Also, my self esteem requires that you extend that value out a few decimal points, see picture: hahah. ;)

Unless I'm not "signed up" or something. I figure that just refers to filling in all the required fields in the Payment Address section? Tom said to follow the instructions and that's all I could really see that applied (and I've had those details filled out since March-ish).

Yes, I agree..

I hate seeing 0.00 haha :3

So awesome! Tom, you are a saint!

My self esteem has gone from low, to dangerously high!

<3
I love this new quick view on the account page :)

Do you get any money for ad impressions, or only when someone actually clicks an ad? And is the revenue section on your userpage automatically updated or does it take a while?

Oh, and this is an awesome and selfless idea. Sorry to sounds lick ass, but Newgrounds really is a website that gives back to it's community, wether it's in competitions, give aways or even simple ad revenue.

We salute you, the people's republic of Newgrounds.

Awesome Tom!

Haha, it pays to have popular flash!

Seriously though, I just want to play with the graphs. =)

I like the idea, but I still don't understand how to get money from our flashes, do we download them and put them into the fla. files or something? Sorry, I just want to get this right.
Also, do we automatically get money from our account once we do the billing address thing, or do we need to confirm somthing or add somthing to it?
Sorry, I know I'm a little slow...

I know eh? I just love the interactive flash for viewing the earnings. Click a button, and it switches. I like this new interface over the old buildings and such, LINES EVERYWHERE!

You do have to update your flash to install the ads, yes. This sytem has been around for quite some time though. The NEW system that Tom et al. are talking about today involves a much more passive paradigm: basically you can now get credit for any ads viewed and/or clicked on that are on pages affiliated with you (your userpage, your audio submissions, etc.)

Also, do we automatically get money from our account once we do the billing address thing, or do we need to confirm somthing or add somthing to it?

Not entirely sure. I think once teh billing stuff is filled out you're plugged in. I'd like a smidgen of clarity on that front as well.

I am pretty sure that's all there is to it.

Sounds neat...

So question.
I have an animation that I submitted a while back through the Flash API system. Have I lost all the money that the submission earned?
And number two, how do you add ads to flashes now? Is it the same as before?

Tom while your here could you fix it so I have a batting average? I have over 3 submissions but my Batting average displays as N/A

And yes Ive tried pming various people and making a thread etc.

Nice. I am probably wasting my time doing this cuz I really don't know how this will affect me...

Great, thanks!

Wow, this is amazing! Thanks very much to Tom and the NG staff!

P.S If only this had been around during the Decline days...

Wait, so, I'm kind of lost on this whole program.

Let's say I enable Rev Share (which I just did).

Does this mean that I get paid for the ads on my page?
And whenever someone views one of my flashes, I will get money as well?
Or do I only get paid if they click the ad that's on my page/flash?

Ah, it's a lot more clear coming from an "unactivated" account's perspective (see image). We just set TropicalParadise up for this and you can see it's fairly obvious:

Just an FYI post

How do you set up the rev share? I've added my address and stuff (only thing to add was the paypal address), but I don't have any of the fancy graphs to play with D:

... :P

On a side note, wouldn't it be an idea to allow people to include ads in the RSS feeds to their music & flash?

Thanks ^_^

Are you guys worried that this will spawn even more swarms of Mario parodies?

The RSS feeds are FOR your music and flash.

I meant as an additional source of income for the revshare ...

Great!

Looking forward to quitting everything i'm doing to dedicate myself to music 24/7 :D!

Most of the potential is for Flash and music guys, but the opportunity is open to everyone at the moment.

Tom you're forgetting the most important part of the art triangle, the writers. Imagine it... Users creating multi chapter stories on their pages, each with another twist and turn. Sure you'll have those who'll bring out the same old tired story, but among those will be gems. Gems that will gleam so bright that others who didn't recognize the sight before, see it in a new light. Not only will Newgrounds be known for their great Animators and Musicians, but their very intriguing writers!

Of course that's just my opinion, heh.

So does this mean I should re-enable the ads? Yah I had ads disabled so sue me, but they slow my computer down, give it a break it's over 6 years old still gots the crappy Pentium 4.

I guess I could just allow the ad scripts to run and then just AdBlock the ones that would slow my PC down. Yah thats right ADS slow my computer down, if you really want me to run all the ads send me a new computer, or maybe visit my page now so I can get some of that ad monies.

Out of curiosity, how does this work for collabs and joint projects?

Is the revenue split between all the people who are listed in the submission's information?

For example, http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/48 4931

How would any revenue be split between Luis and BoMToons?

Will there be an option for the main submitter to set a ratio? So that people who did more for a submission get a greater reward than people who did less?
