Let face it, every once in awhile, FKG has a post with people looking to promote their game(s), and wonder where they can go to do that.

My question for everyone is this: do you have a reason why you are promoting your game(s)? To get more people to play your game, get more traffic to your site, boast your mad programming skills, world domination?

My second question is what methods have you used or plan on using? Pimping on Flash Kit Games and other messageboards, posting on popular sites like Newgrounds.com, good link sites like Jayisgames, game "sponsership" portals, or something else different (like making a game for some local band you like)?

With that in mind, please post why you want to promote your game(s) (if you have ever thought about it) and the method you have used or plan to you.
