Ads and Money

[cactus]

I really need to start making money, pronto. I've decided to place some ads on my site, and I've begun to reach out for contacts. If anyone has delightful suggestions, speak to me

In case you'd be interested in renting a permanent ad for a month or two, I'm all ears. The site gets a bit of traffic everyday. Around 6-7 megs worth of it, and that is only counting the html pages, as all files and images are hosted offsite.

I'd also be willing to make smaller games for people by their design in exchange for cash. And if you want a permanent banner in any of my games, things can be arranged.

I need a decent income before the end of december or I might have to quit or put a temporary halt to my game making to find a job. I don't want to live on the street

And as always, feel free to donate... Although I'd feel a bit bad taking your money without giving anything in return.

Edit: Things are looking a bit better right now, so I'm not really in any desperate need of money right now.

When will you finish Akuchizoku? Remember, you agreed to give it out as a prize on the gm race.

So how are those ads working out?

I can't help but notice that google apparently has no idea what to advertise on your site I saw one for improving your golf skills just a minute ago.

Hahaha. They go crap. I've gotten $20 so far. Not too many clicks but many page impressions. I guess I should switch back to bidvertiser. Stupid ads

Hm... quite an interesting idea... Maybe there's really a game you could create using my story - I don't have any idea how to put that to real and your skills are almost legendary. But I can't offer you any money right now, I first have to get a bank and a PayPal account. But we'll see.

could you give a rough shoot in the dark on the cost of a comission game? just wondering what it would take for something cool like that haha.

[cactus]

To comission a game... Hmm. I guess around $10-$15 an hour (depending on wether I like the game idea or not) and you can have a look at the development times on my games page for how long a game would take. Not sure I have time to do any comissions at all, though.

The largest donation I've gotten would be somewhere around $20-$30 I think. Most are around $1 - $5.

I give the adds a occasional click.


Are you paid by the click?

[cactus]

I seem to get paid per unique clicks

[ronnoc]

Well, I gave you one click of money, anyways. (Which is like 0.01 USD )
