MochiAds Payment Received

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

Kongregate Earnings For October

The total earned from Kongregate in October was $0.26, the majority of this from Spooky Pairs 2 during the few days it was present there.

Fizzy Earnings for October

The total earned from Fizzy for October was $12.49, the highest yet. Two new games were added during October, Spooky Pairs and Spooky Pairs 2.

I still don't have final figures for September. A couple of days before the end of the month, the stats stopped updating, and after the end of the month, September's figures were never added. I contacted support, and was told it was being looked into, but haven't heard anything else yet.

This is fairly important as, going by what the last figures were from Fizzy for September that I know of, I passed the $50 payment threshold today.

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.

New Game, Spooky Pairs 2

I've released a new Flash game, Spooky Pairs 2. The game is currently only available on my site, but I shall be releasing it generally shortly, and after I've made a few changes.

Second Massive Links Affiliate Payment Received

I've received my second payment from the Massive Links affiliate program, slightly under a year since I received the first. The amount received was $65, bringing the total earned to $122.50.

V7N Affiliate Payment Received

I've received another affiliate payment of $25 from the V7N affiliate program, bringing the total up to $600.

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.

Kongregate Earnings for September

Another poor month from Kongregate with only $0.04 earned.

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.
