just a question

Being high in voting sites doesn't earn us very much traffic. Those sites are a joke, and really just a means of us offering players free Favors with a teeny tiny bit of incentive for us.

Are you really sure of this though? Not questioning your skills or anything lol but removing all voting links like that over night might have bigger consequences than we might think.

I was honestly surprised it took until the end of page 2 to see someone (@doubtfull) bringing up the loss of free advertising like that... but it made sense when you replied. Always thought the majority were from those voting links though, seeing as theres not many (if any at all?) PB ads out there

I seen one add somewhere after I joined. I joined this game because of the voting links. Seen Prisonblock in the top 3 signed up to all three and now I play this the most.

KT can probably see how many people are referred from the voting sites so he knows what percent comes from them, you never know unless you ask though

Yes he can. The website has its name in the URL when it pushes you onto the sigh. But I typed in the names of the games as I was on my mobile and the link wasn't working. I bet it happens to others so the total amount that enter through the website itself is probably not a lot.

Edit; because of the extreme value of favors compared to other games it may seem like a loss to prison block as per favor is worth like 16 cents each (500/30). Whereas on other games they may give a group of worthless items costing maybe 1 cent.
