Hello everyone,

I know alot of people here have websites' for their games, or their "studios"

I know I run one for mine:


URL: http://www.Drewsgames.com

I'm spending this week improving traffic to my website, so I'm looking to do some link exchanges with TGC members. So if you have a GAMING related website, any chance of posting it here?

Basically my website is now a freeware games site, and having just got it back online about 2 weeks ago, I've started rebuilding my traffic. I've goten about 90 uniques this week, up from 30 last week.

I'll of course link back! I'm building my links page today but thought I'd see what kind of link exchanges I could get from good old TGC.

I think this is a benefical exchange because I'm pretty good at building up website traffic over time; at one point Drewsgames.com was receiving 1000 uniques a day. (Then the new games stopped coming). I'm looking to reachieve that this month, with a bit of work on my behalf.

Hello,

There is currently a TGC webring, which is about a year old, and there are plans for an overhaul sometime soon (which will increase traffic quite a bit hopefully). If you're looking for promotion, then I reccomend you submit your site to the webring

Of course, I have a games site too, and I would happily swap links with you if you want to.

Yes, I have a games site. And it's pants at the moment, what with being rather devoid of content. It's not supposed to be brilliant, though, and I don't understand how the whole CSS/whatever thing works. Nor do I really care. I don't have the time to relearn everything...

http://www.robinsgames.com. Gets about 40 uniques/day. I can exchange you a link on my links page if you like, though I haven't done anything on it in a long time...

Still building mine. I want it to be more like a complicated asp.net based wiki where everybody can post stuff but will probably be overtaken by everything I post, creating the illusion that it isn't my website and problems shouldn't be directed to me. (smart isn't it)

I currently run www.ramiismail.com, but it's more of a portfolio than a website. I recommend exchanging links with MISoft and with me, when I launch games.ramiismail.com.

Nice site, by the way .

http://wwww.seppuku-arts.co.nr

Currently mine, it needs a little updating, but it has my Tutorials and a little non-game related section called Scribe. There's also a forum.

There is a games section, but I need to update the progress on Aertor's Saga and my Game Engine. (Which I will do once I've finished my latest part to the engine - which might be a couple of weeks as I'm busy with with Uni work)

Once Vortex is built, I'll be having a new set of tutorials on site, for 3D modelling, animation and texturing geared towards game making and some for the engine itself (on the scripting side and engine source code, if anybody wanted to use it for modding)

I get between 30 & 50 uniques a day.
My most popular page by far is the Spider Solitaire DS project.
Especially when new versions come out, there's a big spike in the number of visitors (like just the other day)

Indeed, web design (or coding) is too time consuming for a guy who has little time (everybody has seen how slowly my projects progress). Though I did install Joomla to my webspace all by myself and set up the menus and pages. I deserve some credit...


Joomla does its job and it is far less time consuming to update something or building your own CMS or php MySQL system.

My site was very busy back in '04 and '05, with about 50,000 copies of my game WordTrix 2.0 being downloaded. People are still playing my word games and adding their high scores to the leaderboards but I haven't released anything since '05.

I'd love to code my own website - it'd be rewarding, but time is an issue I'm afraid, I barely have enough time to code my projects, let alone a website (plus I'd have to learn a new programming language, my HTML is basic and I'm clueless with PHP )

Linky to MINet, the MISoft Studios website. We're always willing to exchange links with TGC community members, particularly sites as pretty as yours . Let me know if you'd be down for a link exchange, and I can drop Agent Dink a line later and ask him to add you to the MILinks page.

As Tom pointed out, we've been talking about overhauling the TGC Webring, and we're hoping to see a boost of traffic from it. You can submit to the current site and when we do the overhaul we'll move over all of the sites there currently to whatever new system we use.
