MochiAds Earnings for February

The total earned as a developer from MochiAds for February was $28.26, again down from the previous month. Impressions were substantially decreased from the previous month. Once again, Pyramid Solitaire was the highest earner, followed by Picture Find. From this point on, however, the total earned by Picture Find from MochiAds will be substantially lower, as it has now had to convert over to MindJolt's new ad API, which is where most of its' revenue was coming from.

Earnings as a publisher were $0.44, down substantially, although impressions here had also decreased.

MochiAds Earnings for January

The total earned from MochiAds as a developer for January was $38.38, down quite a bit from the previous month, even though impressions were up very slightly. eCPM was down quite a bit which accounted for the drop in income, probably because of the typical drop in most advertising budgets in this part of the year. Pyramid Solitaire was the highest earner, followed by Picture Find.

The total earned as a publisher was $0.76, up from the previous month which was due to a large increase in impressions, rather than eCPM.

MochiAds Payment Received

I've received another payment of $101.31 from MochiAds, for earnings from November and December.

MochiAds Earnings for December

The total earned from MochiAds as a developer for December was $53.39, up from last month. Impressions were also up by over 10,000. Two new games were released, Decorate Your Christmas Tree and Christmas Pairs, which accounted for the increase. The highest earner was Picture Find, with Little Bo Peep's Sheep Toss coming in second.

The total earnings as a publisher were $0.65, up substantially from last month, with impressions up also.

MochiAds Payment Threshold Reached

Well, with less than a day left to go this month, I've reached the $100 MochiAds payment threshold. This is for earnings in November and December, and means that I'll receive a payment by the end of January.

Little Bo Peep's Sheep Toss Live on MindJolt

I nearly forgot, but Little Bo Peep's Sheep Toss was published on MindJolt today.

This is the second game I've had published on MindJolt, but this one uses MJ's new advertising platform. I'll be interested to see how well it performs; the eCPM for Picture Find on MJ using MochiAds has been $1.35 recently, about my highest.

I've heard that the first time a game is played using the new ad system, no ad is shown. This could potentially make a huge difference to the initial earnings for a game.

So far, Little Bo Peep's Sheep Toss looks like it could well be doing better than Picture Find did; it already has 22 likes in one day as opposed to Picture Find which has only 10 in the over a year it's been live.

The biggest earners are now Pyramid Solitaire and Little Bo Peep's Sheep Toss thanks to competition winnings, followed by Picture Find from its MindJolt impressions and then Meteor Storm from the sitelock sold.

MochiAds Earnings for November

The total earned from MochiAds as a developer was $46.82, slightly up from last month, although total impressions were down. Pyramid Solitaire was the highest earner for the month, due to a substantial increase in eCPM. Picture Find was second for once, and Spooky Pairs 2 was third again, still due to Halloween related impressions.

Earnings as a publisher were $0.45, up by slightly more than 50% from the previous month, although total impressions were slightly lower.

MochiAds Payment Received

I've received another payment of $122.38 from MochiAds. This is for earnings from July to October.

MochiAds Earnings for October

The total earned from MochiAds for October as a developer was $45.11, again up substantially from the previous month. Impressions were also up. Picture Find and Pyramid Solitaire were once again the highest earners, with the newly released Spooky Pairs 2 coming in third, based on the three days it's been on general release. Older releases, Spooky Pairs and Spooky Slots did well for this month.

The total earned as a publisher was $0.29, slightly up from last month as were impressions.

MochiAds Payment Threshold Passed

I've just passed the $100 payment threshold for MochiAds again. This will mean I should receive a payment from them for earnings from July-October by the end of November/beginning of December.

MochiAds Earnings for September

The total earned as a developer from MochiAds in September was $33.67, up substantially from last month. A significant amount of the increase was from Picture Find, still the best performing game. Total developer impressions were slightly down, so the increase was due to better eCPM.

There are three games on the list with Chinese names. These are free translations into Chinese, done by Mochi, of existing games, Picture Find, Pyramid Solitaire and Space Slots. Mochi is going to distribute these games to Chinese portals, and hopefully stop said portals from taking peoples games and removing the links and advertising.

Given the low eCPM for Chinese traffic, it's unlikely that any significant income will be derived from this, but any is better than none, and the eCPM has shown an upwards trend. It's now several times higher than it used to be, which still mean this is only a couple of cents.

I intend in the future to integrate the translations into the games, rather than making new versions; however, these three games are all in ActionScript 2, and I hadn't looked into doing this in AS2, and have no intention of learning new methods in it.

Earnings as a publisher were $0.28, again significantly up from last month, although impressions weren't that much greater.

It's interesting to note though that, despite the publisher earnings having increased, Google AdSense made more on the 30th September from pages with games on than the publisher earnings for the entire month.

MochiAds Earnings for August

The total earned from MochiAds for August as a developer was $20.59, again slightly down from last month. Once again, Picture Find was the highest earner.

The total earned as a developer was $0.14, with both impressions and earnings down.

MochiAds Earnings for July

Total earned as a developer for July from MochiAds was $22.10, down slightly from last month, with Picture Find once again the highest earner. Obama Uppy did reasonably well in the short time it was publicly available, despite getting poor ratings.

Total earned as a publisher was $0.16, substantially down from last month, mostly due to performance problems on the Games Portal.

MochiAds Payment Received

I've just received a payment from MochiAds for $114.76 for earnings in March, April, May and June 2010.

MochiAds Earnings for June

MochiAds earnings for June are now in. Total earned as a developer was $24.42, roughly the same as last month. Picture Find once again had the highest revenue, largely from MindJolt.

Total earned as a publisher was $0.26, up from last month, with impressions up also.

MochiAds Threhold Passed

I've just passed the $100 MochiAds payment threshold again. This means I should receive a payment from them at the end of July/beginning of August.

MochiAds Earnings for May

MochiAds earnings for May are now in. Total earned was $24.30, substantially down from last month. This is probably due to less impressions from MindJolt amongst other things, as the MindJolt impressions are typically the highest eCPM.

Total earned as a publisher was $0.20, down from last month, although impressions were up slightly.

MochiMedia Developer Profiles

A feature on the MochiGames website that's just been introduced is the developer fan page. Every public game on the website by a developer links to their fan page, which shows all their available games, plus allows you to become a fan of that developer. Short updates can also be posted to their fan page by developers, which will also appear in the streams of all your fans.

So, here's my fan page with my current massive number of fans, one (me).

And here's the full MochiLand post about the new feature.

Also, $0.01 was earned from Newgrounds, but this wasn't allocated to any particular game.

The total earned from all games from all sources was $411.26. There was no sponsorship monies made, probably because none of the games are either good or popular enough to attract sponsors as yet. I have a few mostly made games that I'm going to finish before starting work on some, hopefully, more popular games.
