    Since this thread is a sticky, we're going to use some of the FAQ rules here. Please feel free to post a reply to give a new link, but once that link is put in the main post, we will be deleting the replies to keep things clean as well as to prevent long discussions. That should keep this a nice and concise list that developers can reference without a whole lot of other stuff.

    Re: Link collection - Pages that rate Xbox Indie Games

    I have a new site to add. It's my personal site and I've been doing my best to review games as often as possible. I'm trying to do my best to get the word out there on XBL Indies and I've gone as far as purchasing 122 indie titles so far. It's definitely a tiny site in comparison to others out there, but I do my best. Anyway, here's the site:

    Site: Pixelated Sausage
    E-mail: pixelatedsausage@gmail.com

    ...I know that it may be a weird and unconventional name, but it came from an old inside joke from my podcast and I personally love it (that's what counts right?).

    EDIT: Forget to specify...so here: (tokens only)

    It would be nice if the sites also gave some metric of their readership.

    Good call.  if someone wants to plug this in to the first post under my site, that's fine with me. 

    I have about 40-100 readers per day which fluctuates mostly based on when I post reviews.   From what I can tell I have about 400+ readers that check in regularly.  These numbers trend upward so far.   I am particularly encouraged when I see comments that successfully link gamers to a game that they would like.   That means I am doing something right.

    I tend to Tweet my posts which is a pretty good source of gamers and other game sites.   I try to post in appropriate sites and forums to draw readers.   In my opinion, it's a two way street - I advise developers to have a website that is easily googled and lightly promoted.   Linking from your website to other review sites tend to create a good source of cross traffic and googled based searches that lead to either my site or the developers site = good for you.

    Re: Link collection - Pages that rate Xbox Indie Games

    Not trying to be a pain again, but I have another favor to ask. I am the founder of ExL Studios and would like to request that you take off the text under our link that says "tokens" as we no longer accept them. We are going to be reviewing games based fully on our own decisions and purchases. Thank you. :)

    My website is packed with a nice, searchable, indexed list of XBIG reviews.  473 reviewed to date; 130 outstanding (at time of tapping).
