Games Portal Games Pages SEO Friendly

I've used mod_rewrite to make the Games Portal Games Pages SEO friendly, so instead of a page URL being something like:
http://games.directorygold.com/arcade.php?mode=game&id=7548&win=self

they're
http://games.directorygold.com/play/7548/Easter_Egg_Match_2

I've looked into using mod_rewrite before, but never been able to work out properly how to do it. In fact, the last time I paid someone to do it for my Resource Repository. This time, using the alterations done to that as a reference and a number of tutorials found online, I was finally able to work it out.

Easter Egg Match 2

I've released another new Flash game, Easter Egg Match 2. This is a sequel to Easter Egg Match, but is a multi-level game, with the number of cards increasing with each level.

Flash Game RSS and Twitter Feeds

I've added an RSS feed for the latest Flash games on my games portal, and added a Twitter account for this also, which uses Twitter Feed to get games published to the feed.

Games Portal Game Pages

As part of ongoing improvements at my Games Portal, I added individual game pages to the Flash Arcade, such as the one posted previously for Easter Egg Slots. These pages are intended to combine all aspects of any particular game hosted, such as details, comments, rating, highscores, bookmarking. Currently under development, the URLs are less than wonderful from an SEO viewpoint, being dynamic, and I haven't yet added any ability to post comments or rate games directly from the pages. I plan to add AJAX so that some of these functions can be carried out without reloading the page.

Easter Egg Slots

Easter Egg Slots is a new Flash game I've made. It's another slot machine game as these seem to be oddly popular. This time, I've released it first on my games portal, and I'll wait about a week before putting it into wider distribution. This way, a new game should show up on my site first before appearing on any others, which will hopefully be better for it in the search engines.

Kongregate Earnings for February

Total earnings from Kongregate for February were $0.39, the majority of this from Little Bo Peep's Sheep Toss. It appears to be getting harder to earn from games released here unless they rank well.

MochiAds Earnings for February

Total earned as a developer from MochiAds in February was $24.88, down from January. Picture Find and Pyramid Solitaire were still the best earners, with Little Bo Peep's Sheep Toss next. Poor eCPM for many games brought earnings down.

Earnings as a publisher were $0.17, the same as in January, although impressions were up a fair bit.
