UFO Assault Submitted to GoofyGamer

I cam across a service at GoofyGamer that takes Flash games and submits them to (currently) 121 sites. I've submitted the UFO Assault game to begin with to see how this goes. With any luck, this should greatly increase the games' exposure, and therefore its' MochiAds revenue.

AdSense Ads Removed

I've decided to remove all the Google AdSense ads from my web directory. The ads have never done very well there, and I've had better returns from other web directories affiliate programs, notably V7N and Uquick. To start with, I've replaced the ads with banners promoting Massive Links, although I will look into placing a banner rotator there instead.

All miscellaneous and category pages are now showing the new ads. Details pages still need doing, as only the most recent have been built with the new ad. There are a few other pages on the main site that need altering too.

Mars Slider Update

Somewhat to my surprise, the Mars Slider game I added to Kongregate is doing better than the other two games combines. It also still has a rating of over 2, so is still showing in the normal pages.

There have been some error reports regarding a bug in the game. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to duplicate the error, but I think I know what must be causing it. I'm trying to fix it now.

From other comments, I have come up with an idea for another, more complex, version of the game.

V7N Paid

I've received another payment of $125 from the V7N affiliate program. This was the current outstanding balance, and brings the total received up to $450.

Another Game Added to Kongregate

I've just added another game, Mars Slider, to Kongregate. It's nothing stunning, just a simple slider puzzle game.

myLot Payment Received

I've just received a payment of $10.05 from myLot for my earnings from August and September. The site continues to pay regularly and on time.

Another Yuwie Random Referral

I've just received another random referral at Yuwie. This is the eighth one I've got so far.

10Bux Payment Request

10Bux have got rid of their new payment system, and returned to the old version. Better in that you don't have to try and catch the admin during the few minutes a day that they're on, which wasn't very good. I've submitted a new payment request for $25.12.

So far, haven't been doing too well with payment requests.

10Bux: Site hacked, existing requests deleted, had to submit new one.
Bux.to: Payment request submitted 6 months ago. Not deleted, but well out of their ToS for payments.
Bux3: Site hacked, existing requests deleted, had to submit new one.
Buxit.info: Site gone.
World Bux: Site hacked twice, existing requests deleted, had to submit new one.

Yuwie September Earnings

Yuwie earnings for September are now in. Total earned was nothing, due to very little activity by either myself or my referrals.

IsabelMarco Stops Paying Free Members

IsabelMarco has announced that they're stopping paying free members. Here's the post from the forums:

This change is to protect our investors and ourselfs!

Today we deleted nearly 60 accounts ( autoclickers )
Today we deleted more then 3000 fake accounts made by cheaters.
Lost aprox: more then 15.000$ ( thats our and also your money! )

most complainers come from free members! 99% of cheaters are free members!

Conclusion:

NO MORE PAYOUTS FOR FREE MEMBERS!
FREE MEMBERS CAN SUBSCRIBE AND CLICK AS MANY ADS THEY WANT,PLAY LOTTERIE AND SO ON.

EVERYBODY FROM NOW ON HAS TO BE pREMIUM TO GET HIS PAYOUTS!

there will always be enough to invest, and you can still refer

We have to get rid off those people who are only here to cheat or to earn money on the back of others (investors)

WE HOPE THAT ALL OUR INVESTORS CAN AGREE WITH THIS!
IT WILL BENEFIT US ALL
WE WILL GET MORE TRUST FROM ADVERTISERS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT WE HAVE QUALITY MEMBERS FROM NOW ON.

SUCCES TO YOU ALL!

I doubt I'll upgrade, unless I can use my balance for it. I won't upgrade from free membership in these sites until I know they pay. Too many vanish to risk doing otherwise.

MochiAds September Earnings

MochiAds September earnings are now in, a massive $0.02. This is based on ads being displayed in my two games - on two viable sites - and a handful of other peoples games being added to my Flash Games Site and Games Portal.

Earnings are not stunning. For my two games, neither has been distributed much yet where the ads can be displayed, so not much progress there so far. For other peoples games, my Flash Games Site isn't that popular, and, whilst my Games Portal is more popular, only games that save high scores to my arcade get the most game plays. I shall see if I can get some MochiAds developers to add the relevant code to their games.

Kongregate September Earnings

Kongregate earnings for September are now in. Total earned was $0.63. Not a huge amount admittedly, although only two games have been submitted so far and, frankly, they're not exactly stunning.

It is, however, a great improvement over previous game earnings - which was nothing. I'll update and add my other games to the site, plus develop a few more from tutorials.

myLot September Earnings

myLot September earnings are now in. Total earned was $5.59. Together with the outstanding balance from the previous month, this was just enough to qualify for payment. Payment should be received on or before October 15th.
