Realore Studios has developed about 30 games, among which such popular series as games with Jane (Jane’s Zoo, Jane’s Hotel, Jane’s Reality, etc.), which is on the top of world charts. Developers state that they produce only exclusive games and are not involved in mass release. By the way, the company has celebrated its 7th birthday this month.

In December, 2008 Realore Studios has launched IGROMoney affiliate program, which helps to earn money on casual games selling. Now the program is accessible only in Russian, but it is suitable both for beginners and professionals.

To become a partner you need to register in the program, the process of registration is very simple. There are two ways of money earning in IGROMoney program:

1)      After the registration you’ve been given the partner ID; and the unique partner link, for example [click here] is formed. You can place this link on any resource, and if user buys a game through this link, you will receive the deserved reward – 40 rubles (~$1,4). In IGROMoney this way of cooperation is called “for users”. Everything is extremely simple: you don’t need to have any special knowledge; it will be enough to place the link to your blog, social network, etc.

2)      The second way – “for webmasters” – should be examined more closely.

Unlike other affiliate programs, which offer showroom placing through ready Java Script (for example, Alawar), the showroom from IGROMoney is placed on the domain of the second or third level through the addition of new record CNAME. For example, to adjust the domain of the third level games.site.ru with IGROMoney showroom on site.ru, it is necessary to have a games.site.ru CNAME igromoney.ru record. For this purpose you need to refer to your hoster, or if you have an access, to do it yourself. It will take about one day. With ready Zamango Money Extractor plugin it will be faster, more convenient and less problematic, because you don’t have to create any domains of the third level and to register CNAME. If you have chosen the IGROMoney alternative of placing the games, you wouldn’t be able to change your showroom’s appearance, design, etc. The only thing you can do is the editing of top games and the heading of your showroom through the dashboard of the affiliate program.

For those who want to create their own website with Realore games, but don’t want to use ready showroom, XML in Windows-1251 or UTF-8 coding is given. Its processing is your problem, which can be solved if you use Zamango Money Extractor plugin.

There is a bit by bit instruction for users and for experienced webmasters on the site.

After the registration, affiliate is given individual partner number or PID. The Realore company works on the principle of try and buy, i.e. a potential buyer downloads a game and plays first 60 minutes of it for free. After the expiration of this time wrapper blocks the game. To purchase it user needs to send sms and get the activation code.

A partner gets 40 rubles (~$1,4) for each game purchasing. The company promises to make payments automatically at the beginning of every month (from 1 to 5 days), but as a matter of fact the delays of payments are not uncommon. We need to say that there are no limits in payments and they are withdrawn through WebMoney and YandexMoney systems.

The affiliate program has a row of considerable minuses. First, the program is made only for the Russian-language market (Russia, Ukraine, Baltic countries). Second, it has small game base: the total amount is 90 games, unique games (i.e. which are not presented in other Russian partner programs) is 50. However, some games turned out to be successful and are being bought adequately. New games are published not very often, but they appear in the affiliate program on the same day, as on realore.ru. So you can have Realore games “for assortment”.

The IGROMoney affiliate program also gives promo-materials which you can use for users attraction: banners and blocks of games. The choice of banners is poor: 5 sets for five games. Html-code is generated for banner placing on your resource, after you have chosen necessary size and entered a link where the banner leads. Blocks of games are the advertising blocks; their size, color, pictures location, text length, etc. is set by you. As a result you receive html-code, and after its placing on a site you will get such block, for example:

So you should use the affiliate program by Realore as an addition to other Russian programs, for example, to Alawar, GameBoss, TurboGames, because the game base is very small, but there are exclusive games, which are very popular among users. Our Zamango service is made to facilitate you work on collecting games data from different affiliate programs. So register in IGROMoney, download and install our plugin – and games from the leading partner programs will be placed on your resource.

To begin with it is necessary to say that the affiliate program is available in Russian, English and Polish languages now, and the German program is on starting stage. All three different in languages affiliate programs have different content bases and exist independently from each other. So if you decide to join not only Russian, but also others systems, you must be registered in Russian, in Polish and in English programs. It is absolutely inconvenient and takes a lot of time, but this question interests only 1% of affiliates, and the Alawar Company doesn’t think it is necessary to make some efforts for solving this problem.

After successful registration in the partner program you get the PID – the partner identifier. There are two ways of game content placing as a show-window from Alawar on your resource: ready Java-script code which needs to be built in a site, or a XML-file, which processing is completely on your shoulders. Both variants, despite the simplicity of their use, which Alawar states, demand a lot of knowledge, efforts and time. But it is not a problem for Zamangers, because with the help of  Zamango Money Extractor plugin all Alawar games will be automatically published on your resource and all novelties will be available for users.

Also you can see the third variant of showroom placing in the dashboard – Flash. But here we are talking about placing of chosen online game on your site page and not about placing of a showroom with games. I.e. you’ve been given the html-code of a game that can be used on any website, which supports the possibility of flash-object inserting. The link for full version downloading which contains partner’s ID for uploads and purchases recording are specified in html-code, that is why all placed online games work to increase the profit of partner program’s participant.

If you don’t have the possibility to place a show-window, Alawar allows placing banners with your reflink. In banners collection which is available from the dashboard, you can find one that is suitable for your site: there are many banners of different sizes. The banners for new games sets are the bonus for Alawar partners.

So you can earn money from joining the Alawar affiliate program in three ways: by placing of a showroom with all games, by placing of some online games and by banners placing. And judging from the partners’ top you can earn much money, at least the Alawar partners earn more than the GameBoss partners:

The technology of partner’s sales control is similar to the technology used in the GameBoss affiliate program. The unique links, which contain partner’s ID, are formed for games downloading. After downloading, installation and trial time expiration the wrapper blocks a game and suggests buying a key. Key purchase is carried out by SMS, bank remittance, and ecash. For each game purchased by a user from the partner’s resource affiliate gets 50% of the profit (minus billing expenses). On average it is 1,75USD from every activated game. The commission sum for each sold game depends on the way of payment chosen by the user and on the country, where the game was purchased.

The minimum sum of payment varies depending on a way of means output. If you transfer money to a bank account, the minimal sum will be 200USD, for other ways of transfers – 50USD. However, after 3 months of working with Alawar the partner can derive any sum, but after he discusses this question with the support service. Means are derived with the help of the most popular payment systems: WebMoney (Z), ePassporte, bank transfer in rubles or dollars, etc. If all suggested by Alawar ways don’t suit you, you can contact the support service to solve the problem. The Alawar affiliate program is rather flexible and any problem can be resolved through the support service. But you will need some patience because, despite the statement that they consider all questions within 24 hours, the answer sometimes comes after 2-3 days of waiting, and even after a week. How one of the assistants, responsible for the affiliate program, states, all dialogues with partners are personalized, they don’t use the templates. This is true – sometimes employees of the support service forget about even an elementary greeting.

You can receive payments 2 times a months, but only after advance application for the fulfillment of the payment. Besides it is impossible to control real income from game selling, e.g. within a week or a months, because the amount due to you is updated only once a month or will be accessible only after application. The only thing that the affiliate program’s statistics gives us is the amount of downloaded and purchased games. Besides it will be silly of you to hope to receive money right after the application. Payments are 2 and even 3 months late. It happens because, as Alawar states, the aggregators and cellular providers do not send them reports and money for actual sales immediately. Alawar has solved this problem by creating the system which would count every sale from the average data, and after the appropriate report, it would be corrected, plus or minus (if sales were different from the “guessed” average value). The partner receives the same sum of money, but much faster. All corrections details concerning updating will be accessible. But this “guessing” is rather embarrassing.

So you should join the Alawar partner program undoubtedly. One of the reasons is large and daily augmented games base, the second reason is many exclusive games which are not available in other partner programs, e.g. BigFishGames or Reflexive, during the first months, however, these games become very popular among users, and the main thing is that these games are being purchased. Technical realization of a showroom placing is difficult and not available to anyone, but this problem can be easily solved if you use Zamango Money Extractor plugin. All English, Polish and Russian games from Alawar are available in Zamango base; updating and replenishment are made daily.

How does the GameBoss affiliate program work?

In the description of the affiliate program it is said that “Popular resource GameBoss.ru is regularly refilled fresh games base, with the help of which your website will bring the constant income of 1.5$ from one SMS, sent for the game activation.” It is necessary to specify that GameBoss affiliates can receive 40 rubles for each activation since recently, while the sales amount is more than 100, and if you have more than 150 sales, you get 45 rubles for each activated game. But it is necessary to note that the Alawar affiliates get 40 rubles regardless of sold games.

Certainly potential affiliates are worried about how they can receive the earned money. The unique links for the game downloading, which contain affiliate ID, become available after registration in the affiliate program. The user downloads and installs a game with so-called wrapper (the program module), which blocks the game after some time. The game activation is carried out by sending SMS with a code to special number. The activation code includes the partner ID, which link is used for game downloading.

One of the pluses is a way of payment through SMS that is rather convenient for local gamers, because it is not convenient for all to purchase a game with a credit card (as it happens when you buy a game from the BigFishGames, for example). Besides if you join the GameBoss affiliate program you can involve not only Russian users, because sms payments are accepted from Russian, Ukrainian and Kazakh residents, plus electronic payments.

Besides you can earn money by placing the links with your partner ID, which are given in dashboard, on various resources. The user’s browser remembers cookies, which defines your buyer, when he goes to that link. You will receive the commission for each purchase of this user even if he goes to the GameBoss website without your link.

Also it is necessary to consider that the GameBoss affiliate program is multilevel. You can receive 10% of each partner’s, involved by you, income.

So the affiliate has 3 ways to earn money with the GameBoss affiliate program. The partner can decide whether to choose one of them or use all of them. As an argument in favor of GameBoss we site some figures, viz. top partners:

The GameBoss affiliate can receive the money, earned by honest employment, 2 times a month, the minimal payment is 5 USD at the exchange rate of the Bank of Russia at the current date, transactions commission is paid by the partner. GameBoss works with two payment systems: WebMoney (WMZ) and Yandex money.

After your registration in the affiliate program promo-materials for more than 300 games, Russian descriptions, graphic material (icons and screenshots), partner links for games downloading, also banners and commercial module constructor (which can be placed on the websites), become available for you. As to promo materials we can’t say that they are new and varied, but that will be enough to use them for games promotion. Besides there is a possibility to adjust commercial modules where game advertising is set, this is one more way to increase casual games sales from your site.

As to the regular game base updating we can’t say that this is true. First, new games appear absolutely sporadically, sometimes 2 times a week, sometimes 2 times a month. Second, a new game publication is not always announced in affiliate program’s news for some unknown reasons. But this won’t be a problem for Zamangers as Zamango content managers control the GameBoss updating and add all new games to base.

For professionals and programmers there is including all content XML-feed, which can be customized and adjusted for your website: the games collections according to genres, to rating, to different classification, etc.

Herewith after you have adjusted a site one time, you shouldn’t update it manually when a new game is published.

If there is a problem with functioning, you should apply to the support service and hope for the best. Technical support is not ideal, but is quite good: within several days you can get the answer. Also you shouldn’t hope that you can avoid the interaction with the GameBoss support service: when you have read in news that “bilds are updated” you would have to write and ask what was changed and what you should do with it. If you have no patience and do not want to communicate with support service, you can try to find the answers on the GameBoss forum.

Who is the GameBoss affiliate program made for?

First of all the GameBoss affiliate program for games selling is made for those, who begin to earn money with affiliate programs, but  don’t know English well and that is why cannot understand English partner programs and involve English-speaking users.

Also if you want to earn money in the future you should join it, because Russian segment of casual games market is developing rapidly and is rather perspective.

There aren’t many players on it, the traffic fights are not so tough, and as to the low prices for products, a plenty of cracks and warez, all this changes for the better.

However we should note that if you have the base knowledge of English (and online translators can help you), you should pay attention to similar English affiliate programs, for example, BigFishGames or Reflexive. You can earn more there and their content base is larger.

If you have read the article BigFishGames’ affiliation program – Beginning you know that you will have a set of certain tools to attract potential buyers to your site, i.e. to your affiliate account, where they’ll earn money for you forever and ever. Also if you have read the previous article, you know that despite the unity of the BigFishGames’ partner program, you are going to log in into two different administrative panels. For this inconvenience we can adjudge a big minus to the guys from bigfish. Unfortunately, they don’t really care

We are going to start this article with an overview of administrative panel for housewives, i.e. MyGameSpace. You can log in to this panel here [click here]. First of all we have to mention that the person who designed the administrative interface never heard about books on usability even from his closest friends. To perform some basic operations, like checking your statistics, you will have to click buttons of your mouse industriously and wait till all their heavy pages will load up. That’s why we recommend you to bookmark pages that contain interesting statistics in the first place.

Anyway, we’ll describe things as they go. On the admin panel entrance page you can see the information on how many people have already entered their e-mails to BigFishGames. This information is available on this page, in your GameSpace, and nowhere else.

The following image shows what is waiting for you after you get into the admin panel.

We don’t really know why they’ve made such a useless page, however, from it you can go to several other intervening pages, like Game Space Overview and Rewards Overview. If you click Share with friends you’ll find yourself on the Quick Invite page – probably, guys from Bigfish decided that it is enough to have only two Overviews

As you have probably noticed, Rewards overview tab has a top of those lucky fellows, who can easily afford living on a sunny tropical island, cause their income constantly grows. You can compare this screenshot and the table in this article. Pay attention that the difference is only 8 days! So, if you feel that this top is important, you can always find it here.

Talking about the tools designed to attract people, this panel has:

-ability to edit your GameSpace

-ability to see your affiliate ID, which, according to the manual, can be added to any page of BigFishGames’ site – Add Friends to your list by referring people to any page on www.bigfishgames.com and ending the URL with ?afcode=af42de91a547

-ability to get ready links to all major pages of the BigFishGames’ site;

-ability to get banners’ code for BigFishGames itself, and for certain games.

And finally you’ll get access to the spam machine where you can add 1000 e-mails per operation, and 5000 per day. You can find this machine in the My friends tab.

There are two instruments of statistics: statistics of your friends which, by the way, is available only in this admin panel and has many convenient sorting options, and also statistics on your total income.

This admin panel has several other unique features, which can’t be found anywhere else – option that allows to exchange your earned money on various stuff or give your it to the poor (it doesn’t work now). Also you can get two games for free, but you can only choose from the list of five.

Now we are going to tell you about PNP Affiliate Network administrative panel, which can be found here. The difference is obvious, the developer have put the brief information about your income even on the first page. If you click the link “more”, which is situated under the income information, you’ll get to the page which is designed specifically to make you tremble as you see the words CASH GENERATORS. Unfortunately, the idea with trembling have failed and seeing their graphs and tables can easily make you cry… So, it’s better to follow your statistics in MyGameSpace administration panel, cause here it doesn’t have any useful information and details.

However, it is better to take content in this panel: here you can get iframes, content in XML format, links for rss-feeds, and also scripts for your future site. Banners and links are the same as in MyGameSpace panel, but you can’t edit your gamespace from here.

Iframe for your site can be full, or can contain only central and right column.

You can receive rss-feeds on new games, top games, or on games of certain category.

There is an interesting situation with XML: BigFishGames doesn’t simply gives you data in this format, they provide you with classes for parsing this XML, and preset PHP-scripts for making your own site. So you don’t have to hire some fancy professionals to create a new engine, you can polish and use ready scripts.

Summarizing, we want to say, that it is better to use MyGameSpace to check your statistics. But to get all the necessary tools you will have to visit PNP Affiliate Program.

Good luck in your business!

Well then, after you have read general review of the BigFishGames’ partner program, you are dead set on making as much money as you can as fast as possible. To begin with you should create an account. During this simple procedure, remember that you WON’T BE ABLE to change your username, which is used to refer on your partnership page [click here]. That is why you shouldn’t enter any abstract or obscene names there.

Indisputable advantage of the program is official opportunity (unofficial opportunity is usually common) to enter information on how and where you want to get your money after the registration. That means you will have time to think about it before you actually earn something, not to cook a hare before catching him. In addition to that, guys from BigFishGames say that you don’t have to fill in any documents like W-8BEN, or get US tax identification number. You can find out how much you’ve earned from BigFishGames‘ letters.

Next step is to choose one of two possible strategies of earning money:

- you can earn money by selling games to the ultimate customer
- or you can attract under your wing as many affiliates as possible, and you will get 25% of their net earnings

To say that one of them is better than another would be wrong, both are good, but different. You can choose the one you like best.

If you choose to sell games to the ultimate customer, you have two options:

- relax and manage your your game space, like this one [click here], by pressing different buttons, adding games to your top and reviewing them if you have spare minute. Next step is to attract potential buyers on your pseudo-site, witch is a tough job, cause such links usually irritate users and sooner or later you will be expelled from different communities of potential buyers. However, you can leave your pseudo-site alone and post direct bigfish’s link with your affiliate ID added to the URL. The main advantage of this option is that you don’t have to invest anything.

- another thing is creation of your own site, which can be different from thousands of other sites with its unique design. Your site can have its own domain or sub-domain (if you are too mean). Anyway it would be interesting for you to study the toolbox of the BigFishGames’ program.

If you log in here [click here] you can notice that panel of administrator is a little bit different than here [click here]. The first is supposedly more advanced, cause it is designed for average affiliate. The second one is for housewives. Anyway you will have to use both of them, cause some things, like the revenue you got from a certain buyer, can be seen only in MyGameSpace panel (unfortunately, it works while you have less than 500 customers – after that it stops showing the list of friends).

No matter which way of selling games you have chosen, you will always have an opportunity to get clients by adding their e-mails in the list of potential friends and sending them different proposals. If these friends will enter the site of BigFishGames company and will enter their e-mail in the process of downloading the game,  buying it, or playing online – it will be your source of income for the rest of times.

If you choose your colleagues affiliates as a source of earning money, then you leave housewives alone and look for sellers like you.

Register in the program, read about the toolbox of the program and earn money!

To earn respect of those who “click”, read e-mails for money, and of those who just surf the internet, we would like to say several word about BigFishGames company itself. Unlike most of “brand new”, “stable”, and other “excellent” companies established yesterday, which allow you to earn your 5 dollars, BigFishGames exists from 2002 and is one of a few (less then 10) key players on the casual games market. This company has a turnover over 1 billion dollars, and, as rumors would have it, today it is the fattest company on the market.

These fat guys have been preparing their partner program for a very long time, rumors about it were spreading for years untill the program was canceled in 2006, which caused lots of commotion in american press. To tell straight, the idea was extremely innovative – to draw attention of housewives (who are the major buyers of this product) to the sales and make everything in the form of MLM pyramid. It looked like exactly like that – [click here] – each housewife must have a page in the internet!

In our opinion, this idea failed cause it produced no booming sales, and the top consisted of semi-professionals. Probably, because of this in Februaryof 2007 BigFishGames company announced  its new product for partners, called Principal Network Partner affiliate program. These fat guys were drawing graphs and advertising its positive qualities, but of all it was in vain. This program is a perfect example of “traditional” affiliate partner program. Traditional doesn’t mean that this program is bad – you just need to filter promo stuff  from useful information.

(Here you can see the picture designed to zombify your brain)

Among new features we have to mention that this was the first multilevel partner program, cause nobody has ever done anything like this, except BigFishGames.

BigFishGames company used another interesting method – they attach client to the affiliate forever. It’s obvious that clients change their e-mails, operating systems, but nevertheless in all the partner programs the client was “milked” by the company under which ID the good was sold. Here the profit goes to the one who first brings the client into the “system”. That’s why we need to hurry up and grab as many clients as we can while they are still there This attach is provided by the correlation of the e-mail entered while buying or downloading a game, with the affiliate account.

The next feature of this program was a build-in “spam-machine” – you can put there e-mails of your “friends” in it and send them an invitation to become a member of the “elite club”, or to buy a game The e-mails in the list will be booked for you during 90 days, and those who don’t enter their e-mails on BigFishGames during this period, will be deleted, but you can always add them again

Update: on the 10 September of 2008 the “spam-machine” option was disabled. Probably, guys from Bigfish had made a mistake, payed for it and decided to stop attracting customers that way.

The most important quality of the program is the uniqueness of the content, cause many games are released first on BigFishGames, while other members of the market release them only in a month, when all the cream is already taken off. These fat guys can afford acting that way! So if a new hit game has been released on the Bigfish, you have only two options: to ignore the sweet process of taking off the cream, or to participate in their partner program.

Another nice thing is that the program applies to all the services of BigFishGames, from selling games or entering Online Community, to entering the Game Club.

Ok then, enough with the features. I think everybody has already made sure that this partner affiliate program is a good choice and is in hurry to sign up for the program here.

To sum up we are going to show you some statistical data. The second line shows you the amount of registered buyers, and the third – top 10 affiliates for the whole period.

Some people might find these figures ridiculous. Others will tell that Umax top gets this amount per day, so on and so forth. But what I don’t understand is why those people are reading this article anyway? Now, it’s up to you to rise to the top of this statistics. Also, I want to add that here you build up your “life” source of income, and later it will bring revenue without you making any efforts, which is not going to work on Umax.

Sign up and start making money!
