Oh also do I have to set the ads up. That's what it looks like. I only filled out the address thing. I assume that would be on my account preferences somewhere.

I'll look at that later.

just the normal zip code is fine.

Once you have an address on file, your revenue sharing is active and the ads already on your flash/audio/user pages will cut you in.

No way, i just fully grasped the magnitude of this movment. its fantastic, thank you guys so much =) dead set legends =)

My thing dosn't say that I have any sources - not even my user page. I've filled in the payment thing, is there anything else I have to do?
:(

Sorry, I have a feeling I'm missing something obvious, I just can't think what it is...

I think me meant that your avatar isn't a super strong god-like picture of you.

Do any of your current flash have the flash API installed? From what I gather, that's the only way to have retroactive stats. Otherwise, it starts counting up from 0 from the moment you activate. You just have to wait a few days until one of your pages gets 1000 impressions and/or makes some dolla dolla bills (or, uh, centy, centy... coins?)

Make sure you guys put up the FAQ for this soon. I want moneys to.

How silly of me.

I tried, ingredients were from bottom to top:

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.

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.

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.

1) eCPM is the effective CPM, or how much you are making per 1000 impressions. The "e" is there because it isn't a fixed number, it's based on the performance of the ads.

2) eCPMs vary based on how well your ads perform. People with high quality content tend to generate a better eCPM. There are some people on NG who get lots of traffic, but it isn't "high quality" traffic so it generates low earnings.

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

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

At 4/16/09 03:13 PM, AniMetal wrote: What determines "High quality" traffic?

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.

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.

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.
