   Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on this. Whenever we release an iPhone game or application we make sure there is a page on our web site for it. It isn't particularly flashy but our web site is solid, looks profession, and is easy to navigate.

   I only ask because every time I read articles about promoting your iPhone games there seems to be a bullet for making sure there is a good web page for the game. I always thought this was a bit suspect. It's hard to track where sales are coming from but I don't have any indication that our web site has driven any and in my personal use I almost never find applications via the web in general. (I usually find games through the App Store, or when mentioned on dev sites).

   Granted it can't hurt to have a web site (assuming it's not terrible), but has anyone found it to be helpful in promoting their games?

   I'm not sure how good it is for promotional use, but it's nice to see a solid web site backing up a game. Sometimes I see a game on 148apps or something and then do a google search for the game before buying. If there is a site, I may check it out for more screenshots or information. A professional looking site/page will probably affect my decision.

   Another way that a website can help sales is by linking users to your other games.

   A lot of the time for me, as a user/gamer, I'll go look up the company that made a game that I like and see if they have a blog up about the development of that game and see if they have any other games that I might also enjoy.

   But I agree with @SmallMike, I don't think much of my original app purchases come from a developer's website, they usually come from reading about it somewhere (usually on blogs or forums) and then looking it up on the App Store and seeing what the screenshots and user reviews look like there.
