You need around 2000 visitors a day with a CTR of around 4% to make $30 a day. My niche game site gets about 1500 unique visitors a day and I'm making approx. $20-$25 a day with Adsense. It is possible, but I think it's easier if you find a niche within the arcade/game niche.
For a general arcade site,,,,,,,What is the usual pay for each click(adsense)? and the highest pay for each click(adsense)?
hmmm!! let say if I had 1000 clicks x 0.05 = $50 right?? We can still earn much if We had lots of traffic to the site
Just targeting every type of game than yes it is highly saturated but if you are targeting a specific type of games then I think there is still SOME space.
So,today i'm launching my new game: Cake Quest it's an action/adventure/puzzle game where the objective is to get all the cakes! To Play It:http://www.playhitgames.com/index.ph...me&gameid=1878 File Where .swf to download is: http://playhitgames.com/cakequest.swf To Download the game+ image files i have put them in a zip folder, download it at: http://playhitgames.com/cakequest.zip Description: You can only run when you have flatulence power! So make sure to eat lots of fatty foods first. Also as we all know, running will make you lose weight. Being skinny, you can jump higher and walk faster. Being fat, you'll be able to bash through walls/enemies/barriers/boxes etc.
free things bring you free money only on dreams .... on other words ... you dont invest nothing you will earn absolute nothing .... Until now I invested on my two arcade sites arround $800-$1200 and things count on becouse I didnt finished will all those stuffs wich I need on them
I guess everyone now knows with the amount of views this thread is getting just how hot this niche is
It is a popular niche...and I think to succeed, webmasters especially new webmasters with brand new sites need to target a specific area and learn a little SEO to get anywhere and earn some decent money. Just throwing a site up with an arcade script and the keyword 'free flash games' just won't cut it, but yet we see this happening quite often.
I have a few small arcade sites, and am just getting started in the niche (about 3 months or so). Can anyone recommend anything that I can use to supplement my adsense income on these sites? What ad networks work well for arcade sites? I have been thinking about trying TLA, but I have not had very good luck with them on my other sites (other niches). Adtoll is another one that I looked at, but it's < 100k alexa only. I don't get a ton of traffic, so maybe my only option is adsense right now, but I would like to add something else as well... Any suggestions? Thanks!
There is a list of AdNetworks which will accept game and arcade related sites here: http://www.game-owners.com/f3/list-ad-networks-please-contribute-58.html I haven't personally used them all, however I do know that adsense is one of the main networks used.
