How to make money from a browser game

    Hy everybody,

    I can say that I'm new here, and I have a question. I have some browser games, one of them is already online and the others are still under construction.
    I am using AdSense for some money, but I want to know some other ideas for earning money.
    I don't say that I want 1k$/day, of course, I'm realistic and I know that I do not have enough traffic for that sum.

    I am waiting for your answers.

    Thanks,
    Daniel Rosca

    If your website is a browser game, then your ads will also be for other games and you'll only make pennies from them. The way I see it ads are better suited for websites with real content.

    A better alternative would be CPA advertising. I use CPAlead on my game (kingsoflegend.com in case you want to see how it's implemented). Players fill out surveys and get in-game rewards for this. Running their offers doesn't require any time on your part since everything is done automatically (after you install their scripts, of course).

    Another option is to have players make credit card/paypal purchases for in-game rewards.

    You have some good ideas, I like them, but I also have a question.
    I'm now registered on you game and I saw your ways to generate some money, for this paypal implementation I have some questions. I saw that at paypal website it displays the user ID or something like this. I really don't know to do this because i was using paypal just for transfers. If is something do to like a script, please just explain me a bit about it and I can solve also this problem. (cracing.org my game, but now it has just romanian version, after 1st january it will have also English version)

    Thanks,
    Daniel Rosca

    Hey man, you could always use adsense, but it would be hard to make $1k/day. Also, I just wanted to let you know that when I went to cracing.org, I got a 'Address not found' error.

    Yes I know that is down now, I closed the server for some hours for an update.

    I am already using AdSense but I have arround $200/mo. I don`t want $1k/day, but let's say that $30-50/day should be OK if I can earn.

    First of all you need a paypal business account to accept website payments.

    They have a nice tool called the Instant Payment Notification that calls a script on your website when a payment is made. I'm not going into more details about this since you can google it to get all the info you need.

    To pass the item name and in-game user id to PayPal I added the following to the button code paypal gave me:
    <input type='hidden' name='item_name' value='your_item_name|user_id'>

    I would indeed not post advertisements for the competition on your site. Donation packs (with ingame benefits), or premium items are a good model.

    Oh, and if it is textbased stuff, consider registering on webmasters.webgamefavorites.com

    In the worst case, you got a free link.

    Call me selffished, but i rather play a browsergame that the USERS are making money as well, not just only the admin ! It's just fair, since we are the people who get distracted and spammed by Ads !
    I hardly recommend anyone Anno1777.NET , its the first BrowserGame ever that allows us to exchange in-game Money for REAL MONEY. (10 Euro Cashout on Paypal - 25% processing)

    i personally love browsergames , but this is by far , hands down, the best and complexed game i ever played.


    (Disclaimer: The Link anno1777.net is a UserProject. You'll need an invitation to play Anno1777 , on anno1777.net is a invitation Link Rotator running, 24/7 . Ready and waiting for your Sign Up requests, see you on the Battlefields , SLAVES !!! Muuhahaha


    HAPPY HALLOWEEN
