Mashooo Revenue Sharing Guide

• We believe that Silverlight has the potential for becoming the next leading platform for creating high quality games on the internet.
• We also believe that for Silverlight to take its rightful place as a leading  game development platform there needs to be a monetary incentive for developers to develop high quality games.
• For those reasons we decided on a few changes in Mashooo. The first of those changes is a revenue share program.
• The revenue share program will let Silverlight game developers earn money on the games they submit to Mashooo.com.
• The program works by equally splitting ad revenue coming from ads displayed on the developer's game pages.
• We welcome all Silverlight developers to submit their games to Mashooo and participate in this revenue share program.

How the Ad Revenue Share program works

• To make it easy and flexible as possible we decided to use a simple and tested ad revenue share model that leverages the user's own Google AdSense account.
• This method was first used by Digital Point Forums and is currently used by dozens of sites including the DotNetKicks community web site.
• If you are a participating game developer your Google AdSense account ID is used 50% of the time for all views of your submitted games.
• When people view your game and click on your ads, your Google AdSense account is credited.
• Note that Google is the one paying you. We have no access to your Google account, we are not affiliated with Google nor endorsed by Google in any way.
• We just help you show your games to a larger audience and earn more ad revenue in the process.

How do I participate in the program?

To participate in the program you need to follow 3 simple steps:

1. Create an account on Mashooo.

5. You can host the game on as many other web sites as you wish. We do not require exclusivity.

7. Each Mashooo game page will also have a link to the game publisher's web site to help promote it.
8. You will create a reciprocal link back to Mashooo.com.
9. To prevent you from unknowingly violating the AdSense terms and conditions (specifically the part about clicking your own ads) a user is never shown his/her own ads. *
