    I have quality traffic source from flash gaming sites, how can i earn something with it? What would work best with it? I've tried some game download campaigns through affiliate networks, but i doesn't really work (not as it should). Anybody knows some affiliate programs that i could try?

    flash/video ads from google adsense is the best way , also could try contextual ads and pop up ads

    I have traffic, but i don't have a webpage for it (at least not yet). I was thinking more in affiliate direction. Some online game, that pays for referrals maybe ...

    this might sound stupid (my apologies as I am new to the board), but how can you have traffic but not have a webpage for it...where is the traffic now?

    There are many sources of web traffic, owning a web page is only one of them.

    Ads within the game, like Mochi or Newgrounds ads could work.

    I think that's not it ...
    I had campaign converting 15%, but after a few days CR dropped below 1% ... i think that happened because of scrubbing. Same experiences with other traffic sources also ... looks like advertisers are just to greedy ... can anybody recommend an aff. network, that has offers(preferably game offers) that doesn't scrub?

    Well it’s the unsavory practice of the advertisers and affiliate networks skimming leads off the top and short changing us hard working affiliates that are marketing the offers.
