How to build flash game websites

Online arcades are a popular way to make money online.

The games found on these sites are usually simple, easy and free to play.

One of the really nice things about the online flash game niche is that it is HUGE, with hundreds of smaller sub-niches.

Although there is also usually lots of competition in the online game niche, in my experience you can easily create game sites that get a few hundred visitors a day.

The biggest negative about this niche is the low value Adsense clicks. If your game sites achieve enough traffic you will have more ways of making money, but Google Adsense is the best way to start.
