desktop tower defense game

[cryptis]

has any one else played this game. it is a semi puzzle/ real time strategy game where you build a maze made of attack tower to stop the enemy forces from getting to the other side of the arena. http://www.handdrawngames.com/DesktopTD/game.asp

just a small warning this game can be very addicting.

Funny, kids I know are playing that tons, as well as echoes. I wonder if they're on the forums

Yeah there are loads of Tower Defence games around.  Desktop TD was my favourite until Vector TD came along

i got to say that vector game is pretty good, has a better difficulty curve as well. plus i like the graphics more.

Apparently Desktop TD gets so many hits, it generates a 6 figure sum from Google Ads.

Amazing for something so simple.  The internet is truly a starnge and wonderful place

There's what you need to do fog.

An easy to learn flash game with a steep difficulty curve and google ads on the side. Hey, at the least it'd get you a better comp., right?

If I wrote something like that which did make money then cool, but I couldn't set out to write something like that as I know I wouldn't enjoy doing it.  With all the visits we get to our download pages I guess we could make a reasonable bit of cash from Google Ads but, unless it was a silly amount of money, I'd rather keep our pages ad free

i think every dollar is worth it (acually is a dollor per link per view:), said a friend of mine who had a site with google adds)

If it was a dollar per link per view I think a few more people would be using Google Ads

asked again, actually it's only a few cents, but when it's clicked, it's a dollar

the amount of which you get per view is very very little. In some cases, none. But it does depend on your traffic volume and things like view-to-click and click-to-buy ratios. Meaning that a page that generates gazillion ad views but no clicks is going to get less money per view than a site that generates slightly less views but more clicks.
