Before I go into detail ..........  I know the site gets 'Paid' to have sponsored ads but ...... does the site get 'Paid' for the amount of 'Click-threws' it generates with each sponsor HuhHuhHuh

Have Fun

We just get paid for clicks.

OK ..............

How about having a Weekly / Monthly ( though I think weekly would be better.....  more instant  ) clicking competition ..........

Who ever clicks-threw to the most sites in the period gets a prize  ... 25 free moves / 1000 MD's  ..... Probably graded the highest 1 - 10th ( gives a bit of extra competition ..... and if we wern't competitors we wouldn''t be here)

You could either have all the 'Clickable' sites in a list or randomly  spread throughout the site.

A 'Leader Board' might be a could idea to give players an extra incentive to get onto it ( a picture / list is worth a thousand words ) . If two or more players are on the same number of clicks the one who clicked first is on top.

Benefits

1) Additional revenue to the site.
2) 'Free Players' , after they have used up there 250 moves have another way of getting MD's / Moves AND generate additional revenue you wouldn't normally get.

Downside

1) Depending when you start / reset the clock for each period, international player may be at a disadvantage.  


If you need an idea how this could work take a look at

If you join then look at the 'Top Clicker Contest' you'll see what I mean. ( and this isn't a 'Plug' for me ..... you can de-register as soon as you've had a look )

Hope this gives you another set of ideas.

Have Fun

OK .... Call me a dumb blond ( And I aplogise to ANY and ALL blonds who may read this ) .... But .... Sticking with one supplier of ads tends to limit the options.

Unless Eric has has a contract to 'Exclusivly' use Google ads ONLY then there is going to be a severe cash flow problem. If there is no exclusivity arraingment then he is free to take ads from who /whom  he pleases.

There are a lot  of smaller companies out ther in 'Cyber space' that are itching to get promoted.

Have Fun

I'm currently using three ad providers: Google, CPX Interactive, and Burst Direct.  Google pays more by far...and I'm dropping the other two soon.  I'm not allowed to mention the google ads at all, which is unfortunate.  If anyone has any ideas for other ad providers, please let me know.
