Does providing online games increase web traffic and site visit duration?

I am looking to add games to a website I am building but want to know if offering games will increase my site stats.

It realy depends on the game you put up, and the type of sit eyou have up.
I own http://www.runempire.com and http://www.beginninghost.info and I know that if i put a small game on runempire it might drive traffic, but if i put a game on beginninghost (a hosting company) it wouldn’t drive much traffic at all, but have people not take me seriously.

    well that will probably depend on the typeof site it is. What you will need to do it get it listed in google and other search engines and stuff to get the advertisement and attention you need for it.

    If people find the game interesting, it will rank well for its keyword in the search engines and refer the game to their friends, then adding a game can help you increase your traffic.

    Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important — and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more – that’s additional traffic that you get for FREE!

    We actually tried this approach and our game pages became one of the most popular pages of the site. The key is how to monetize that traffic or make them interested in what you really offer. Chances are that these are people will simply want to play the game — and nothing more. More traffic is great; but traffic that does not bring you income is just that – a bandwidth hog. So you need to think of how you can monetize that page.

    If you are expecting significant pageviews, you may want to put a CPM based advertising where you get paid for every impression you save. Cost per click or cost per action ads may not work because these visitors are simply interested in your games so Cost per Impression (CPM) is the best way to monetize them.

    Also be sure that the page has a prominent link or information about your products or services. Your game page’s objective should be to bring in new traffic to your site — but you need to get them interested to what your site is all about.
