Great Questions! I actually clipped that part from my proposal and now ready to share it as it works! Though as the site grows in Alexa Ranking, social followers, SEO, Page Ranking, etc.. we will have lots of natural traffic. I do plan on sharing the site with my little cousins and have them bring it to their elementary schools. Since arcade sites are mainly used by school kids. But even in college I see tons of people playing flash games in class!
But here is the initial dirty trick, I have a premium account at
http://hitleap.com/by/Nemesis51. This is basically a really really good traffic exchange. It has a flawless plugin that rotates sites in the browser and doesn't use iframes! It also masks the referring site so we can't get caught using it. It is not bots but real IP address. I can set random hits per hour, I have been using 5-10 per hour. I can also set duration stayed on site. I have that set randomly to 30 - 60 seconds. Mochi ads need 15 seconds to fully load and get to game.
I have ordered 50 hits to a few pages at arcade.99webs.info and on average 20 impressions are counted so thats 20/50 or 40% 10 (50%) were from USA 5 (25%) germany and another 5(25%) from UK. I am assuming the other 60% of views were not counted as they were from lower tier countries. AS of now hitleap has no geo-targeting but having contacted support their implementing it soon.
hitleap credits can be obtained free, just leave your computer on the traffic exchange. actually it would be best if you used my ref link

mochi media provides free game content and pays .25 cpm so this should be a really successful project and I know it can get done if we have a dedicated group.
We can either do it all manually using wordpress or get a wp plugin/script to automate and have extra features. check these out. I wouldn't mind shelling out 60$ but as a group we could actually divide costs among us.

However I am focused on wordpress for its admin panel and SEO optimization and blogging. I think the blog having reviews and descriptions of the games we add will be a killing in search rankings.
