    Here's a question for everybody. (Sorry if it's already been addressed)

    How/What is the best way to advertise a game?

    Forums
    Promo Codes
    Social Networking
    Through Other iPhone Apps

    What other techniques/suggestions do people have?

    Clearly being featured on the app store is a benefit

    Interesting Article, Thanks

    Wondering how applicable it is, since it's about 1/6 a year old now, and such.

    I mean I just released my game 2 Block (Tetris/Puzzle Fighter like) And I'm just trying to figure out how to get so people can notice. While TA is a good forum, it is generally catered to "gamers", while I'm trying to direct it at more of the 'anybody' audience, like as I say, the general public that's tried/played Tetris.

    Though the reviews are nice (thanks, though I wished/hoped the other people I gave promo codes to would have posted reviews/ratings) it's still I guess not enough sales (no where near) to be anywhere noticeable on the iTunes store.

    So I just wondered if people have any good ideas of how to get it out there
