Strike Eagle – The First 40 Days

Strike Eagle - From April 1st to May 10th

Strike Eagle - From April 1st to May 10th

So far, Strike Eagle has produced close to 170,000 hits on the Internet with 140,000 ad impressions.  Today, I submitted Strike Eagle to “Flash Game Distribution” a site affiliated with “Flash Game License.”  Once the game is approved on FGD, I will track how many more impressions it gets once the automated system starts submitting the game around to other portals and sites.

When I wrote Danc of LostGarden on May 4th, Strike Eagle barely came over the 100,000 mark in ad impressions.  It has been steadily climbing and remaining close to 6,000 requests a day since.  In 6 days, it produced another 30,000+ impressions.

Frankly, I am astounded that the numbers are still climbing.  I only submitted my game to MochiAds (Distribution-enabled), NewGrounds and Kongregate.  For the latter two, the game no longer gets gameplays.  I’m not sure how it is being driven because I honestly believed that the game hit its peak with the spike occurring back on April 20th and then will slowly be dropped off the Internet in the wave of new Flash games coming down the pipe.  So I’m not sure what is driving up the numbers again recently.

So I submitted the game to Flash Game Distribution and will report my findings in the next few weeks to report on how much an impact FGD has.

    Hey, so what effect did FGD have in the end?

    Hey Michael,

    I think I need to fix my tags. But here is what happened after I put it through FGD:

    Aha, yes. I remember reading that at the time actually. Thanks!
