They do get played.

Our games bring in visitors by the thousand.

You can add a lot fo them your site if you wish.

Arse Race in particular brings loads of traffic - might be good on a gambling site

Farting Nun Organ has also been a runaway success.

The guy who made them is now freelance and will make games to your specification. He is going to make games for Miniclip last I heard.

Please forgive me Joker but I couldn't resist this.

Arse Race and Farting Nun Organ?

Isn't this taking the topic headline a bit too literally?

But thanks for the advice.

I got a couple of questions

Anyone know how much one or these things would cost to get done if I wanted one...roughly...

Is there a definite tangible effect on returns to your site if you only have one or two games or game of the month or do you think people just click through and bookmark miniclip.com...etc.. and rarely return....just curious

Thanks Joker,

The farting nuns had me stiches, then my 6 year old daughter says "Daddy they sound just like you"

PS As for the Dancing Blair, that was pretty special

I supply a link to the Dancing Blair, i often get visitors email to tell me how funny it is. It seems the thing they find funniest, because i don't get similar feedback from anything else on the site.

Shane, in answer to your questions the cost entirely depends on the complexity of the game.

A really playable game that will get you mentioned in the FHM top 100 would probably be a bout £3,000- £6,000. Bear in mind that the guy who makes our games is a professional games maker with 10 years experience making games for Playstation and should not be confused with someone who knocks something up in his spare time.

Something less complicated would obviously take less time to make and cost less, but may be less interesting to people.

The Real Value of Games

The real value is not in how many people come to your site or how long they spend on your site but the spontaneaous inward links which as you are all aware is Page Rank bounty.

The games tend to spread like wildfire and often get linked to from huge sites like Fark, FHM.com, even BBC.co.uk.

It is fun to have games on your site but if they are original and good they can really pay for themselves.

As usual Content is King

I'm more of a web designer looking to get into affiliation, rather than an entrepeneur who makes websites, so I might be biased or just plain snobbish, but most of the miniclip games are only average. Some are technically superb, like the pingpong one (my fave), but overall, you can do better by finding a copy of Flash and downloading some free source from somewhere like FlashKit.com. I've played every single one of them too (yawn!).
The main advantage I can see is if you have a miniclip.com section accompanying your own games, you automatically seem to have an influential content partner, and to all intents and purposes, you have.

If anyone would like to see my portfolio, which I'm not aggressively advertising on this forum for the reason that many people here don't post their URLs, just drop me a line. Flash and shockwave games aren't a problem.

Stay lucky,
Steve

PS You all seem like a decent bunch on here, so if it's mainlyunregistered users poaching content, would more private areas be useful?
