I have been working with arcades for a few years now. In the last year I mananged to hit $XX,XXX a month using your average arcade script.
I have seen that a lot of people think that earning BIG figured sums with arcades is only possible to do so with YPN (which is the easiest way, but probably the riskiest). However I KNOW with the right settings and research Adengage and/or Adsense can provide the same result. Once you are able to get a decent amount per click on your arcades, the hardest thing from there is getting a large amount of quality arcade traffic. Anyone can earn $XXX with arcades, by using your average banner exchange site, stumbleupons or myspace marketing. However if you WANT to move on from making $XXX/month and achieve the FIVE FIGURE goal, you really need to signup with a program that can give you a large amount of quality traffic for cheap. I have found the best way to get this traffic is by directly contacting popular arcade sites or using adwords.com (you need to be pretty skilled in this area to get a good result.) Or probably the easiest method is by using gamesbannernet. Just remember the first month is always the hardest, but if you test and invest say $1000, and you find the right formula, from there on in you can just duplicate the same process and its all automated from there! You don't need to spend endless hours on research. Or have a lot of money to start with. The one mistake a lot of people do just become with earning $xxx, then they lose momentum. Once you have the right formula throw everything you have at it! You wont regret it! If you have any more questions or want more details, just PM me. -Thanks |

Thank-you for the advise! If you don't mind me asking, what arcade(s) do you operate? Moreover, is it just one or multiple arcades that are deriving you a $XX,XXX monthly earning?

I prefer to keep my arcade url private I need to keep some secrets to myself
![]() In regards to your second question. I did this with one arcade. HOWEVER multiple arcades will work just as well, and you get to spread the risk. At the moment I'm in the middle of testing CPA networks for a way to monetize my arcades. So I can use both ppc and cpa on the same site, hopefully I can see an increase! |

- My target CPM for me was over $10.
-Here is proof of the last ten days or so ![]() -Oh and if you want to use Welcome to AdWords dont forget to use the geographical option! English speaking paying countries pay a lot more in terms of clicks. And probably convert better with CPA if you want to move to that later. - Gamesbannernet is a more, "contact us and we will discuss" company. I think you can also signup at Games Banner Network |

Exactly Fusion!
It is pretty easy to tell whether your arcade will be a big hit or not, after maybe a week of traffic. Using this formula: Revenue Earnt / Number of Uniques = More than 0.05 If you manage to get this, then GO GO GO! Buy traffic! You will make a profit from every $1 you put in! |

Hi GrandArcade,
I am not prepared to write an essay or hold your hand along the way to make a large amount of money, if thats what you expect. I gave people the option to PM if they had any specific questions/queries. If you have a specific question PM me. |
