As this blog is, among other things, about making money online, it’s about time I write something about Agloco! Rumour is all over the net that they’re going to launch their viewbar very soon now!

For those who have been living in a cave the last few months, Agloco gives you a way to make money just for surfing the web. All you have to do is install their viewbar. For the long story, I gladly refer to their website.

In my quest for online passive income, it’s rather obvious I signed up for their program. And since I can make more money by referring people, it should be rather obvious this post is full of referral links

Like most bloggers, I (ab)use my blog to get referrals. But unlike most bloggers, I’m not going to write endlessly about how Agloco works, and how it is good for you, and will make you rich, and do your homework too. No, my message is plain and simple: I want to make money with Agloco. And if you want the same, stop reading and sign up already!!

Not interested? Then go play a game!

The freeware version of my Flash game Enigmatica has been released on my new arcade SmileyGamer.com! If you are a webmaster, you can put this version for free on your own website or games arcade. Download the full package here.

Contrary to the version that is available for licensing, the freeware version contains advertising from MochiAds, an ad network for Flash games. It also contains logo’s from, and links to the Smiley Gamer website, and it’s integrated with the highscore system of that same site.

Check out the games for your site page at Smiley Gamer to see all our games that are available for free and for licensing.

Yesterday, I uploaded the game to Newgrounds, and it has already received some nice reviews over there!

In case you were wondering, yes, the Smiley Puzzle Project is still alive! While the actual games are still under development, the project has gotten a new scope.

As discussed before, the SmileyPuzzleGames.com site was intended to become a small games arcade featuring my smiley related games. But instead of developing this site, it seemed like a better idea to take it a few steps further, and actually build a full-blown online games arcade.

So I registered the SmileyGamer.com domain, and started building my arcade based on PHPArcadeScript. It’s now in a reasonable state, which I just declared the beta stage, so have a look for yourself:

Some of the reasons for dropping my original plans:

• A full-blown arcade can be used to showcase my own games to a wide audience.
• If I can let my arcade grow and start getting serious traffic, the site can start generating some decent advertising income.
• I will spread freeware versions of my own Flash games to other arcade sites, with links to my arcade, as a way to get more traffic.
• Since I wont be focusing on smiley related games alone, a general games arcade is a better home for my first Flash game, Enigmatica, and my java game Bubblomania.
• Also, I will not only make puzzle games, but other genres as well. So the SmileyGamer.com domain is better suited than SmileyPuzzleGames.com.

This change of plans also means I will be focusing my attention to webgames made with Flash, rather than downloadable games made with Java. I wrote previously about why to make this switch. I might still decide to make a downloadable version if any of my webgames becomes wildly popular, but for now, sticking to webgames makes more business sense.

If you visit the site, and find any problems or have feedback, please let me know by using the contact page on the Smiley Gamer site, or leave a comment here on this blog.

The free online gaming site Game Garage was the first one to buy a license of my Flash puzzle game Enigmatica. Yesterday the game went live on their site, and it’s now featured as the Game of the Week!

Play Enigmatica!

In a few weeks, the game will also become available on this site, and a couple of others. If you would like to add it to your own website, contact me!
