			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This related games MOD is for the <a href="http://quickarcade.jcink.com/" target="_blank">phpqa</a>. It displays a box of 5 related games beneath the flash game on every game page. This should help users navigate your site to find more games, and give your site more internal links.<span id="more-32"></span></p>
<p>[<a href="http://entertainmentsiteowners.com/blog/download-manager.php?id=6">Download Related Games MOD</a>]<br />
<em>downloaded <strong> 31 </strong> times.</em></p>
<p>Games are determined as &#8220;related&#8221; by being in the same category. Basically 5 random games are displayed from the same category of the game being played. If no related games show up after you install this mod; it&#8217;s probably because you don&#8217;t have any other games installed in the categories.</p>
<p>Other arcade scripts have this feature so I thought I&#8217;d make one for phpqa. It&#8217;s also the same concept of the related topics block as seen on many forum systems.</p>
<p>If you have already installed our <a href="http://entertainmentsiteowners.com/2008/02/26/add-game-to-myspace-or-other-website-phpqa-mod/">Myspace Mod</a> read the second set of instructions in the ReadMe.txt file.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.funklicks.com/index.php?id=evilfurby">FunKlicks</a> is well known as the best arcade banner exchange service out there. Their CTR is unmatched. I also highly recommend purchasing impressions from them. The problem is, that it&#8217;s become literally impossible lately to buy impressions there.</p>
<p> Waiting several days to buy has been common for quite some time but for the past few days there was not even an estimate for the number of days left till impressions are available. Now finally tonight it says <em>&#8220;We anticipate that packages will be available in roughly 4 days&#8221;</em>. Four days is usually about the max # of days that they&#8217;ll estimate. It will probably be 4 days or 3.something for at least 48 more hours.<span id="more-30"></span></p>
<p>I&#8217;m not griping about the service because I realize that Mark is one of the few exchange owners that doesn&#8217;t screw us out of our money when he can&#8217;t provide the impressions. Some other exchanges would gladly accept your paypal payment and then either fudge the stats or send you some uber cheap-foreign-proxied-garbage traffic that they buy off a 3rd party.</p>
<p>From where I stand, this appears to be a symptom of an industry in which the market is totally saturated. The ONLY way an arcade site can make money is by focusing on obtaining affordable <strong><u>traffic</u></strong>. When such sources of traffic become limited, the new/small arcades aren&#8217;t making as much money and are having a harder time improving their traffic. Sure there are alternatives for traffic that aren&#8217;t as affordable; and that still affects the bottom line.</p>
<p>More evidence of a suffering market would be, a couple of webmasters that own above-average arcades, starting to post more in the webmaster forums. (looking for exchanges, buying out sites, etc) <a href="http://www.talkarcades.com/members/bootyarcade.html">BootyArcade</a> and <a href="http://talkarcades.com/members/gameserpent.html">gameserpent</a>.</p>
<p>Arcades are a crazy niche. If one reads the popular forums, they&#8217;ll witness that so many sites these days are created, only to be sold a few days/weeks later. Now if we could just get every single arcade website that is created (probably about 5-20 right this second) to add funklicks banners, maybe we&#8217;d be able to  purchase impressions again. Nahh, they don&#8217;t have enough traffic. Oh well, we&#8217;ll figure out something&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently there have been several webmasters outed for their methods of cheating link exchanges and banner exchanges. After several topics were posted TalkArcades created a new forum section to report these sites and their methods: <a href="http://www.talkarcades.com/hall-shame/">Hall of Shame</a></p>
<p>Be sure to read each page of every topic because there are several instances in which multiple sites where implicated within a thread. Better make sure to remove any of those links from your site!  With the type of massive traffic trading that happens in the arcade industry, I have no doubt that there will be very many cheaters exposed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a release of an addon that works with onArcade v2.1.0. Members can add a youtube video and an mp3 song to their profiles. Members can easily add these things while editing their profiles. They simply add the video id (instructions on profile page) and a full url to an mp3 file and voila, their profile is more customized than ninety-something percent of most arcade profiles.</p>
<p>Here is the download info:<br />
<span id="more-27"></span></p>
<p>[<a href="http://entertainmentsiteowners.com/blog/download-manager.php?id=5">Download Here</a>]<br />
<em>downloaded <strong> 63 </strong> times.</em></p>
<ul>I can install this mod for the low price of $5 per site.</ul>
<p>There are 2 separate instructions for the default and dark templates.</p>

[<a href="http://sadeyed.com/profile.php?u=1" target="_blank">Demo Profile 2</a>]</p>
<p>I feel that profile features like these have potential. The arcade market is a bit saturated and if one wishes to have a future with their site, return visitors are a must. Offer more to your members and more random guests could become daily players!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On sites using php, mod_gzip can save you bandwidth and is easy to implement. This Apache module compresses HTML on all newer browsers and older browsers that do not support gzip will work fine with uncompressed HTML. This has been posted on many blogs and forums, but I&#8217;ve noticed that many stock scripts do not have this simple line of code.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s easy to add to your site. Usually you just need to add it whichever file has the overall header for the site. (index.php. etc.)<br />
After the <code>&lt;?</code> on the next line add: <code>ob_start("ob_gzhandler");</code></p>
<p><a href="http://whatsmyip.org/mod_gzip_test/">Click here</a> to check if your site has mod_gzip enabled. Once you have it installed there is also a tool on that page that tells you how much bandwidth data you are saving per page view. <a href="http://whatsmyip.org/mod_gzip_test/phpgzip/">More info here.</a></p>

<p>My name is Andrew Rae and I&#8217;m the project manager for &#8216;<a href="http://www.phpsugar.com/melody.php" title="PHP Melody - Music Video CMS">PHP Melody - Music Video CMS</a>&#8216;.</p>
<p>Since most of the ESO readers already have an arcade site they understand how valuable is each visitor. Flash Games keep your visitors engaged and  wanting more new stuff but have you ever considered adding videos as a form of entertainment for your visitors?</p>
<p>Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice to instantly double your exposure and also have more relevant pages indexed in the search engines?</p>
<p>For the past year we&#8217;ve been working on PHP Melody which is virtually the only music video script out there.<br />
<span id="more-22"></span><br />
PHP Melody is delivered with a ton of features and a huge database of over 3200 music videos. Many of our customers that also own arcade sites found great value in PHP Melody and they&#8217;ve all reported great success weeks after adding music videos to their sites.</p>
<p>I invite you to post your questions in the comments and in order to learn more please visit the product&#8217;s page over at:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.phpsugar.com/melody.php">http://www.phpsugar.com/melody.php</a></p>
