But point 2 is a brilliant idea! If I was going to use again Rasermedia, I would definitely do it.

When you talk about “component feature”, I presume that you mean : do I give the option to the user to choose what the setup will do or do I let him only do a full/compact install (full meaning installing the screensaver/setting the homepage/doing other stuffs, and compact meaning only installing the screensaver).

The only option in my setup is to let him choose not to set the default homepage or not (activated to yes by default).

" Do you still need to inform people in the installer that you will open a page like that after installation? I'm on my final steps on finishing my saver site. Done the portal, site layout, design :) and got 20 screensavers so far. Excited to launch it lol. Are you using the component feature btw and just making it full install and compact install?

I've been getting a dismal $0.001 per install per day in search revenue. So if you target 300 downloads a day like Eli's original post suggested, that's $0.30 a day in Adsense for search revenue. But it’s probably one of the most defensible streams of income you can find on the internet, which counts for a lot. It certainly doesn’t hurt to do this in addition to a pay-per-install or other monetization method. Looking forward to hearing about your mystical blackhat method :).
