The FB page likes, blog subscribers and article views and discussions or something like these should be your objectives at this stage. What the objective need to be after the game launched several weeks. Now, you need to weigh the recharge, retention and the active reach.

Ten Ways to Promote New Browser Game

After you have developed a new game, the next step is how to draw traffic to your game. In other words, you need to get as more as players for your games. I am also the marketer and the following ways are the most useful that i tried . Before you start trying, you need to figure out what are the competitive advantages of your games since it's the core and fundamental elements. No one want to play a games without any features. 

how to promote new games

One- Social Website Interaction

Social websites like facebook, twitter, Google+, Reddit, etc. tend to be the popular marketing place. Don't just post your own information, remember to interact.

Two- Writing Blogs

Writing blogs is the best way to drive the organic traffic. If only you insist on writing game related blogs and interacting with other bloggers, there will be a steady flow of traffic even if you do nothing with other promoting ways. The most useful blog platform based on my experience are blogger, blog, wordpress, tumblr and FC2.  

Three- Incentive Mechanism

Why the browser game worth playing? No one would reject freebies. Try to give the first players free prop to stimulate their interests to enter the game. If they entered the game, it's possibly for them to become the loyal players.     

Four- Mouse to Mouse Marketing

Drive the first players to invite their friends to play this game. Why they will do this for you? Because if a people played the browser game through their inviting links, they can get large amount of free props that need to pay in the first place 

Five- Share Links
There are link sharing mechanism in some forums and blogs. You can put your links in the website. If you shared other links listed, people will promote your links as well. The most useful one i am trying is viralcontentbuzz. 

Six-Submit Game Review

The content of some game site are totally user-contributed like N4G. It's a good chance to get your game exposing on these sites. When you write the reviews, bring the important factors such as the release time, developer, publisher, game feature, game story, game video, pictures, soud, screen quality, UI, etc. 

Nine- Create game Community

It's very important to create a game community where you can update the game news, event and your players can also report bugs or communicate the gaming experience.  

Ten- Submit the press release 

It's far more enough to post news in the community. You need to target your news readers widely. Let the press release websites to distribute your news sounds nice. Such as gamepress. Once you submit game new valuable on gamepress, other game website will pick to print to their own websites.
