One of the most important things today, online, when owning a website is to make sure you have lots and lots of traffic. The same rule applies when having an arcade site, too.

There are lots of ways to increase your traffic but here is a guide, with easy-to-follow steps that will get you more traffic.

1. Choose a domain name that is simple, obvious and easy to remember. Try using key words like games, arcade, online. This way, search engines like Google or Yahoo to find your site easily.

2. Search for the names you thought for your website on google and see which ones have the least results. You should choose that one so your website will be higher ranked.

3. Make sure your URL is SEO-friendly. Instead of having long URLs like “/games?=id34765” you should have a simple URL like “/games/pacman”. This means it will allow search to find your site more easily. This feature is already provided by WPArcade.

4. By adding new games every day (or whatever you decide) it keeps your site fresh and popular, this way you make sure your visitors will come back later and also you can gain lots of new visitors in this manner.

5. Add popular games, which lots of people use to play them. This way you attract a lot of potential visitors.

6. Have a user-friendly theme that is clean, easy to use and appealing. You can try one of WPArcade’s themes.

7. Promote your arcade web site to social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Digg, StumbleUpon or many others. This way people can share your website’s address to their friends, getting you more visitors.

8. You might want to exchange links with other arcade sites, which are higher ranked, so some of their visitors will come to your site. Also, add traffic exchange banners, for example, you can use Gamesbannernet.com or FunKlicks.com.

9. If you are using ads or other ways of monetizing your site, try to make them less obvious and user friendly, so your visitors will not get annoyed of pop-up windows or huge ads that cover half a page.

10. Last, but not least, always check your games for broken links or if something isn’t working. If your games are faulty you may lose lots of users.

These are 10 easy-to-follow steps that make sure you will get more traffic for your website.
