See the steps for getting the most exposure.
To get the most exposure for your game, try these steps:
1.
Create a page for your game on your personal site.
2.
Add your game to Mochiads.com. Insert ads and turn on Mochi Distribution.
3.
Submit your game to a large commercial portal that does not allow ads (e.g.,
AddictingGames.com). You will not make money, but you will get links back to your
site if the game is posted. Make sure this version does not have ads included. Use
Mochiads filtering to exclude the domains of these portals so ads will not show up, but
what will show up is other sites' that pick up the game and put it on their portals.
4.
Create a landing page on your site for portals that link back to your game. Be sure to
include the Mochiads
<embed>
code here, so if portals pick up the game virally, they
will display the ad-enabled version.
5.
Submit the game to any and all social and selective portals as you can find. Be sure to
submit your game to FlashGameDistribution.com.
