In every game your release, add a link to your WAP page, or maybe even have a pop up like with your ads. After playing AC2, I had to start/restart the game a few times just to get this web address written down, so I could see what other cool things you were up to. Joe Shmoe won't do that, but if he just finished a level in AC1 that says "Try AC2 click here now!" I bet you would see more traffic.

Yeah, I've got something like that in 'Water Stealers' and 'Attack Stack'. It only works for 'Midp2.0' phones, so I didn't have the feature in my previous games.
Also, I didn't really have a proper website when my older games were released. Attack Stack should be out soon, I am just waiting for my advertisers to release it.

You could always re-release the older games with new code. Then any new traffic would be able to find your other games. I don't know getjar's rules, but would they swap the old game for the new one without messing up your profile?

Yep, I can swap the game files without much trouble. The problem is that I have to update the game, send it to the advertisers, and then when it finally gets updated by the advertiser's I have to upload it everywhere else again.
If I had minions, I'd make them do it for me. It's just a mess of boring fiddlyness, which is why I haven't got around to doing it. I haven't started any new projects for a while for the simple reason that I have let stuff like this build up, and I am trying to make myself get it all tied up before diving into a new project again.
The major reason I haven't touched AC1 is that I want to add online scores and the website-link, but it won't be worth the effort until my advertisers update their feature set to insert an add between levels. At that point I'd be able to make more than $5 a day from AC1, which is actually what it brings me in total day-to-day. Getjar.com makes it look like I get 10,000+ downloads a week, but that's BS. AC1 gets played less than 1000 times per day world-wide including all the websites that have it for download.
