Glad to see your still doing cakesTV, Really enjoy the show and getting a better insight into the industry.
 
I roughed out a prototype framework for renting virtual space in games to advertisers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK_ChrH1M9w&feature=player_detailpage I supply the current sponsors ad graphic and web url in my backend database, every game client already distributed checks the DB when it's opened and imports the ads into the game (puts graphic on signs on buildings, GUI menus, billboards in 3d environment). Stats are kept for IP address, # times played, # of clicks on each particular ad, player activity over previous 30 days. I came here to learn about what traffic I should be tracking and how to monetize it. Advertiser will rent the ad placement in game by the month, based off stats from previous month, doesn't matter how many clicks or impressions, they simply get exclusive use for X amount of time.


I really like the idea of gamification. I came here to figure out IM potential in games. I think there is a real potential for integrating incentives in your webpages for non game related content. Even just leaderboards(user competition) and virtual avatars that you can level up through actions, participation, etc.
