I dont have a site, what do I do?

Make one.

How? Oh, maybe I should try a blogspot site!

Oh, forget it. Just grab one from here, they have an automated standalone site that pulls the xml feeds. It is basically a site in a zip file. Just add water. Once you are logged in the affiliate program, go here.

I can’t see their affiliate program!

They are always at the bottom of the page, under the “Affiliates” link. Jesus!

Ok. But how do I upload it?

Get an ftp program, I have one here.

And what should I call the site? Do I buy a dashed domain or not? The XYZ blogger-self-proclaimed-seo-IM-mogul says I should not.

Fuck him. All you need is some keywords in your domain. Puzzle-gamesdownloads, freeactiongames, girlygames-downloads, something like that. Don’t bother with it too much. Try to snatch a .com, if you are lucky enough to find one.

Ok. I got a domain. How do I point it to my hosting?

Google it.

(26 secs later) I can’t find how… Oh. There it is. Ok, done. My site is uploaded. Now what?

Install it.

How.

Read its fucking manual.

But I can’t find how… Oh. There it is. Ok, done. Now what?

Now you need visitors and incoming links. Go make them.

The ZYX blogger said that I should comment on blogs to get traffic. I will go try that out!

Oh, FFS. Stop. Just stop. No, don’t do that. Go make accounts at reddit, stumble, digg and delicious. Social bookmark some of your site’s pages for a couple of links.

Ok…

Then read my post, and do the same. Use robosoft to submit your site to software directories. Make sure you make your game status free, you will lose a lot of links if you dont.

I am not sure I can pull this off.

TRY.

(12 hours later) Ok, I managed to complete the submission. I think I need more links, YZX blogger said that I should reciprocate links with other gamesites. I will go do that now.

NO. STOP! Oh my GAWD, stop. Listen. Go to tnx, signup at their system. Put some credits in your account, 20$ are fine at first. Go make a new campaign, choose your niches, games, entertainment, humor etc. Write your link, make sure you choose a good keyword anchor, like “puzzle games to download”.

So I will be paying like 20$ per month for this?

Yes. But the site should return ten times that if you do it right.

This interface is clunky. I can’t figure it out.

TRY.

(30 minutes later) Ok, I did it. Now what do I do?

Nothing. You are done.

What do you mean I am done? It can’t be that easy.

Yes it can.

Really?

Really. Go tinker with something else.

Seriously?

Hello? Hello? Are you there? Hello?

    Well, it took a few weeks for the money to start coming in, but even without the advertising on TNX my site is starting to pull in some money. If you’ve had an affiliate link up for PNP, I’ve signed up under you, or maybe I did. I can’t remember, but this method is showing results. Thanks :)
