How much do you earn with API?

[PapaLongLegs]

Those ads that you can stick on your preloader. Generally how much do they rake in?

Is it worth all the hassle of installing them and what are the chances of earning anything above zero from them?

Thanks in advance guys!

Depends how many people watch (and click) them. There's technically no limit on how much you can earn from them, but even the most popular artists don't usually get more than about $50 every few months or so (you only earn anything at all once you hit the $50 mark; only then will a cheque be sent to you).

Basically: the better the flash is, and the more popular you are, the more money you can make. Don't expect to retire early or anything, though; most people only earn a couple of bucks a month or less.

Precise answer.

Yes I think it is worth installing them since it's not that much trouble. But indeed, if you really wanna get some money from them, you gotta have an award winning movie or something at least. Otherwise it'll barely bring in any cash.

Another way to get some attention would perhaps be to pick a sensitive subject for your flash animation. Like the war in Iraq or something ;)
