Online video advertising
One of the best ways to make money online is by selling goods and services online selling your products and services online is one the best means of making money because this way you can reach out to a global audience and can therefore reach out to more potential costumer and therefore make more money. The problem with ecommerce is that it is dependent on the amount of traffic that you generate, traffic is the number of people who visit your website, the best way to increase the traffic to your website and in turn the number of potential costumers is through advertising. Advertising is an effective way of convincing people to buy or try out your product and it has been proven through the years that a good advertising campaign is enough to convince people to buy anything.

Most online business people advertise their websites by placing advertising banners all over the internet and hope that people will click on the banner which will then link them to their website, this method is effective however it has its own flaws and is not entirely perfect. To day the latest and most popular way for online businesses to advertise their products and services is through videos and video adverts, online businesses can now make use of videos thanks to improvements in technology such as broadband which has made it possible to send high quality video picture via the internet at fast speeds.

Video advertising has many advantages for the online business because it is bound to give you the edge over your competition because video adverts are more attractive and eye catching than simple advertisement banners on the internet with video adverts you can show more information about your products and thus attract more people to your website. The best way to make more money from your video adverts is by posting them all over the internet and this way you are bound to generate more traffic for your website.

Video adverts can incorporate live action, animation, or 3D animation etc this means that you have many options on how to make your advert more appealing, video adverts allow you the chance to reach out to a wider population because they are more dynamic than normal marketing adverts.

Online video advertising is the best thing for an online business to try today because according to marketing experts this form of marketing is not widely used in the online business sector, as research shows that only 2.36% of company funds used on marketing their products and services is used on online video advertising. This means that not many people fully understand the benefits of this form of marketing and if you were to increase your business funds into online advertising you would have the edge over the other companies and thereby make more money.

There are two forms of online video advertising these are in stream advertising (pre/mid/post roll), and then there is overlay advertising. Pre-roll advertising is a very popular advertising method among online businesses, these adverts are the best option for a website with a lot of informative content these adverts attract consumers because consumers are usually attracted by websites with content because nobody wants to buy something they nothing about. On the other hand overlay online video advertising is a less intrusive form of advertising and you can normally see these types of adverts at the bottom of a webpage, this type of advert is good for low content websites.

Despite not being as popular as it ought to be online video advertising has numerous obvious advantages over normal advertising methods, for example it is an innovative way to advertise which stretches the imagination and sets an impression in the mind of a consumer from the moment they see the advert, and as they “first impressions last the longest”, so if you are able to make good first impressions on a potential consumer the chances that they will buy are quite high.

Online video advertising allows you to give a better and more detailed description of your products and services. This is one of the biggest advantages that this form of advertising has over other advertising forms, most people don’t enjoy reading a lot text about a product and if for example the product is complicated even if you were to include a lot information about the product on your website it would be ineffective in convincing a costumer to purchase the good because they cant understand as thing about the product although all the relevant information is available. Online video advertising can offer potential costumers a detailed description of what the product looks like, its features, how to use it and how to buy all at the click of a button this means costumer don’t have to waste time reading long and boring information about a businesses goods and services.

Most people who are against online video advertising don’t like it because of the quality levels of the videos however there are have been many improvements in the technology which make it possible today to make high quality online advertising videos that can present to consumers a businesses products effectively, this is also good for business in that the better the quality of the video the more interest in your product you generate, and it also improves the reputation of your product and company.

Online video advertising is most affective and mostly used by online marketers when they are launching a new product or service on the market, because the product is new people don’t know much about it, so an audio and video advert will be the most effective way to present new information about the product its advantages, features and how to you it. The services industry is the ideal industry for online video advertising because there are very few ways to present to people how good your services are, besides using audio and video, for example a restaurant, hotel, bar can make a video showing how their food is coked, costumer service, and the environment around the establishment. Online video advertising would be the best option for any business in the services sector because it decides better your services better than text because with text you can lie and no one will know how ever with video people get to see for themselves how you go about your business.

Despite its slow acceptance into the online internet advertising world online video advertising is going fast thanks to broadband which has made it possible to send high quality audio and video pictures on the internet in real time, the online video industry is growing and is set grow even bigger this year, for example estimates show that the market is set to grow by up to $647 million dollars. The main form of video advertising was previously TV advertising, however this form of advertising has its own problems for example it is too expensive and is restricted in the range of markets that it reach, online video advertising on the other hand allows you to make more targeted adverts, and target a specific demographic section of the population for example if your product is targeted at teenagers then all you have to do is post the video ad on a teen website were they will be bound to see. Online video advertising also has the advantage that you can make greater savings on your advertising budget than you could with TV advertising, for example if you want to advertise on TV you have to first go to a advertising agency who would then make the advert, and then you would have to pay for your advert to get air time on TV and the effectiveness of this ad depended on whether you were able to get it screen at a prime time when many people were watching TV however this would mean that it would be more expensive.

Online video advertising is much easier and cheaper because you can opt to go to a advertising agency if you want a real quality ad, but you can still do it on your own in a very hands on straight forward approach it does have to be too fancy and you can make it as long as you want and so you don’t have time limits like you have in TV advertising, it is also cheap because you don’t pay to have it posted on the net, plus the advert is going to be there all the time and so people can watch it at any time they want. Another benefit of online video advertising is that you can track traffic on a website and analyze results so this way you can measure which sites are effective and which one are not performing.

So why you don't start make your home videos today.

Player Death and Consequences

Each game has its own set of rules about how player death is handled, what consequences are doled out, and how players must recover from it. In some games death even has a habit of evolving from one set of parameters to another, even increasing in scope how players can come to their own demise. While the death of a character may not always seem like a factor that should drive the mechanics of your game, if it's not setup correctly or in a way that positively effects you game (go figure), then this is a feature of your game that may cause you some serious headache down the line. Death of characters also provide you, the game developer, with unique opportunities when you create an online game. Not only do they give you the potential to keep player stats, items, development, etc, in balance, it gives you the potential to create new levels of detail or experiences in your game that don't follow the typical game progression.

The Basics

There are a few things that a life system offers in a gaming environment. In most cases, and in most games, your characters are not usually truly immortal - that is to say, there is very rarely a game that does not punish their players in a death style manner, if they mess up. Player death and life systems of a game provide you, the developer, with the idea to keep game play and advancing through your game in check; it allows you to sprinkle a few caveats throughout the mechanics of your game, making it necessary to think before you act. Is it a good idea to go guns blazing with your most expensive (and perishable) equipment, if the situation seems like it may very well end in death? If those items die upon death, it may make the player decide to rethink their actions, or at least put a bit more thought into the situation before rushing through various situations you've so carefully setup.

Death, in some games, is also a way to keep a players progression through the system in check. In many games, especially MMORPGs, its been a traditional mentality that death should penalize the player in a reduction of stats. This mentality says that this will then make players work harder to regain those points, thus creating extended game play time. The same philosophy can be seen behind making certain expensive items break upon death. While this was a readily accepted mentality for most RPGs years ago, it seems the tide is beginning to move away from this. EVE Online for instance takes away all items attached to a ship (and the ship itself) when it is blown to bits. In some cases and depending on the situation your character can also suffer skill/stat points. However, EVE does provide players with the ability to insure their ships, and create 'clones' of their current skill sets so that in the event death occurs, little is lost. Nice, eh? This is an example where the developers of the game have clearly said "Yes, death should have a penalty", but they have also said "But... We should give players a chance to hold onto their goods, even if death does come their way." In many ways this approach appeals directly to more casual players who would be incredibly turned off by losing it all, simply because they were killed. This has special meaning because it is fairly easy to die in Eve. More on this later.

Development Opportunities

It may sound strange that in death there would be opportunities for additional game play and experiences, but it's true. A player being killed in a MMORPG does not need to be a completely painful experience. In a more old school RPG, Ultima Online, the creators made death a bit more interesting. Instead of just making it so that players would resume where they left off upon returning to the land of the living, they made it required for the departed to locate someone who could resurrect them individually. While this adds additional game play time to death, it also adds in new elements of the game play that players are forced to deal with - interacting with other players, and working together. There are numerous other approaches to death. What if the return trip from the underworld spawned additional quests that were only active to those who had perished? What if death actually was a part of the game in that there were unique skills and items to gain once you've perished? Since death is such a normalized part of most games, why not make it something that is truly designed? In many ways creating a crafted death experience for your users when they come to an unfortunate demise can also change how those players perceive death. Is it merely a consequence put in place to add time to their game play, or is it an experience that actually has some merit and adds to the game?

Implications of Death

Depending on how easy it is to die in your game, how easy it is for other players to kill one another, what happens when a player does die, how they recover their character from it, how they retrieve their items, and so on, all play a part in how death is perceived in your game. Ultimately, if you're like most developers you want your game's death system to have some bite, and for players to fear it for one reason or another, but you certainly don't want players to hate it so much that they leave your game over it. Because death is an inevitable part of most games (and most likely yours!) it's important to consider what your "death penalty" does to a player.

In most cases if a character is killed off for good as a result of dying, players will probably be incredibly upset and unsatisfied by those results unless this is readily expected from the beginning, and it's easy for players to recover what they may have lost. In most cases games that have "perma" death tend to be games where players don't get a chance (and aren't expected) to become heavily attached to their characters. Additionally, games where perma death occurs don't leave much room for player made history or development, especially if death is a frequent occurrence. Even the looming possibility of perm death, say after 100 disposable lives that players can come back from easily becomes a bit hard to digest. Unless you can find a way to work it into the game play and storyline flawlessly, it would be wise to keep your distance from such an approach.

Like EVE, Guild Wars has a fairly balanced and reasonable approach to death. When players die, they don't "perma" die, but they are resurrected at a shrine closest to where they were killed. When players set out to continue their journey, they have a timed handicap that limits their health and mana. If the player dies before the handicap has expired, their new penalty simply adds onto the old one. While not creating permanent stat penalties, this can slow down game play and force you to be a bit more careful as your progress (at least until your stats are restored).

Probably the most important factor to consider when determining what the penalties for death are is to decide and figure out how frequent death occurs for the normal player. If, like in Eve, it is fairly easy to blow up your ship and everything inside of it, you probably want to make death something that is 1. reasonable and 2. something that players can mitigate on their own (like in eve through purchasing insurance plans that protect your assets). While making sure that every player in your game is "happy" with every aspect of your game should not be your primary concern, making sure that at least most of your players are satisfied with the consequences for such a big system (like death) is incredibly important in retaining the people who play your game.

Computer Games is Fun and Easy

There's no doubt, that computer games are here to stay. They have to be one of the most prevalent forms of software around. You can find them on PC's, Macs, cellphones, pdas, and BlackBerrys. They even have their own genre of hardware. Specifically for gaming. There are living room styled consoles like Xbox, Wii's, and PS3s. As well as a horde of portable gaming platforms, like the PSP, GameBoy, and DS. I can't think of any other software that warrants it's own hardware platform. We sure do like to play don't we?

It's a basic human need - for some even an obsession. Play time is a stress reliever, a much needed distraction, and arguably a self esteem builder for the winners. But another basic need that computer games can feed, is that of creation. Everyone loves to create. Whether it's a five year olds finger painting hanging on the fridge, or Stephen Kings next great horror epic. Anyone with an emotion to express, story to tell, or movie to capture can do their thing.

I must confess to be a wanna-be game developer from way back. I first tinkered around with building games on a Commodore 64. And if I really want to date myself, I'll confess to writing a very basic random number generator type game in Basic on a Radio Shack TRS-80 computer. Fortunately for the inspired gamers of today, the technology supporting game building has improved by several light years since then. From the simple to use yet powerful GameMaker from YoYo Games to the Unreal Editor (UnrealEd) that ships with the purchase of most games powered by the Unreal engine. This enables anyone who owns the game to create their very own version of the game using the same tools as the professionals.

It's a beautiful world to live in, if you've got the itch to build games. Not only are the tools available, but the information on how to use them is freely given and discussed in forums all over the internet. A google of the term "game developer forums", shows 194 million results. WOW! I'm sure they're not all totally relevant, but as I puruse the top few entries, I see a few places where I've spent lots of time. Including, but not limited to GameDev, and IndieGamer forums. The latter being an offshoot of the independent gamers forum started by Steve Pavlina on his old Dexterity website, back when he was a legend in the world of independent gamers.

While the tools mentioned above work great for building and designing games, there is plenty of opportunity for other skilled artists to create for the gaming world. Digital artists are every bit if not more a part of game creations than programmers and designers. It's the visual styling of a game that often sets it apart from the competition, and garners kudos from critics and fans alike. Musicians and sound effects artisans can have fun helping to build games these days. While music and sound effects can often be rather forgettable in games, (especially some of the derivative casual games clones), the really good ones auditory aficionados can really add a whole dimension to the gaming experience. Games like System Shock 2 (Irrational Studios), and the more recent Bioshock (2KGames) come to mind as benefited from some incredibly talented sounds and music.

So, don't put it off any longer. If you've got the game builder itch, it's time to scratch. You could be the next Leonardo Da Vinci of the game business. The world is waiting. If you enjoyed this article on how to make computer games, don't miss out on the latest news on making computer games as it happens.

Alice Greenfingers 2 - Farming Basics With Fun! - Big Fish Games, Inc.

Alice, welcome back! Surely, all of you remember this industrious girl whose farm was the first in the series of successful farming strategy games. Now the second part of the hit is out, and you have a wonderful chance to remember your first farming experience in casual gaming. A shovel, a patch of land and a bag of seeds - that's all you need to succeed. Want any prove? Ask Alice!

I'm sure you remember the hard-working Alice Greenfingers, her uncle Berry and their faithful friend Paul, the shopkeeper. In the second part of the game you will meet all the heroes again, and in familiar environment - on a farm. Alice will work in order to earn money and fulfill all the tasks of uncle Berry, who is rather demanding, I should say. Paul will sell all the necessary supplies and equipment, and you will have fun while playing. Nothing much can be said on the game story, as there is essentially no story at all. Just the regular farm life continues.

Concerning the game play I can say it's mainly the same as in the first game. For each day you have a number of goals (the tasks given by uncle Berry) to complete. Fortunately, you are not bound with any time limit, so you can take your time and develop your farm as you wish without any fear of failing. It's impossible to fail here. So, for each day you have a mission, and for completing it, as well as some other tasks, you get a badge or a cup - some food for your vanity. The challenges are rather different, starting from removing harmful dandelions and picking apples to growing a certain number of certain plants, selling them, earning a certain amount of money for uncle (or yes, he sometimes needs a new hat or something else not less expensive) or even exercising Jefferson, the family dog, so that he lost some weight. You are the only one who determines what you will do next, as long as you fulfill the tasks.

As in the first part, you dig soil, sow seeds, water plants as you grow, fertilize the soil, harvest your products and take them to the market, where customers are happy to buy them. You are free to purchase hens, beehives or other animals for your farm. They don't need much of your attention, but bring you additional money as you sell their produce. The same function is performed by trees - you can always gather a number of apples or plums (if you buy a plum tree) for extra cash. Cash is needed for upgrades and some necessary supplies to get from Paul's shop.

Besides, after each level you are offered to select a free upgrade among a number of options. You can get new goods unlocked in the shop, or a cash bonus, or extra space for your farm, or even advertising in a local newspaper for attracting more customers to the market. All of those are useful, and you take whatever you wish.

So, if you are in for farming strategy games, Alice Greenfingers 2 is the right choice!
