Make a forum. Make and post with fake chick accounts. ???. Profit.

I am wondering why negro and .hack are drawing conclusions based on opinions without any real data to suggest that majority of players are this and that age?

@OP - whatever you do make sure you grab personal info like a newsletter or sign up to access free shit like maps etc above. Then you will have an idea how to better monetize the dom.

Anybody used the vbulletin 4.0 "suite" before? It's supposed to be a full fledged CMS with blog, articles, forum, etc.

Honestly this shit is hard to monetize I've had some good sc traffic and can't get it to make shit I think you will have to work 5 x harder in that niche than others

1) - forum is a must
2) - front page has replays/maps/ etc bullshit
3) - advertising promoting starcraft 2 (and fleshlight) related products

Who the fuck is buying SC2 guides anyway? You'll learn more watching replays and doing 1v1s than you'll learn from a guide.

Hope you are capturing e-mails. Repeat marketing.

Every few months some "hot" game comes out. Direct2drive at least has an affiliate program. Wish steam did - but they don't.
