people like moochi ads only accept games, what they dont realize however is that movies get some of the most veiws.

just look at metal gear awsome 2

I agree, just because an animation is not as interactive as a game, doesn't mean that they are not as enjoyable!

It's like watching TV instead of playing video games, both are just as enjoyable.

This is great. Everyone wins! Hooray for Ads and good old cash. :)

Bling Bling

There should be a confirmation to whether or not the flash was sucsessfully added to the API.
I have the feeling mine is not. :X

The as3 API seems to be missing the com folder with the Newgrounds_Global class.

Sweet to see this go public though. I fully endorse this service ^_^

Can we apply these ads to already submitted flash works? i.e. recently submitted animation which we might want to earn money from without resubmitting...

Sorry for the noobish question, I couldn't seem to find this out after looking through the info page thingy.

owen

Really, does anyone have any rough estimates of how much income we can expect for so many views?

It's working :), just follow the tutorial and you'll find out, this is fucking awesome tom :)

Ahh, I checked the settings and just enabled flash ads.
How long does it take for an approval?

you have to put the code into ur flash, then just upload the flash again.
then you can see how much views you have, I have 3 now but didn't made any money :(

Yes, I already did yesterday; I just forgot about enabling the flash ads.

since neither this nor mochi are contract deals would i be allowed to add both (to one submission) by, for example adding one in the preloader and one in between levels?
or would that be cheaing? :~(

This is awesome, but what will the pay be vs Mochiads?

Unless one or the other specifies that you can't have another advertising deal in your piece, then knock yourself out. Of course, you need to submit your game to Mochi, and I'm SURE they'll accept your game if the first thing they see is a huge NEWGROUNDS ADVERTS preloader...

Hey, why stop there? Why not get sponsorships from real companies to put thier name in your flash as part of the texture. Go down to your local stores and get cash for logos. Rent out every available surface! Do it! Do it in the name of capitalism!

hey it says in big letters on the mochi website that since they don't use a contract we're allowed to use other sites as well. i was just wondering what tomFulp would have to say about it ... but i guess mochi wouldn't be too happpy about me using another direct competitor so ...

I love how you're always so excited about Newgrounds-related stuff that you always put exclamation marks!

Also, how come PsychoGoldfish gets to do all those things to Newgrounds? I could easily do it too!

This sounds awesome! I'm gonna try it out for my new tut coz thats probably my best submission lol

At first when I looked at this thread I could have sworn it said AIDS TRY THEM, and I was like WTF and then opened it and it was this. What a relief, this looks like a really cool idea. I might do something with these ads, only when I get a video or a game worth viewing ^_^

you should have a hawian punch fountain that would be so awesome.

I guess it depends on your type of game :P $1,000 for a game which scores 1,000,000 - odd views is something you could make less-riskily from a sponsor in many cases.

I'll probably use these for any smaller games. I'll stick with solid sponsorships for anything I spend a huge amount of time on, though.

Wow, this is cool. Its on my animation for beginners submission. Its so cool telling you the version!

I just wanted to pipe in and say that in-game ads and sponsorships are NOT mutually exclusive. You can get them both! This goes for any in-game advertising network you wish to use. You just have to make sure you negotiate the exact terms with your sponsor.

And as a shameless plug, as always, we can help you with this and many other sponsorship/licensing related issues at FlashGameLicense.com

I added together all my views from every solo submission i have submitted (13 of them)
Divided that by 1000
Then multiplied it by 0.30

I discovered that I would have earned $7.91
haha!!

So I guess it only truely worth it if you knew your submission was going to be gaining lots of attention. Such as if it's part of a successful series.

Why would you do that?

To see how much he would get.
Since it was about 0.30/1000 views.

Don't worry, I forgot to do that the first time I tried too.
So I came out with like $7900 or something like that.
I was like wtf!?!?

I misread the title of this thread.. At first I thought you were going to pay us to make flash ads.. and I was like heck yeah! Then I read the thread.. Oh well, it is a great idea and I hope it earns everyone involved much money...
