One trick to get around this is provide free levels or other addons, and mention for example in your game that "Additional levels are available on internet". This way customers will seek Google, and can find your website like that. All mayor portals have this policy :( .

This is quite the eye opener. Thanks for the great insight! We're getting close to releasing our first game and have been doing a lot of thinking on marketing. We've been possibly considering portals, but are unsure of some of their practices. You mentioned "You have to remove any links in your game that point to your website" and this would be a real killer for us. So I was wondering if you know whether this is a frequent tactic of portals. Do you know of any that do not require you to remove your website links? This practice is akin to selling your eye for a pair of glasses. It just doesn't make sense in the long run! Thanks again! Wow! This is quite the eye opener. Thanks for the great insight!
