Biggest flash game, ever? If he had Mochiads how much revenue do you think he'd have by now?
Are current-events games a viable market?

The same guy made the milliondollarhomepage, that's also why he made the yahoo and msn front page. I've never seen a flash game on yahoo or msn front page before. The game is technically very poor but it's straight to the goal, powered by a brilliant idea (the hit counter ).
I think that's: "Bush's been hit 21 000 000 times" , not 21 000 000 views,
Probably not even close if you consider that each play could average 10-20 hits. And to answer your question, with Mochi ads he probably wouldn't have made even a $1000 so far.
I don't think you can expect to get much money from current-event quickie games, but they could help attract players who would come back to play other games ( providing you had some ).
And an opportunity like this one doesn't come very often.
sockandawe.com is filled with ads, I am sure they are making nice amount of cash with it.
Oh yes, yesterday, there were no ads. The site was on sale on ebay and it has been won by fubra.com. They have added a lot of ads. They bought the site for about 8000$

According to this ( http://www.fubra.com/blog/2008/12/hi...r-shoes-do-it/ ) the site makes several millions visitors a day (1 million = 1000$ in ads clicks), I think 8000$ is a very good price. I don't know why big game portals didn't try to win this.
