I've got a gaming website, like yours, but not as smart looking: http://www.funnygamesspot.com What I suggest is getting a Facebook fanpage up, and corral all your friends. You could get a following for your site that will revisit it again and again. Good luck, and nice work!
Nice! Are you making any money on your site?
Don't believe the notion that making 100 websites that earn $1 a day is easier than making 1 website that makes $100 a day. It's not. Create value, make users want to stick around, iterate, grow.
However , making 50 sites that make 500 a day is a lot easier than making one site that makes 25000 a day. A lot easier.
You might like to check out my distribution feed - loads of great games zipped up ready for distribution or embedding from a wide selection of the top devs and portals: http://playtomic.com/games/catalog You can pull it all in via script through the very customizable feed: http://playtomic.com/games/feed Portals are a lot of work though.

Your site crashed my browser and in turn my Mac. I never even saw it.
30% to 70% CTR is nearly impossible. You can only get it in very specific cases. 1.5% CTR is pretty good for Adsense. If you can get it up to 5%, consider yourself lucky.

Wikipedia says that IE8 supports them to some extent. But you are right, you would need to build two solutions to support older browsers, too.
why do you need to implement two solutions if sprites is OK for this case? data url is great in some cases, for example generate images on client side but imho css sprites are optimal there.

Making 1 site that makes 500 a day is quite difficult. Just ask about 99% of people here on HN that have tried.
In response to FreeRadical: It's all about the point of diminishing returns. I spent 6 years on my first site, and it's a huge amount of work with literally thousands of manhours put into it. Just a month ago I launched another site, intended to be a minimum viable product that I can just develop and leave, and it's working out OK thus far. Don't get me wrong, the first is very much successful (2MM+ pageviews a month), but that's thousands of hours I could have put into making multiple other sites, each making a lot less but relatively more.
I'm learning web programming, trying to start up little sites. Please leave me your email or drop a line: nleschov at gmail
