Want to use CPMStar?

Hi All,

Just thought i'd let you all know that I've recently been accepted as a sponsor by CPMStar

So if anybody wants CPMStar ads in their game rather than Mochi, please let me know and I'll set it up on my account (developers aren't able to add CPMStar ads to their game unless it's been sponsored by a CPMStar approved sponsor).

Pros
==========
You typically get a higher eCPM from CPMStar
Payment threshold is $50 ($100 on Mochi)
Ads are all gaming related which normally means more clicks on the ads
More control over ads

Cons
==========
Game reports are not as good on CPMStar and pulling reports is a bit slow (you can still use Mochi tracking though)
You can't split the ad revenue between more than 1 person

Another thing to consider is that I will receive 15% of the ad revenue and I won't be able to give this back to you as it will be difficult for me to tell what your game has earnt! HOWEVER this won't affect your share of the ad revenue. Here's a quick comparison on revenue split between Mochi and CPMStar:-

Mochi
Mochi - 40%
Publisher - 10% (arcade site assuming they're a Mochi affiliate. If not the share goes back to Mochi)
Developer - 50%

CPMStar
CPMStar - 35%
Sponsor - 15%
Developer - 50%

If ofcourse your game is a raging success I will try and work this out with you.

All I ask is that you provide a link back to my arcade site (Please login to see this link.) somewhere on the main menu. I only ask this as part of the conditions of me being approved is that I need to increase my traffic volumes pretty quickly!

Many Thanks,

Steve

A good article on the benefits of CPMStar over Mochi. It's from a sponsors perspective but still some valid points.

Trouble is that I like to use Mochi's distribution service and to get that you have to agree to it for all your games.

I typically release my CPMStar versions and then 2 weeks later upload it to Mochi for distribution.

Looking forward to it Fano

Good to hear Ricky

@ Jacob: I think that Mochi would probably not approve it. I haven't tried it but I cant see why they would approve it.

Sorry Looki! I should have mentioned that you made the extension

Would you be able to send me the new version?

Cheers,

Steve

I'll ask Looki to provide the extension to anyone who decides to take me up on this offer. Or if he is happy for me to send it I will.

Couple of things I forgot to mention... I said above that CPMStar pay when you go above $50. This isn't strictly true (although it does say it in their terms of agreement). They do in fact pay you pretty much any amount that you've earned in the whole month. For instance I just received $14.10 for the month of April.

The other thing that I forgot to mention is that I may sponsor a few games myself so PM me if you would like me to have a look at your game. My absolute max at the moment is $200 so don't expect any big money bids from me until my arcade site takes off!

Thanks,

Steve

Just good games with decent graphics Fano

Don't worry Fano! I think its unfair to compare most people to Hayo!

Fano raised a good point to me by PM. I won't be vetting any games that wish to use CPMStar. It's free for you to use, just contact me so I can set it up.

Thanks,

Steve
