[casual_games] Popular european gaming portals

[Bernard François]

Hi,


Maybe this may help you to get some more info...

With quantcast.com you can obtain more geographic information of some sites.

I did a quick check for free / flash-based gaming sites and got the
following results:

http://www.quantcast.com/crazymonkeygames.com/geo?subtab=countries
http://www.quantcast.com/kongregate.com/geo?subtab=countries
http://www.quantcast.com/2flashgames.com/geo?subtab=countries
http://www.quantcast.com/fizzy.com/geo?&subtab=countries&start=0

Another tool, which works for all sites, is google trends; you can see
in which countries people searched for specific terms most (eg names
of gaming portals).

I just noticed that miniclip.com seems to be very popular search term
in Europe (especially Eastern Europe):
http://www.google.com/trends?q=miniclip.com&ctab=0&geo=all&date=ytd&sort=0

You can also compare sites with google trends:
http://www.google.com/trends?q=crazymonkeygames.com%2C+kongregate.com%2C+armorgames.com%2C+newgrounds.com&ctab=0&geo=all&date=ytd&sort=0
