[Q] Banned For Life from Android Market/ Developer

Google recently shut down my developer account and google market account with no explanation. And as you all know their support sucks. Does anyone know how to get back on the market to sell apps? Thanks. I had some Themes for pandahome etc but now I have some apps I made with AI I want to get on the market.
Your merchant account has been closed

Make another fake account.
Xda app

I tried that 4 times and somehow they keep finding me. I used walmart gift cards with fake names! I don't know if they are tracking my ISP or what, but they go up for about an hour, take my $25 developer fee, and then get closed down.
Any surefire ways to set up a stealth developer account?

All I was making was themes you can see what I had here, then lost everything
androidlib my developer name was Onion Rings Studios

You're were making themes for an app; did you ask the developer if you can put them on the market. He could report you because you didn't have his approval.

It looks like most of your themes were copyright infringing, maybe someone who owns the copyright had complained about you.

I remember getting my first ticket. Some guy was ahead of me and was slowing down to stop for a light that was turning red, I decided to drive right around him to pass.
I got pulled over.
When I asked the cop what I did wrong, he gave me a nasty look and just said "license and registration".
Sorry, I know this story doesn't have anything to do with the topic of this thread, but when I read that Google banned the account without giving any explanation...It made me think of that.

I seriously doubt that they would ban you for no reason whatsoever, as the previous posts say your themes where probably copyright infringing and the copyright owner complained about you. So there is your reason!

What kind of AI were you working on?

If you were making themes for another developers app and making money out of it, i can completely see why you should be stopped... Banned seems a little OTT though? I also think Google should have an obligation to explain the ban, you should have been given a chance to appeal or something! Unless of course you're missing a few bits out??
Try teaming up with another developer or themer? If its any consolation, i dont think many people use panda home anymore...infact i dont know of anyone!!

why the hell would Google know who you are?

Are you re-uploading the same App? Using same email? Thats why they find you probably. Get someone with a real CC to open an account for you.

I suspect his endeavours take a wrong turn the moment he starts using 'Walmart credit cards' and 'fake identities'.

Not many genuine people need fake ID and credit cards so its probably for our protection....doesn't look too good considering the apps he/she sold were to profit from another devs work in the first place!

I had a nice app game that I downloaded last December.
After I upgraded to Froyo, I wanted to re-download the game.
It is no longer available because a huge corporate game marketer threatened legal action becuase it had similarities to one of the games they market.
It's corporate litigation bullying!
The independent developer cowered and pulled his app.
I'd love to see a thread with links to apk files(apps) that we can access and install with a sideloader.
Does anyone have such a resource?

Anyone using TapContext?

Anyone start using TapContext yet? I got an email from them but haven't downloaded the SDK.

TapContext
Hello emdavis… We had a really great BETA launch with some really good success with several niche app developers. Even since opening our doors outside of BETA we are still seeing some real good results for a variety of clients.
Please feel free to test us out on a portion of your installs, and let us know how things go. Right now we are offering $50 instant bonus to all new developer accounts. Visit our site to learn more tapcontext dot com

my experience
My experience with TapContext so far has been pretty good… what I have noticed with Airpush is how it started off well, but dwindles down to nearly nothing. Leadbolt's revenues are growing, but for the past several months TapContext has held extremely strong.

what kind of ads did they offer? banner? push? icon? anyone know?

You can run notifications, interstitial or both. I started with notifications but adding in interstitial this week. Its been working really good so far so hopefully adding in interstitial will give it a further boost.

Hello @ CrashingDutchman,
I wanted to give this some time to see if Bobby_l answered but wanted to answer as a TapContext Rep... Our network supports native Android development platforms at this time. We are working on instructions for other dev platforms. Unfortunately, we currently do not have testing/instructions for other platforms besides IntelliJ or Eclipse.
Hope that helps!

I implemented the SDK in one of my apps using only interstitial. eCPM was high and I thought I'd be happy with it but they ran some bull**** anti-virus ad. Some people were confused thinking that it implied that my app had a virus. Several 5 star reviews turned to 1 star and uninstallation rate went up.
Needless to say I took it down and was very disappointed.

StartApp

Hi,
first of all, if I can convince you to try out StartApp, Mod Edit: Link Removed
» StartApp FAQ
Well then, let's start. As I already announced here, I am currently trying out a new ad network for one of my apps. The network is called "StartApp". And although it is a little bit more intrusive than AdMob and not every user is going to like it, I am, however, already yet pretty satisfied with its results. In just two days I earned now more than $13 - which might not sound like a lot for some of you, but for me it actually it is quite much. Because in comparison to AdMob it's around 20 times more!
But simply look yourself:
» With AdMob banner ads I earned around $10 in the last 30 days.
» And now my StartApp earnings from just the last two days: $13.34.
(Well, of course, that were just two days, we will see, if this will hold on in the future.)
So how does StartApp actually work? Basically, there are two ways to earn money with StartApp.
1st Way: SDK Integration
Regarding of which option you choose (full integration / partial integration), with this way you will earn money for each installation of your app. I will simply quote the FAQ:
Our payment is based on number of app downloads; you get paid for each download generated with our SDK inside. There are 2 integration levels available: Full and Partial. The amount of payment depends on the integration level you choose. For full integration, we pay $0.055 for each new U.S install , $0.01 for each new install from any other country. For partial integration, we pay $0.04 for new U.S installs and $0.008 for new installs from any other country. A new user would be a user who's device does not have the StartApp SDK present. A returning user (with the StartApp SDK on his device) will grant you $0.01 each from the US and $0.005 for all other countries for both full and partial integration.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2nd Way: Popup (Exit) Ads
I will simply quote the blog:
The Exit Ad introduces StartApp developers to the rev share model, providing continuous income and great eCPM, all while keeping the seamless user experience that users expect and value.
The exit ad will display a full screen banner ad when the user exits the application, intruding minimally on the user experience of your app. When the user clicks the back button or the home button on their device to exit the application, they are presented with an ad that leads to a mobile website or a free app download when clicked. If they click “Not Now” the app will exit as normal.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please note that you can also add those popup ads to other points of your app, e.g. "natural breaking points" (like a user saves a file or loads a game level and while the file is being saved or the game level is loaded, he cannot do anything anyway - so why not showing him a popup add now?).
(3rd Way: Referral Program)
You'll get $10, for the first 100 downloads a developer who was referred by you makes. The referred developer himself gets a bonus of $25 if he crosses this 100 downloads (that bonus is only for those being referred!). And afterwards, it even goes on: For every other of the following download-levels being crossed by the referred developer, you’ll get an extra payment:
- At 1,000 downloads + $25
- At 10,000 downloads +150
- At 100,000 downloads +$500
- At 1,000,000 downloads +$1,500
So summing it all up, you can make up to $2,185 for each referred developer. Therefore here again my appeal to you: Mod Edit: Link Removed Give it a try. It's a win-win-situation.

(ATTACHEMENTS: SCREENSHOTS)

It sounds good, but the way they seem to work it is super intrusive.
http://www.startapp.com/faq/
How does it actually work?
We will supply you a SDK (including a step by step implementation guide). Integrating our product takes about 3 minutes! Once implemented, update your app on the market and add our disclaimer text to your app description. We are very focused on maintaining transparency, so it's highly important you let your users know about us. Your user will then get a search icon on his home screen, a bookmark link and a browser home page, all directing to our web search URL.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i'd rather see ads, than have an app change my browser start page and add search icons.
Plus the permissions are kind of rough. System tools and read messages are hard for most people to accept.

Well, yes and no. You can decide to offer the user a clean app without any ads, but instead you include this shortcuts and bookmarks installation procedure. The user can easily decline this dialog (I think he has to do it 3 or 4 times until it stops appearing anymore):
In my opinion, this dialog is quite transparent and clear to the user. If he (accidently or deliberately) chose to accept this dialog, he can afterwards easily delete the bookmarks and shortcuts (drag to the trash or delete the link for the browser). After all, your users are going to have a completely ad-free app. In my opinion it is not that intrusive, since StartApp does not "settle into the system" or something.
You can also choose to only use those exit-popup-ads. I cannot say how much you can earn with them yet and if it is really more than with AdMob. But you can give it a try, especially they could be useful while loading a game level or saving a file or something (as explained above). The user might be more willing to look at those ads if he cannot do anything else at the moment anyway. That might be a cleaner solution than those AdMob ads, on which the user clicks accidently while playing a game, because the controls are next to the banner or something.
Concerning the permissions, here you can find an explanation. What do you mean by "read messages"? There is no permission needed to read SMS or something.
Personally, I decided to give StartApp a try, because AdMob's eCPM was somehow unexpectedly low (much lower than for other apps from me). Also, many, many stupid people installed my app (which is for ROOTED PHONES ONLY) and rated it negatively because "it does not work ('****', 'crap', '**** you', ...)". I certainly do not have pity on those who cannot even read...

for the message thing I was going by their "can I see this live" link from the FAQs which goes to
start app quick search https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.startapp.quicksearchbox on the play store.
Is the one they install different from that one? also, system tools does show up in the play store descriptions, so they need to update where they say it doesnt.
Other than that it sounds interesting. The money you are currently getting from them includes the search combo, or is it just the interstitial(Exit) ads?
I like interstitials for some situations. and it seems so far for you they are paying out better than admob.

Out of ideas- Startapp truly has a very non obtrusive solution to monetize your apps and users accept this concept as it is much more friendlier than push notifications or even banners which appear from nowhere anf interrupt the usage of the app. Regarding the quick search you saw from their website it is identical to the one that will appear via the installation of your app. Bear in mind. that as Null0R has mentioned above, Startapp is 100% compliant with Google's policy, meaning the user can choose whether to accept or decline this addition, and it wont affect the installation of your app.
If you need and examples of apps using Startapp's SDK let me know.

Hey,
sorry for the late answer, I was waiting for an answer from StartApp myself.

The very main part of the money I currently earn (still always around $8 - $10 per day) from StartApp definitely results from the SDK integration itself (bookmarks, search icon, ...). Currently, I earn only around $0.1 - $0.2 per day from interstitial ads. Thats not really impressive, but it still can concete with AdMob I guess (since my AdMob revenue never was really a lot higher on the same app I think). On the StartApp dashboard it says, my eCPM is $0.16. In AdMob, I always had around $0.07 eCPM. Paradoxically, my AdMob-eCPM raised since I integrated StartApp (I now have those two ad networks in one app). Now it is $0.10.
Like you, I also wanted know how many they actually pay for interstitial ads. The answer, however, was not really that concrete.
The advertisements that are shown on the exit ads earn various amounts due to the different agreements that we have with the advertiser. Depending on what advertisements are shown we help you out by calculating a eCPM for you. You are able to use this to compare the payment amounts between other ad networks.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Here they also say:
RevShare- StartApp will share a percentage earned from these advertisements with you. Payments are sent every month in a NET30 terms (30 days after the end of the payment period). Your Ecpm is easily visible in portal. The eCPM may change depending on various parameters.
[...]
hitman: do you pay per impression or per click ?
Matthew: We pay eCPM, which allows us to calculate a payment from both pay per impression and pay per click.

What might be interesting for you as well is that StartApp introduced a new type of interstitial ads last thursday: http://blog.startapp.com/3d-ad-latest-ad-type/
for the message thing I was going by their "can I see this live" link from the FAQs which goes to
start app quick search https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...quicksearchbox on the play store.
Is the one they install different from that one? also, system tools does show up in the play store descriptions, so they need to update where they say it doesnt.
Click to expand...

I think, this permission is not part of the requirements of the StartApp SDK. Rather the app itself needs to read messages, since it is a search app and you can search through your contacts, your messages, your apps and so on with it. At least, this would be my guess. You can check out my app's permission requirements: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.felixheller.sharedprefseditor (writing to sd card, however, is not part of the StartApp requirements).
For those who are being interested, I am willing to share my StartApp stats after one week of usage.
(click to enlarge)
So basically, I earned $56 in a week with StartApp. This really is a lot in my opinion. When I started with AdMob, I needed around 9 months until I reached my first $100 (until my first payout). How it seems like I need around two weeks with StartApp. So this is a quite dramatic improvement, I think, everybody noticed that on his own, huh?

Oh yeah, I get stupid comments as well. Few of them stated, that they actually do like the app, but that they do not like the new permissions and thus they won't update. They like the app. They rate it with one star. Logic.
Today I got the first time a "virus-comment" as well. Well, I try to deal with it. I always try to give friendly answers to stupid comments. I try to explain the permissions and why I chose to use something different than AdMob. You should also add StartApp's disclaimer to your app description (you actually have to):
We love creating apps, and want to keep them free forever. In order to keep our development running we are using a search service to generate some revenue from this free app. This app will add a couple search links on your device in the form of an icon, bookmark link and browser homepage. You may delete them easily (drag to the trash or delete the link for the browser), if you choose to use them, thanks!

To be honest, my average rating went a bit down since I included StartApp. But I still get lots of high ratings. Still, many users seem to be satisfied. So am I since I included StartApp. In my opinion, the earnings were definitely worth it until now.

For me it didn't help. I've added description about antivirus, but there are too many idiots that don't read description or are just dumb. Almost all of may 1stars are for virus... I will have to remove startapp.

ouch. thats a rough way to lose the "portal bump" and definetly makes it rough to recover from.
I've seen quite a few different apps using startapp being reported as viruses(even if they are not) and nothing kills a good rating faster than that.
Everyone ends up having to makes a bunch of apology follow ups and ends up dumping startapp.
So, not to seem rude or anything, but I don't think this is a good monetization solution for developers.

Well, I have removed startapp from my app. At least now we know that XDA don't allow apps with this kind of ad networks .
It is not a good monetization solution for developers - your app is marked as virus.
I will never use aggressive ads network in the future that mark your app as virus.

Hi,
I cannot tell you a lot about that yet. International transfers take some time for sure. Today is the 13th August and I still did not receive any earnings, too - neither from StartApp nor from AdMob. But at the moment, that does not seem to be a thing to be worried about in my opinion. Because my first AdMob payout also took about 19 days (19th February). I will simply wait another week and wach out.
Although my referral links were removed (sorry 'bout that, didn't notice that rule and others posted referral links as well on other topics...), I still wanted to share my most recent experiences with you anyways. So here it is.
My earnings are still quite high. I earn about $12-$13 every day with only one app using StartApp. That's cool. I didn't change anything on my apps since I introduced StartApp.
On the other hand, my ratings of this one app are still going down slowly (including some false virus reports as well). That's stupid. But at the moment that's not a big enough reason to cancel this "StartApp experiment" in my opinion. I'll just wait a bit further, I guess. Maybe I could also write the StartApp support and ask them what to do about those virus reports and negative ratings and if they have some tips or something.

Hey,
I am happy to hear your earnings are still high, there shouldn't be a reason they wont be
Here is what Startapp support answered: " Thank you for letting us know about this feedback from your users about messages from their anti-virus software.
We encountered several AV apps that have mis-flagged our SDK as Adware.
After working with with most of these companies, we now have only Dr. Web, AVG and Norton and a few others that are still flagging us as ad ware.
Our latest SDK offers an opt-in EULA for the end user, giving them the choice to add our search app. This user-friendly approach is a step forward to keeping your users aware and creating a long term business that will keep us and you, the developer, earning for the long run. We take the privacy of you and your users very seriously.
Some developers have also posted a message in their description letting users know that it may be flagged as a virus, but that it is not a virus
I hope this answers your question. If you have any more concerns, please let me know."
In addition, Google chose to present its "Disclosure of Ads to Users" using Startapp's EULA as an example of how to be transparent towards the end user.
Of course this doesn't change all anti viruses diagnostics but it does show that Google finds Startapp solution as very user friendly
Hope this helps

Admob alternative for banners only

Hi guys!
I had got admob and earning ~~40$ per day, and of course I get banned. I tried LeadBolt and earning 4$ per day....
Which ad network is the best for the banners only? The best alternative for Admob?

Same issue here

I dont think there is a better alternative for admob. Trust me I have tried plenty (inneractive worst by far) and the worst part about the those were their constant delayed payments, almost 4 months between payments. The fact that admob is google owned makes it much more credible.
You better contact admob about the issue.

I will never use anything associated with google to earn money, my AdSense accout got banned like yours when I started recieving more money, and Google asked me to prove that I was not cheating, instead of showing why they think I've cheated. It's not justly. After this I started using AirPush and recieved same moey amount without any problems

Why did you get banned in the first place?

I will never use anything associated with google to earn money, my AdSense accout got banned like yours when I started recieving more money, and Google asked me to prove that I was not cheating, instead of showing why they think I've cheated. It's not justly. After this I started using AirPush and recieved same moey amount without any problems

That's interesting. I am currently working on a game and I was planning on having Google Ads showing. I don't see why they would ban anyone if the number of downloads on the app is reasonable enough to show that it could generate the revenue you had. I'm curious about any insight you could offer on this

Dont you get 2 suspention warrnings before you get banned ? What did it say in the mail ? Also I think StartApp has banners.

admod is cool

Notifymob can offer banners as well as the "triple play" (new ad unit that displays three banners and has a better eCPM). PM me if you want to know more. Notify consistently outperforms other ad networks.

Hi guys!
I had got admob and earning ~~40$ per day, and of course I get banned. I tried LeadBolt and earning 4$ per day....
Which ad network is the best for the banners only? The best alternative for Admob?

Should I get 2 suspention warnings before they decide to ban my account? Is it written somewhere?

Maybe more, check Googles policy.

inMobi
mmedia
mopub
revmob
startapp
You can get a joint api + comparison graphs using AdBoost.
Just google "revenue adboost" and go to second result "Adience AdBoost".
or go to dashboard.adience.com
BTW I work for Adience, we did AdBoost

Best Ad network to monetize my APP

Hi guys
I'm looking for a good ad network to monetize my apps. What's the best network for native ads? With best fill rates and payouts? And which one are the worst and why?
Also if you know the same stuff about interstitial, that would be really helpful.
Any advise would be hugely appreciated! Please share your experience. Thanks

Admob - nice fill rate.

Hey, sorry for disturbing you. We are making native ads campaign and interested in buying whole inventory (yes, 100% fill rate).
Ping me if interested and what us here: hyperadx.com

Admob - Easy to implement and pay good revenue pay-per-click & install.
Leadbolt - Easy to implement to but pays only for Installs and rather than impressions or clicks.

For interstitital. I didn't use native. But it's very popular network and I think for native too.

Google Admob is good for native ads and for interstitial too. Good luck

admob is best
Sent from my LENOVO A760 using Tapatalk

I recommend admob. I've got around 50,000 impressions with 98% fill rate with admob. Admob pays well for clicks in USA, Italy, Japan, and some other rich countries (around 1$ per click). For other countries, including UK, it doesn't pay so well but it has coverage in almost all countries. In Pakistan and India, it pays around 0.02$ per click. On average, you might get more or less 0.20$ per click if your app is disturbed worldwide. So target the above mentioned countries if you want to make money with ads. With few users it is very difficult to reach the payout threshold i.e 100$. So you need many users and they must be frequent as well.

AdMob often works perfectly for that, but not in all cases. There are other ad networks which can beat it sometimes.
I'd recommend you to try ad mediation services. Mediation services aggregate the best demand offers from multiple networks, perform an auction between them and put the most profitable ad in your app. The main advantage is that you don’t have to sign up account for each network, set them up, integrate and control how they perform.
Speaking about myself, I've just switched to Appodeal, there's their kinda official topic in that subforum too, where they answer questions. I think you may try them

Ad mediation sounds really good, but for devs who are struggling to get installs will get stuck because they will not reach the payout threshold of either of the networks. Indie developers like me would want to receive the first payment as soon as possible, and it is already difficult to reach threshold of one network when you have so little number of installs.

You can try Appodeal. They have around 30 ad networks connected, but they create the accounts themselves and take care about the payout: there is an immediate payout feature, so when pay you in advance, there's no minimum amount.

What happens to your current earnings in admob? I mean if appodeal is paying me for admob then what would admob's console show? And please confirm that even if I have 1$ payable earnings, world appodeal still pay me? (Wire transfer does not cost anything)
And does admob allow such integration? Because the website's video tells me to install an extension which will run a script.

AdMob doesn't have a problem with mediation, there's a plenty of services and startups who use AdMob's advertisers. That's completely legal.
There's basically two options, you can set up an Appodeal account and use only it, then you won't even have the AdMob console, Appodeal will use their own accounts for your app. However, you will still be able to see the amount of impressions/clicks/etc each network gave you.
But if you want, you can connect your own AdMob account to Appodeal, in that case you'll be able to see AdMob's own stats in their console. In that case Appodeal will take care about all other networks above from AdMob.
If you want that $1 immediately, there's an immediate payout. There's about 2% cut, but you get it right away. That's because Appodeal pays you from their pocket, before ad networks wired anything at all.
