FlashAds revenue center no ad views

[davidgilbert]

I am getting a weird bug with Flash Ads. My latest game Fruit Slicer does not show any ad impressions, but it has 147 views. I realize that ad impressions might not be 1-1 with ad views but I would think that I would have at least a few ad impressions by now.

When I had submitted previous games, I remembered a video playing, and then clicking the play button, but now it just displays a play button with what looks like an ad in it, if that makes any difference.

When I test it, it indicates that ads are working, and under project management it says status: Approved under the Ad Status panel. Here is the code that I have been using to get the ads to go:

import com.newgrounds.*;
import com.newgrounds.components.*;

private var _flashAd:FlashAd;

public function FruitSlicer() {
	flash.system.Security.allowDomain("*");
	API.addEventListener(APIEvent.API_CONNECTED, onAPIConnected);
	API.connect(root,"API ID", "Encryption Key");
}
function onAPIConnected(event:APIEvent):void {
       if(event.success) {
               trace("The API is connected and ready to use!");
    	} else {
       	       trace("Error connecting to the API: " + event.error);
   	}
	_flashAd = new FlashAd();
	_flashAd.showPlayButton = true;
	_flashAd.x = 275 -(_flashAd.width * 0.5);
	_flashAd.y = 200 -(_flashAd.height * 0.5);
	addChild(_flashAd);
	addChild(_flashAd.playButton);
	_flashAd.playButton.x += _flashAd.x;
	_flashAd.playButton.y += _flashAd.y;
	_flashAd.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, adFinished);
}
public function adFinished(event:Event):void { 
	removeChild(_flashAd.playButton);
	_flashAd.removeEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, adFinished);
        // start game
}

Have they changed the implementation of ads on newgrounds, or does it just take time to show ad impressions?
Here is a link to my game as well: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/638162

Well, it looks like I have 17 ad impressions, all today. It seems odd, because Fruit Popper has 2,623 views, but it has 2,730 ad impressions. So I guess its working somewhat.

Same problem here.

I'm having the same problem with my latest game "Recharge". Over 1000 views. It's not showing on my stats even.

Send a PM to liljim, but it should be updating just fine even if you don't see it.

Basically it's just because your game is not getting much traffic. We pull stats by month, and your game has to have gotten at least 1000 views or made at least a penny in that month to show any stats. So what has happened, in your case, is that you HAVE over 1000 views, but they are split up between April and May,

For ads to really make any impact, you really have to get your game on more portals and maximize your exposure.
