Back in 1995, Gary Rosenzweig published some of the world’s first web-based games. Some of his early games as well as more than 100 created by CleverMedia, the company he later founded, are available at GameScene.com.”Even in those early days, it was clear to us that web advertising was the best way to earn money from our content,” says Gary. Revenue from ads offered him creative and financial freedom to be both a game developer and publisher. But the early ad banner market was volatile and fluctuated constantly. It wasn’t until he joined the AdSense program in August 2003 that Gary was able to get consistent high-level performance from advertising.”AdSense not only performs better than banner ads, but is also much better for site visitors,” Gary notes. “The text ads and high-quality display ads used by Google were a far better experience than the pop-ups, pop-unders and interstitial ads still used today by our competitors.”At GameScene.com, CleverMedia uses 160×600 wide skyscrapers next to the games, and 300×250 medium rectangles on instructions pages. Gary encourages other publishers to test different ad formats and placements on their own sites, especially as their users grow and change. Having non-obtrusive but relevant advertising on high-traffic pages provides the revenue CleverMedia needs to keep making innovative web games.Have your own success story to share? We’d love to hear from you.Posted by Sunil Subhedar - AdSense Publisher Support
