ArcadeDog is one of my oldest sites, I have had it since 2003 believe. The site used to be powerhouse for generating revenue. It came on the scene before all the arcade sites were popular all over the internet, and it reaped the benefits.

However I started to neglect the site, quit updating it. I let it fall into the deep dark regions of the internet. Well finally I am starting to revive it. It has been coming along quite well. Have a new script powering the site now, also have a new template in the works. One thing I have to say though, social media sucks.

Now some of you had a heart attack right there I’m sure. Let me explain since the relaunch of ArcadeDog.com a couple of the games have gotten “stumbled”. Now this has brought in HUGE amounts of traffic, this month already over 8k unique visitors. But the traffic is all mostly trash. Sure one or two people MAY actually come back but its mainly just a waist of bandwidth. It made my CTR go way down on my ads both from Adsense and from AdToll. I guess the traffic wouldn’t be as bad if all my ads were CPM based, but they are all CPC, so its just bad. Hopefully the flood gates will start to dry up there and things settle back down to normal.
