Your Guide to Easy Money with Facebook Apps
A neat little chart was published by developerAnalytics on how much each of the top Facebook apps could possibly be making each day. With Facebook, like many of other Internet apps, it exhibits a pronounced long tail effect in which a handful of apps have large numbers of visitors while other have almost none. The best theoretical daily revenue is for Mob Wars, a legend on the Facebook platform. Revenue drops quickly to a few thousand a day to the other top apps.
Of course, these numbers are just projects. They are not actual data. Everyone would love to see actual numbers. The real question is how much are people willing to buy when they are on Facebook since the Facebook experience is really about spending your time doing fun activities. I am sure that we will get some actual revenue numbers soon.
On a related Facebook note, I have some news about the Scabulous situation that I had mentioned in a previous post. Scabulous, one of the most popular Facebook apps and websites, has being targeted by Hasbro and Mattel, the companies that have the rights to the games in the US and outside the US. Facebook has pulled the app completely. It is one of the headaches of doing business on someone else’s platform, just as ask WidgetLaboratory.
