One Week After Launching, Zynga's PetVille Reaches Nearly 6 Million Facebook Users

Zynga apparently started promoting its new pet-caring game, PetVille, on Sunday, just a few days after launching it. Now, the game has nearly 6 million users.

This is not the first time that Zynga has had a social game become this big, this fast — it saw similar results with its two most recent releases, Café World and then FishVille. Its tactics typically include featuring the newest Zynga game on the toolbar it runs across all its games (meaning access to tens of millions of its usrs), as well as buying Facebook advertising.
