WEST PALM BEACH, FL--(Marketwire - February 16, 2011) - [ Quepasa Corporation ] (
The redesign focused on improving usability and driving interaction within the games. The new gaming section now has a "Featured Games" window that gives additional promotion and visibility to a select set of premium publishers and their corresponding titles. These titles have been handpicked by Quepasa based on their quality, cultural relevance, localization for Quepasa's core geographies, and ongoing performance metrics.
"The goal of this redesign is to strengthen our game offering by providing our users with premium, culturally relevant social games that our users want to engage and play with their friends," said John C. Abbott, CEO of Quepasa. "We have spent the better part of the fourth quarter of 2010 working to make sure that our games sections appeals to our users, and also supports the needs of the third party publishers that we hope to attract to Quepasa.com."
In the first month since the relaunch, Quepasa's games section has already garnered two to three times its previous daily page views on a consistent basis, even with supporting a very limited set of social gaming titles at launch. There is currently a large pipeline of premium games Quepasa is preparing to launch over the next several months, representing new titles developed both internally and from third party publishers.
This includes titles generated by Quepasa's recently announced partnership with [ eGames ] to publish and promote eGames' titles on Quepasa.com and other social networks across Latin America. Quepasa also announced an agreement to acquire Brazil-based social games developer, XtFt Games and its TechFront Studios, which will allow TechFront's team of 41 full-time game developers to focus on developing culturally relevant social gaming titles on behalf of Quepasa. Quepasa has also recently partnered with [ PlaySpan ]to leverage PlaySpan's payment solutions for more effective direct user monetization across Latin America.
Quepasa reported its membership base increased by a record 2.32 million in January 2011 to total more than 29.5 million registered users. The site also generated a record 17.6 million unique visits in January, up from 16.4 million unique visits in December.
