So your a small streamer on the Twitch platform? Want a way to get some possible free traffic going to your stream? Well here is one way to get some views going into your channel.
Gamepedia is now one of the biggest traffic generators for Twitch Streams
Please note: It's not going to work for all channels, you need at least 10-15 concurrent viewers + to be able to take advantage of it.
Steps
- Research Gamepedia and all the wiki's
- Go to gamepedia.com/wikis to get started on research
- Figure out what wiki is popular and is promo'ing streams.
- To know if gamepedia is promoting streams
- Go to a game wiki
- Then click on to a content page or a random page
- Make sure you have adblock off, and then check the bottom for a 'Promotional Content' section, if you see that, a stream should be showing as a embed.
- To know if gamepedia is promoting streams
- Start playing/streaming that game and if your channel's in the top spot, Gamepedia will feature your stream on all its wiki content pages for that game.
- During researching phase, check on Twitch to see if many people are streaming the game, less streamers the greater your chance at getting the top spot.
When your done streaming, put the past achieve in rerun and let it run until the next time your broadcasting.
Update 8/20/2018 Gamepedia now has created a rule out of no where saying any stream that is 24/7 / ReRuns which gets promoted at Gamepedia Wiki's will be banned.
Even though my stream wasn't in the top spot for a majority of the time, it still managed to generate around 5,000 channel views. Every little bit of promotion, views and traffic going to your channel helps out.
