I am a developer, still thinking that why still every game is not from mochiads are they not earning well? Insight is needed or one to one comparison will be gr8 the comparison of non mochiads games and mochiads injected games, Hi Emanuele

You only made $10k on 10 games. Not counting the amount of time spent submitting these games to portals an implementing various APIs, if each game took a little over a week to develop, you'd have earned $20/hr gross. Here in Canada, you can't hire a good Flash programmer for less than $50/hr freelance - most Flash guys i know are at $75/hr. It makes more sense to freelance or to do full-time Flash work with a company than to mess around with this rev-share stuff. Here's how my own experiment is going (keep in mind that i'm not tracking the amount of time spent submitting games to portals either): http://www.untoldentertainment.com/blog/feature-articles/pimp-my-game/ i’m with Nick.
