			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Honestly, it is it impossible to understand how Epassporte could live so long taking such a low commission. We do not know what let them make their fortune and what they are going to do. Still we suppose two variants:</p>
<p>-         to get enough shady money, and then cheating everyone;</p>
<p>-         thanks to low commission to get shady money, and then raise commission.</p>
<p>Fortunately, Epassporte chose the second way. Of course, it is also hardly pleasant. But if they cheat us it would have been worst of all.))<span id="more-937"></span></p>
<p>Early commission was $2 per transaction (no matter the sum of money). Since 2010 it costs $3 per transaction. The other rates are still the same but probably will go up periodically.</p>
<p>For example, Payoneer takes $3+1% per transaction and it is not going to deflate commission.</p>
<p>Now we have to pay just a little bit more to get our own money. Overall, let us be happy that nobody was cheated.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before starting new business, wise people try to count how much money they can earn and how much efforts it will take. The casual games market is the new kind of business for many of you, and we decided to adjust some data from this market to facilitate your decision-making whether to start it or not.<span id="more-579"></span></p>
<p>It is necessary to make some <strong>important stipulations</strong> concerning the given table:</p>
<ul>
<li>Figures are taken from a website which uses Google AdSense besides casual games affiliate programs as a way of monetization, and consequently the percentage of downloads is small &#8211; only about 30%. The unchecked data says that if AdSense is removed and a site is used only for games downloading, this percentage can be 2 times higher, i.e. 60 %.</li>
<li>The exact downloads amount is also hard to count, because some percentage (approximately +5%-10%) comes from online games (they also will be available on <a title="Zamango: earn cash with our content!" href="http://www.zamango.com/" target="_self">Zamango</a> website soon);</li>
<li>It is hard to count something from the <a title="BigFishGames’ affiliate program – overview" href="http://www.zamango.com/bigfishgames-partner-affiliation-program-overview.html" target="_self">BigFishGames</a> affiliate program, because we only have the registered users and received money statistics. For Russian market the figures are approximate and are not supported by any data;</li>
<li>bounce rate on English site is approximately 41 %, on Russian – 47 %. Consequently, if these values are lower, other figures will be higher;</li>
<li>Also earnings figures are not absolutely correct, because there are constant changes on the market, for example the games price on the English-speaking market has fallen from 20 dollars to 7, plus crisis and CPM decrease… But this fault is not very big, within the admissible limits <img src='http://www.zamango.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> ;</li>
<li> Such small uploads convert in sales shows that a part of traffic goes to AdSense, a part to <a title="BigFishGames’ affiliate program – overview" href="http://www.zamango.com/bigfishgames-partner-affiliation-program-overview.html" target="_self">BigFishGames</a> and as a result we consider only sales from <a title="Russian affiliate program GameBoss - overview" href="http://www.zamango.com/gameboss-affiliate-program.html" target="_self">GameBoss</a> for Russian-speaking market and sales from <a title="Reflexive's affiliate program - overview" href="http://www.zamango.com/reflexives-affiliate-program-overview-part-1.html" target="_self">Reflexive</a> for English-speaking.</li>
</ul>
<p>If we take a look at games websites presented in the Internet now, and count their approximate <strong>daily traffic</strong>, we see the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>the mid-level website with games on Russian-speaking market have 5 000 &#8211; 10 000 unique visits a day, famous websites &#8211; 50 000 &#8211; 100 000;</li>
<li>on the English-speaking market the average site has approximately 10 000-30 000 unique visits a day, and “giants” get 100 000-200 000.</li>
</ul>
<p>As you may understand, this difference is caused by the quantity of English-speaking and Russian-speaking users in the Internet. Herewith the website promotion on both markets will take similar efforts, and the results will be different. Besides, you should work hard to have 5 000 unique visits on Russian website and 15 000 on English.</p>
<p>Here is a <strong>table with data</strong>, as an example there were taken 2 casual games websites with average attendance according to language zones (all figures are given for a period of one day):</p>
