Check out Rabbit Point casual games portal (BFG satellite system). Plenty of games to play on Xmas time.
P.S. The BFG Satellite system is really simple & easy to set up. Just copy & upload files to your site… and you’re done within few minutes. (Those of you who don’t know what the system is, check out this blog post about the BFG affiliate program)

Facebook ads: don’t really know. Haven’t used facebook, but I guess there’s nothing to stop you from trying (or googling for more info on how others have used Facebook ads). Don’t pour money into advertising before you know what you are doing. :)
Hi Juuso,
Is http://www.rabbitpoint.com/ is your SGS based portal? As I am starting my own portal with a basic mygamespace setup, I am wondering how do I promote the website, top earners like mygamespace.com/allrcade don’t seem to be doing much site wise unless if they probably have an active blog where they refer to their portal. Do I need to start a paid advertisement campaign for example? one approach I am trying is through a fan page on facebook, I can keep suggesting the page to friends whom can also promote it to other friends but that’s my take ages until it reaches target customers. Hence 1 or 2 in my over 200 friends will be interested in purchasing games. What is your thoughts on facebook advertisement program?
Regards,
Mo
