Fragtard Gaming Site

Merika · 08-31-2005, 01:43 PM

For those of us who don't play online games....how is everything going with the site??? Is there anything we can do to help promote it elsewhere...like a banner signature or something? I surf alot and would love to get the name out.

(I thought of this when I noticed Paul had the link as a signature.)

Fragtard is a new gaming site and the problems associated with starting a gaming site is that there's literally thousands of them online. The thing that would help us the most is if we were to have our own 32 - 64 slot gaming server with accompanying Teamspeak Server.

Since the newsletter is done and will soon be distributed I'll be working on SEO (Search Engine Optimization) for Fragtard, Hobby-Universe and Lifesupporters. If we can get within the first few pages of google for the most popular searches then the traffic will just flood in.

Well, in theory.

I really appreciate you asking about it Merika, I devote a lot of my time to that site which would otherwise be spent here so my low post count is not a reflection of my love for this site but of my dedication to the network as a whole. I'm not entirely sure what we can do at this point as a group to promote that site but honestly besides word of mouth to anyone who may be interested, the rest is really up to our gaming members to and ourselves to put out some cash for gaming servers in the future.

Fact is.....I happen to be on tons of websites/forums. They are all money making in nature....but I'm sure the guys on there (most are younger guys) play internet games. If you guys could come up with a banner of some sort that I could use under my signature....it would be free advertisement. I'll try to come up with something nifty using the tiny url.
I'll start that today....so be checking in the next few days to see if your traffic increases any.

ALSO...if we had some signature banner ads available like Duke uses under his post....we could send them out on our emails. There's no reason for those of us who live on the puter....couldn't help spread the word around. I think the younger/male group will be more prone to go to Fragtard. From there....maybe they will come to here.

If we are lucky....a few will be posting spamming machines like Weiser. HAHA!

I can get to work on a few banners immediately Merika.

What sizes would you like the banners to be?

Merika · 09-01-2005, 01:51 PM

Like the one you have.... same length....but maybe not as thick.

( :? sounded like a wierd conversation)

Duke · 09-01-2005, 08:57 PM

Too bad you weren't whispering it in my ear.

Paul · 09-02-2005, 02:53 AM

That sounds great Merika! Duke and I will have to talk as well when he has a few minutes and see what banner we want to use and how to go about it. THANKS!

I think if they were available...we probably have several members who would attach them to an email or in other places where they post. Jackson and I are going to start working on our website this weekend. We need to check around to see where we can get a good deal...but not one that looks cheap. I'll make sure it's on there too.

Is it complicated to have one that you can click on and it lead you to Fragtard or here?

Duke · 09-02-2005, 05:25 PM

Nope it's really simple in fact. I'll create some banners based off of the headers for starters and give you the signature code to re-direct to the sites.

Merika · 09-04-2005, 06:37 PM

We may have more members than myself who would like to have them. Are you going to put them in any special area for us to get the codes from?
