Hey Guys,
I have a app developed that I have been charging for use, but i am thinking about switching to a ad model and make my app free. I was wondering what advertising options are out there.
I know that admob owns a pretty big market share, but was wondering what are my options regarding how best to choose an advertiser, what are the other advertisers I have to choose from, and is there a benefit of one advertiser vs. another? Which one would pay more? I know this is dependent on how popular my app is.
Thanks for any info provided!!!
I personally use AdMob in my app. It also integrates Google AdSense ads into your app for when AdMob doesn't have an ad to show. I only just released my app a few weeks ago, but it seems like it will generate a pretty decent revenue. I searched before I implemented AdMob, but I really didn't find anything else.

wow...so admob has a monopoly of sorts in the market eh? So people use admob or get no ad revenue at all?
What about for the apple iphone? I heard there was iAds, and I guess admob as well? Is one better than the other?
can anyone provide anymore insight, or know of a forum which is popular among android/iphone app developers to better answer my question? There don't seem to be that many app developers browsing these forums.
thanks!!!
Personally, i use admob and have 2 apps using it. I don't make much from it (usually around $0.20 a day) but it's better than nothing i guess
As for which ad company to use, it doesn't really matter. They all pay out roughly the same: Millennial, AdMob, JumpTap, MobFox, etc. It's just down to personal preference really

Can you briefly say something about your app? Is it game and what kind?
How many downloads have you had so far?
When it comes to in-app ads the industry offers much more than just regular banners. There are other ad formats that deliver much higher cCPM than banners but their implementation depends on the kind of app you have.
I work for LeadBoltApps - our speciality is Content Locks for example; Ad mob is mostly banners; Airpush does Push Notifications and so on. Hope that helps.
My experience with Ad Networks
I have a weather app and needed to get ads going immediately at launch to fulfill my contractual obligations for the weather data provider.
I tried both Inmobi and Millennial Media. The problem with Inmobi is that they want to review your app and approve it for ads once it is up and available from the store.
Millennial Media was much easier to work with. Ads were running in my test app even before launch. There wasn't any manual approval hurdle to jump through.
I also tried to work with YP.com (AT&T Interactive) since my app uses location and they pay good rates for local ads. They wouldn't talk to me until I get 1M pageviews per month.
Hi, I'm a student who develops for Windows Phone 7 who doesn't have the resources to adquire a device, but I've found a way to get one, and I need your kind help. I've published three apps to the marketplace, which you can find searching Leonardo Ferrer, or they're called: InterestCalculator, Resistor Calculator and Letter Tap. I would appreciate if you help me by downloading them, they're small, nice and free, and rate them with three stars or more. That would help me getting my device and develop apps and games for the Windows Phone 7 community.
Thanks a lot for your help
Lol, What?
I'm guessing he wants us to download and use his apps so that he gets revenue from the ads in his apps (considering they're apparently free).
Therefore with this increased revenue he can then buy a phone.
Sounds very SPAMMY to me
I'll do it just cos I'm nice ^.^
Hey,
I heard lots of requests from people wanting a solution to disable distracting apps on their phone. There are already some solutions for PC, Mac and iOS, but not many for Android.
That's why I'm developing Block&Lock. It's an app that lets you block apps for specified timeframes or always, so you don't procrastinate anymore using social media and such during work .
At the same time you can lock applications that contain private data, so you can for example hand your phone to someone without him browsing your photos.
Both feature will be integrated in one App.
The website is now live, you can subscribe to the newsletter to get each and every update! But particularly: You get the paid PRO version for FREE by subscribing: bit.ly/block-lock-app
Beta users will also be chosen from the mailing list.
Follow the official twitter account as well: twitter.com/blocklockapp.
Thanks!
Best regards!
Hello,
we are a small business in the small town . lastly, I read some articles and also checked some app promotion video ,on how the business app can help grow the business and every business should provide mobile apps.
my question is if you are already providing website ( which is responsive in my case) do I also need to consider the app for shopping? like my store is not as big and popular and we are already on google business listings.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.
Hello guys, I hope I will not be violating any rules. I would just like to inform the community with our mobile. It's been in the playstore for a while but have no traction yet since we have not focused on marketing it.
It is called Makeapp. It's goal is to empower everyone to be able to create apps for hobby, business, etc.
We know that the UI needs improvement at first glance as well as user experience during creation of apps. With it's current version, we have already used it for providing several apps for a few clients such as an HR mobile app, delivery app, mobile dashboard, several e-learning apps, etc.
Hope you give it a try and give us feedback and ideas on how we can improve the product.
We are not yet sure in open-sourcing it but there have been discussions.
Here's the link if you are interested.
