GameBulge Lights Up With a Digg Overload

Aug 6th, 2007 by Leonid Shalimov | Scroll down for comments

Last night, one of the games (specifically Paintball) got to the front page of the playable web-games category on Digg.

The result? Edit* Over 56,000 unique visitors in 16 hours and counting. Over 300 clicks on AdSense and still going strong.

GameBulge went down for about 15 minutes until I re-optimized some of the scripts, contacted my webhost and got them to put it back up. Big shout out to ArmorGames, the creators of Paintball.

Great start so far, will keep everyone posted.
