1. arcadevine.com: Stayed PR 2, no update for it. Little disappointing as I was expecting an increase, but anyway.

2. arcadeset.com: Downgraded to PR 1 in this update, was PR 2 before. Very upset about it, do not understand the reason behind its downgrade.

3. playdressupgirl.com: Stayed PR 1, again no update.

4. celebrityon.com: Stayed PR 0 in this update, too!

7. drivecargames.com: Updated to PR 1, was PR 0.

8. towerdefensegamer.com: New website only few days old, so still PR N/A.

You are eagerly waiting for this – yes, Google finally updated the PageRank toolbar today! You will be able to see the changes in the top green PageRank toolbar of Google, if you have already installed it. Most of my website gained PR while some stayed same.

1. arcadevine.com: Updated to PR 2, it was PR 1 before. Many of the inner pages now have PR 1. I have not checked all the inner pages, but at least 7-8 inner pages now have PR 1. Anyway, I was expecting a PR 3 for arcadevine, but I’m ok with this update.

2. arcadeset.com: The website is only 4-5 months old, but it jumped from PR 0 to PR 2 in this update. I’m quite happy with this update.

3. playdressupgirl.com: Expecting PR 2 in this update, but it received PR 1 (PR 0 before).

4. celebrityon.com: It was PR 0 before and it stays PR 0 in this…

In my previous post I wrote about MochiCoins and how the game developers are going to earn more money by this new development. At that time Mochi did not announce any share for the publishers, but they told that they might come up with a suitable agreement between developers and publisher so that these games could be distributed well. Now, few days ago Mochi came up with their revenue share model for MochiCoins enabled games. The main features can be summarized as follows:

Publishers: A publisher will earn 10% of the 1st total funding transaction by a user from the website. If the same publisher buys again later at any other website publishers will get nothing. Also, publishers will get their share only if the user buys coins using a credit card or PayPal account. Publishers are not eligible for any other payment methods. Publisher can earn 10% extra if the user spends…

Arcade website owners always look for publisher networks to join so that they can earn some money by showing advertisements on their websites. If you have a flash gaming website and want to earn some money you can consider joining the publisher networks below. Some publisher networks need you to have some amount of traffic before you can join them, but most are free to join. You should read the terms and conditions for each of the publisher network before you decide to join them as all of them has some specific requirements and if your website does not comply to their terms and conditions then you cannot join those networks. I compiled the following list of networks specifically for arcade website owners, but many of them accept almost any type of website. So if you have websites other than a flash gaming site you can still consider them. Some…

Few months ago I had a strange problem in my arcade gaming website Arcadevine. One day I was browsing my High Score Games website and accidentally found that the game play count of one game was suddenly increased by thousands in a matter of few seconds. I was very surprised because there was no traffic surge at that particular game page. I checked my server logs and found that my website received very little traffic at that time.

He also has no clue of the problem. Anyway, I forgot about the incident until I saw the reoccurrence of the same problem again in a different game. I was confirmed that there must be some problem with the script. I checked all…
