Your site looks great and seems to work well too, although I haven't dug too deep, but then again I guess you guys know what you're doing! I'm quite interested in what you are doing here, but how on earth do you actually earn money from facebook quizzes? Who pays you?

First of all love the logo, its got a hint of Toys - R - Us to it.

Love the menu at the top that is very sleek and i would love to see that on other sites also i do like that a lot.

Yes your site seems to be very smooth an no real problems i can see, only one little thing i personally do not like it the Main Menu, i think it is situated to far in from the right maybe swap that with the testimonials bit would make it a bit better i feel.

But in all a very good site well done. Best of luck

Hello there, just visited your site and it's looking superb! I like your desing and layout its just perfect. Great job guys!

**Lpspider** · 04-11-2008, 06:07 PM

Very well designed. I haven't explored it much yet, but I'm impressed. The only thing I don't like is the dashes in the domain.

**JoWiGo** · 04-12-2008, 01:17 PM

Very sleek. From first impressions it looks good, I would suggest that the sliding banner at the top stay at the section you clicked on when the new page is loading though. If I click 'Auctions' from 'Home', it would be nice if during that delay between pages it stayed at 'Auctions' instead of resliding to 'Home'.

I like the layout and the unique domain name.. Good job!

This site is awesome... i've been interested in apps for a while now and I
think you guys have a great layout and easy to navigate site. i definitely
like the logo. i know you have tutorials, but I think you could build a list
by offering a report on how to make money with facebooks aps. Just a
suggestion not sure if you're already building one, but I know many people
that would want that info...

Great site

There are ad networks that run ads on facebook apps. I have seen lots of app developers do really well with ads on their apps. All it seems to take is a bit of an upfront push to the app and then the invites take over to fuel the growth.

With over 20,000 apps on facebook, there is quite a bit of money bing made.

Oops - almost a thread hijack...

@apps-r-us - really great looking site. I think you're on to something with this. Best of luck.

Cheers,
Stas

Thanks for the kind words about the site everyone!

Yes Stas is right, advertisers pay you to show ads on apps, just like anywhere else on the web

What he didn't mention is that he runs one of these networks

They are called Zohark ads and we've heard a lot of good things about them, although we haven't run them ourselves. We tend to run CPM ads or our own CPA offers on our apps, as far as I know Zohark does PPC for publishers.

Anyways, back to the topic... there are also a thousand other ways to monetize an app, basically the sky (or your creativity) is the limit. You can get users to complete CPA offers in exchange for points or items, run traditional PPC/CPM ads, sell advertising, etc.. I know people with extremely simple and stupid (yet active) quiz apps that have made thousands and thousands of dollars just by placing a PPC ad where the submit button "should" be. (they actually placed it under the ad, but since the ads used to look like the submit buttons, users would click the ads) Of course, you don't have to be sneaky to earn money (and Stas probably doesn't appreciate it

), but the point I'm trying to make is that there are an infinite amount of earning strategies when it comes to FB apps.

also, sorry for the dashes in the url. appsrus.com was taken

haha

take care everyone, and let me know if you have questions or are interested in an app, either custom or turnkey

you can probably reach us at appsrus@live.com the quickest.

take care everyone!

Absolutely correct!

Zohark is a PPC network delivering millions of impressions every day on facebook. Soon we will be expanding to open social as well.

Has apps-r-us figured out open social yet? I know that myspace opened up the app directory yesterday with about 1000 apps. Considering facebook's 20K+ apps and myspace's relative user base, it's not unreasonable to assume that the app count could crest 50k within a year. Interesting times indeed.

ToysRus will prolly sue you for the logo. heh. After surfing through your site it seems you have a little too much going on at one time in all the columns. Maybe combine the 2 right columns into one, leaving the main column more room.

**SamOwen** · 05-22-2008, 09:12 PM

I'd change the logo. It's a complete Toys r us rip, actually your name is too.
