Something I have been musing about is a game’s name. I for one always apply 1 vital rule to it. If I search the game, it must come in the top 20 (page 1-2) of Google’s search results.

It should obviously be something unique, like my “Roach Toaster”.

But another thing that has been bothering is alphabetical ordering. Will a game with a higher alphabetical order get more hits?

Most sites rank games in categories, but within those categories the games are alphabetically ordered.

This has occurred to me and it has most likely occurred to someone else too.

You think… hmmm, lets download some games. So you start at the top and whenever you see something interesting you download and… play. No-one goes through the WHOLE list, so the last games in the list didn’t even have a chance.

Now I know that a game which is naturally good will get downloads, but what about these odd times like these?

I am sure that having your game’s name high up in the alphabetical WILL get you more downloads…

What do you think?
