Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I have questions, and yes I have read this ENTIRE thread.

1.) What does eCMP mean?
2.) How come some eCMP's are a lot higher than others?
3.) What do I have to do to get my money from my page or is it an automatic thing where anyone who clicks on any ads on my page automatically give me fractions of a penny or whatever.

I really don't understand anything about this.

That's when you know you're legit.

My mind was blown when he did the redesign, now it's just permanently dead.

White Bread for whiteness
Ham for pinkness
BBQ Sauce for line detail
Bread Corner for that raised brow effect

Took way longer than i expected it to, i estimated at about 5 minutes, took me about 20.... Ham is a fiddely material.

Umm you posted that to wrong place? :3

Great idea, this is a good incentive for people to upload quality flash to newgrounds, or post porn in your blog, or whatever.

What determines "High quality" traffic?

I mean, if you have a ton of impressions what determines the difference between high and low quality?

3) When you reach the $50 minimum payout threshold, you will get a check or Paypal payment with your earnings.

I didn't mean how i'd receive the money in person, I meant more of if I had to upload an ad or something somewhere or all I had to do i sign up.

Also more questions.

4.) What is keeping a user from going on a friends, a public, etc. computer and just spam clicking the ads on his/her page?
5.) I understand how this will work for flash, audio and pages as well as probably in the Lit. + Art portals later, but will anything of the sort ever be added to the forums themselves?
6.) Will there ever be an option to instead of receive a monthly pay check, exchange the 50 bucks for - let's say - a ton of t-shirts and stickers?

Also i'd like to know, who was the gentleman who came up with the concept for this idea? :3

awesome new features

cant wait to try them out

It might be based on the diversity of ISPs or locations or how many click and sign up vs click vs just see.

Nothing. But there are systems in place that prevent spam-clicking from registering. Also, if you're caught doing that you can have your access denied. Also, even if you were somehow successful you're only making like... a dollar for all the effort anyway.

If you really had read through the whole thread you'd know the answer, oh hohoho.

i have read through this entire thread and i have no idea how to get revenue. ive signed up to be a part of rev share, but i dont have any sources, not even through my userpage. am i doing something wrong?

Did you sign up today? Give it a day or two, man. :)

ALSO HOLY CRAP I MADE A NICKEL.

Haahaha that's amazing. Apparently I have 1300 ad impressions from my userpage... really? 1300 unique views in under a day? If that's true you people need to comment more on my blogs, hah... but I have a feeling those numbers are somewhat wonky. I refuse to believe my userpage gets THAT many hits, but I guess over time I'll find out.

Hmmm so it is basically a ton of random shit we have no control over?

Gotcha.

I skimmed through the thread, reading what seems interesting and/or relevant cause there has been a lot of spammy posts in this thread.

Hmmm, after mucking around a bit, I found that my "all-time" impressions are more like 3200. This thing must have been logging me well before yesterday; it's the only explanation.

Well, if you pump out tons of quality submissions then you can expect the quality to change. But yes, there's a huge random element.

OHHHHH NOW YOU "SKIMMED."

I'm just fucking with you. They said that they would consider transferring your earnings to store credit, especially for those who aren't coming close to the $50 mark and don't anticipate getting there any time soon.

Look at all your stats.

Look at your aura.

It really shouldn't be that big of a shock.

Ugh, something tells me i'll never be able to create any flash games/movies that would be even remotely quality.

Someone thinks hes funny. :3

Good.

I don't like this new update Tom. There is really no point to it.

Wow, I had wondered why there were ads in alot of websites, I guess there just trying to get money for development. Luckily Newgrounds is strong now and isnt running into money problems!

Can I exchange my credit for date with Jade the assassin?

It is if you do the math. Between now and the program's inception I've made about 22 posts. That means 60 unique hits per post. That's nuts. I doubt 60 people on average even see my posts, let alone click through to my userpage.

I know the mod status and all that jazz will give me a slight edge over the other users, but not a thousand per day. At least I would find a hard time believing it.

See, 30 impressions (the graph just updated) makes a lot more sense.

Clarification: NG does not own Jade, I do, and store credit wouldn't filter back to me.

Feel free to PM me with your offer of how much cash you would pay for a date with Jade, you get one attempt at an offer, if it is high enough I will PM you with payment details, if it is too low you will be blocked.

ONE CHANCE AT BUYING A DATE WITH JADE, USE IT WISELY.

Hang on, what exactly are the places people have to go to for me to get revenue? There's my User Page, did you guys say also that the views on my own movies count as well?

But she has a penis.

Oh, I see what you were going to do. Sorry for double post.

Any page that's affiliated with you.

So userpage, audio submissions, flash submissions, actual flash movies... soon to come: art and writer's portal pages.

that's AWESOME!

i just went to my account and apparently ive already signed up, although ive earnt $0.00 lol...although ive had views to my games/movies.

Now when I check, it says 37.

So yeah, the 1300 number pretty well has to be backdated somehow. =)

FREEEEE MONEYYYYYYYYYY
