Video Games website which virtually runs itself
Video Games on Can i play is written using classic ASP and uses live XML feeds to provide content for the site and also the price and stock information. The website basically runs itself, with no further interaction from me what-so-ever. I also created some custom ad management software to manage the banner ads on the site. The banner ads appear on some pages but also appear under certain game titles on the price comparison page, encouraging you to try the same game on the likes of Virgin Games (example).

On the price comparison results page, I also incorporated a related voucher code and offers section. These 2 sections use keywords from the current page and try and display related information.

As Can i Play has a FaceBook fan page, I decided to put FaceBook Like buttons on most pages. Also the site has a integrated blog, which is powered from Tumblr. Anything posted on the Tumblr blog, will appear on the website, posted to Twitter and also posted on the FaceBook fan page.
This website is hosted by me via CyberHost Pro.
