One account can have any number of apps. If you're going to be blackhatting, you might want to spread them out a bit though

Alright, got everything set up and documented. You can check it out at scriptamp.com

This can be useful for others how not to get rejected
i am attaching the email i received for my app which was rejected.
my games site is

@rachusrs: Yes, they will try to click every link in your app. They'll go several pages deep if they can. But the good news: in my experience they only review it once unless it's reported make your app a little more simple, submit, and once approved, enable your real (full) app, the blackhat way

fucking hell these games hay..... this game had me playing for like 15 mins..... thanks to you rachusrs i wasted 15 mins of my life trying to find objects in random rooms! lol

By the way, is anyone having trouble with any double posting of apps.... Ive found a game and it has already been uploaded by someone else....

I only want to write clickable text in the profil page that says "check out this game" for example. A click on this text links to the canvas page!

Hope someone can help me!

Many thanks in advance my friends!

Do you mean you wish to link directly to the app, like "Try this app"?

If so, the code is like so:

Code:

<a href="http://profile.myspace.com/Modules/Applications/Pages/Canvas.aspx?appId=xxxxxx">Check out my app!</a>

Just replace the xxxxxx with your appID, which can be found in the address bar when you view the canvas of your app.

Wow you've already sold some that's cool.

Yup! The guys (and girl) I sold it to were one-on-one marketing through AIM. Longer term relationships I've developed and sold a few things to :P

Lowered it because I don't expect most people to pay that much, especially when I just set up the affiliate entry for it.

Hopefully it all works out!

For anyone having difficulties getting an APP going, or simply Don't have a clue how to begin, I've posted a BASIC Myspace APP Creation TUT in the downloads Section.

Don't buy from weaselstomp. I started this thread so that this information could be free, not so people could make a profit from MY idea. I am working on putting together a free guide that will include everything that weasel is offering for a price. I did not list this method so that everyone could make money from it.

I will be listing ALL code that I use for free so that anyone can have it. Don't waste your $37!!

I'm not promoting it here, and it's got a bunch beyond what you've suggested. I'm submitting my scripts and guide to admins for approval in the BST section, I'm not trying to hijack this thread. Mjordan and I just got a little off topic for a moment, sorry. In fact, when I pm'd OsiriX I mentioned that the thread wasn't the place for those kinds of q's.

Sorry if this hurts your sells weaselstomp, but for those of you that are wanting to try this, just know that this WILL NOT make you a fast dollar. Or a good amount for that much. Now if you work hard, very hard, and can some how get a good app that is very popular (10k installs or more) then it will make you decent long term money.

I've had 8 apps up for over a week now and have made $1.10 lol. My apps are fine, I have some that should be very popular but they just aren't getting many views. Unless you have something like the guitar hero app or mobster and stuff like that then I truthfully don't think you'll make that much.

Just my $0.02

I probably have about 150-200 installs spread out over 8 games.

OK, i got 2 apps approved and when I created them i chose "inline flash" and uploaded the file.

My question is now, how can I add adsense ads to it? Can I now iframe it to my domain and add the ads there without having to go back through the approval process?

I ask because I had originally iframed the flash app and it was denied.

Or is there another way to add ads to the app without iframing?

Any help is appreciated b/c now i have 2 apps just sitting there.

Thanks

Lol what?

this thread has died ? how are things goinf 4 you know ?

good way to earn. .can you say me more tips..

@csebastian: not bad, I have published at 24 apps now (took 3-10 minutes each to make), and have close to 60,000 installs total. I've been mixing up what I promote, making my own ads to grab the users attention (making the ad blink seems to work real good!) but the results haven't been bad! I'm also working on creating a "wrapper" to show my ads in the flash game at start, and periodically throughout the game, using the Flash SWF import functionality Hopefully that will help conversions!

hey guys what mean word "app" ?

It's an application (like a wordpress widget) within MySpace. Facebook has them too. They're usually surveys, games, or small tools that can be accessed directly from MySpace.

My mistake it is working fine now i think there was a delay in sending

Quick update to this thread. DO NOT USE ADSENSE!! You will get banned and that is not fun. I've tested several different ad networks and have found that LinkFireAds is the best at monetizing this traffic. Plus they pay weekly no matter how much you earn with them. Good Luck!

And it needs to be fun and addicting. You need experience for that.

Why would you get banned for this? How does it violate their TOS? I've had adsense on mine for like half a year, even went through an account inspection and they didn't say anything about it.

You may be fine with adsense, but for me I think it had to do with quality. With adsense if your quality is not top notch (which means ctr and conversions for the advertiser) they will just ban your account, no questions asked. I had a high number of impressions and a low ctr, even by content network standards. I had an issue too with getting adsense to properly target ads to my visitors since there was not really any content to spider. I definitely wasn't doing anything shady or blackhat, and I tried to file an appeal with google to no avail.

My point here is be careful, because an adsense account is a valuable thing to waste. They ban instantly and its nearly impossible to get back in once you're out.

Also, why take a risk with your AdSense account when you don't have to? There are other networks out there that specialize in this sort of traffic and you will get paid better in the long run. I would definitely reserve my adsense account for content sites only.
