The games section of the DownBroad is slowly developing but we observed the shift in playing the games online rather then install a 200Mb on the desktop.

The solution to this is the new brother GameBroad - home of 6000 arcade games. Packet with 12 categories: Action, Adventure, Ball, Board, Card, Casino, Classic, Puzzle, Racing, Shooting, Sports the games located on GameBroad are online playable flash games. The website will be weekly actualize with new games. Which is my favorite? For the moment: Racing games.


Arcade Games

At the same time we have ported the English version of the GameBroad to a localized romanian version: Jocuri gratis - JocuPedia. The romanian version is still in migration phase, only part of the 6000 archive games are now ported on JocuPedia.

Jocuri Gratis

I asked tribal Fusion for an account to start promoting some of the products. I was thinking at a test account with 300$. What was the answer, read bellow:

Tribal Fusion answer:
“Thank you for your reply and everything looks good except the answer to the budgeting question. Unfortunately, $300 is not sufficient enough to test your product through our network.

The minimum of $10,000 for targeted buys and $15,000 for run of network buys are in place to allow the ad server to effectively optimize by gathering enough statistically relevant data to dynamically reallocate impressions to the best performing sites and avoid untargeted placements, thus providing the highest ROI. Anything less than $10k means that we cannot do an effective job of promoting your product.

Let me know your thoughts.”

Sometimes they are so long they break into two when you send them in an email.

When we start creating the StartUrl our example to follow was TinyUrl. We found that we can do better so we added the following features:

- top 5 urls accessed (if the url is public)
- last 5 urls added in the StartUrl
- a nice design that fits the website profile

We are working on creating an Internet Explorer extension and a Firefox extension for easy creating the short url-s directlly from these browsers. StartUrl works on any browser and any operation system and is FREE.

How can I easy submit my website clean, secure and to as many reliable directories as possible?

Belive me was not easy to solve this problem. Yes I have worked with excel lists, text lists and so on. No, this was not the way to fast promote a website. From that moment I said: “I can do an application to make my life easier!”.

The result is an application developed to fit EXACTLLY what an entrepreneur or website owner needs. Website Submitter is a submission application developed from the point of view of the person using it.

Website Submitter - product page
Website Submitter - download
Website Submitter - flash demo page
Website Submitter - purchase page

Here are some of the features listed:
- Increase search engine traffic of the website with important one way links
- Easily submit multiple sites using profiles
- Always have the most current list of search engines and directories. Yes I will say this is the most important feature in the software. Every directory owner is asked to submit his own directory on the submission page.
- Save time, money and effort.

I decided the application to be marketed with the following headline:

“The easiest web semi-automated promotion tool. With our software you will never need to search for places to advertise again. Easily submit multiple websites in one click.”
