Make $ from in-app Ads?

How does making money from putting an ad in your app work? (AdMob etc)
I.E. do you get paid for each time someone clicks an ad? And how much?

I think the developer gets paid for each ad that is displayed, and then probably another payment if someone clicks on an ad.

There is only 1 smart way i've seen this used. Ad-filled FREE version of the app, tell people to buy the REAL app for ad-free service.
the only time i've ever clicked on one of those was on accident (Fat thumb)
otherwise, i boycott all ad-filled apps hah

Imo apps with ads aren't a bad idea. Much better than a trial version of something.

Any idea how much?
I tried Googling for this info but got nowhere. I get tons and tons and tons of crap about paying AdMob to get YOUR ads into apps, but not developers getting paid for OTHER people's ads in their apps.

The top 10 apps on the iPhone make about 400-1000 dollars daily. I read an article about it but I can't find it. I don't think any android apps can come close to that much in advertising dollars right now but if you write several apps like that do this, I'm sure it can add up.

Admob or other ad provider

Hi, my question is really odd so I hope this is the right place
I'm mobile developer and I make a game so I will upload in google play...
but I 've a problem, Iwant to gain money with ads..
but I can't receive any payment, for this year, (don't ask me why ) so my question is this:
I use admob and he pays every $20 or more so can I raise the "barrier" to $200.000 or there's a way to suspend for a year the payments?
or there's any other ads provider (better if good ads provider) where I can choose when I get payments....
thanks

LOL you can transfer to me, i will care of your money
well you can set up admob account if you dont set up payment settings they will "Hold" your money to the next month, so you only set up when you are ready tto receive money and thats all

Leadbolt has a minimum of $100 before they pay out. They use paypal, your bank, or payooner. Payout is based on NET 15 once a month after you reach $100 of course. Also you have to request a payment, they wont simply pay you lol so you could let it build to say $500 then request a payment.
They offer all sorts of ads, notification, icon, audio (wtf lol), banner, app wall, etc. I only use the notification one since that works best for my app type (live wallpaper).

Never used admob to much code to implement lol. Leadbolt is simple.
Note 2 ftw

Well I am having a good time with inmobi so they are worth a shot but honestly, I never really liked Admob

I use admob and my CPC is 0.55 I make a average $8 - $20 a day.

I think that you are missing something Admob is not that complicated, you can set it by importing sdk and adding a banner in XML, that's all. but if you want to optimize it as i do, you set a listener, so when there is no Admob ads (0.01% of the cases) you serve other ads. I Used Leadbolt but i removed it as some antivirus apps detect it as a malware (Comodo i think) and they don't pay well (some clicks get no payment at all).
I recommend you using AdMob with a listener (or mediation in your acount), so when it fails you can show other ad networks (I recommend Millennial Media and InMobi) :good:

Which method is actually better in Your opinion? The custom handling or meditation by google ?

Good question
In my optinion, it's better to use mediation offered by AdMob (if ad networks are supported) as it will avoid you adding SDK so make your apk smaller, and you can change params without updating your app. But it needs some work to set it in your acount, I don't use it yet as i handeled that myself with the best combination for me (AdMob -> MMedia -> InMobi) and don't have more time to spend on ad optimisation. I still recommend you using a listener for AdMob ads for failed requests to show another ad netework for more security

try to use paypal payment.. and don't withdraw your paypal for a year.. how about that?

alternative to Admob
I am good with adsota and yeah, I have never liked Admob.
If you want swift, smooth payment with decent eCPM, you can use Adsota. (googe "ads.appota")

Which Ad network is generating more revenue with Push,Icon and Smartwall

Hello Friends,
I want to use different ad network for Push,Icon and Smartwall in an app. Anyone can suggest me which ad network generating more revenue with specific ad.
Thanks,

I would not use push ads. They are recognized as malware by some AntiVirus programms. There will be negative comments.

Google take the Push Ads like malware, and is removing apps from Market...
My recommendation: use non intrusive ads generally, or if you have the posibility (a game for example), use in-app payments and TapJoy like ad network.

I think it's in the Play Store guidelines.
I do know, however, that people will be uninstalling with anything bigger than simple banners. I know I do .

I agree that push ads are just annoying. You've got to have a pretty amazing product in order for most people to deem push ads acceptable. Though, if they pay enough then maybe you can afford to gain only 5-10% active installs.

However, the position in the Google Play search results is influenced heavily by your active installs.
So it will be very far down the list.

Air push has got to be one of THE most intrusive ****ing ad offerings out there. Unless you want to burn at the stake (and by me personally) don't EVER consider pushing this malware like piece of **** out to users devices!!!
You should be ashamed for even considering.
That and a number of others are on my HIGHLY most hated list at the moment. I would rather pay for an app than have that crap on my phone. Maybe take my last words into consideration eh?

What do u think about StarApplication?
There's a lot of ad networks that uses flexible monetize.
It doesn't have to be ad push. I agree it's so annoying.
A couple of them have a 'exit ad' sdk.
What do u all think about Star Application?

Try this one...... I think its good... http://startapp.com/rfulyhs

Admob is fine
I am satisfied with admob. It has no special ads, but neither Leadbolt nor Airpush brought me more money, than admob.

That's because this is not a Background App & you have many Click

Please use Interstitals or creative ads to get higher revenues in any ad networks..

Hello @m4manish8248, you can have a look at Pollfish. Pollfish provides a new interactive monetization method for mobile apps, delivering surveys instead if ads. Each completed survey through your app pays minimum $0.30.

In my experience, Adsota is good
I have great experience in Push, Icon, and Smartwall with Adsota and its eCPM is good.
You can find it by googling "ads.appota".
Best of luck, man.

Adsota for the win
its eCPM with Push, ICon, and Smartwall is good. You can find it by googling "ads.appota"

You can also try video ads with Teads. We offer great CPM's, ad units created with the user in mind, and premium advertisers only. You may be thinking why haven't you heard of Teads before. Well the reason is because we just moved into the app space, and currently beta testing our SDK. During this phase, each successful integration will be compensated for.
If you'd like to learn more about our offering, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly at [email protected]
Thanks!

appbrain applift - is it worth spending any money?

Hi guys,
Does anybody has some experience with AppBrain and their paid application promotion services? Is it worth spending any money?

Good question. I think that if you have a highly valuable app, it really worth it as you pay about 20 cents per install that you will get back after only 2 to 4 clicks on ads. It's aslo useful to get exposure to countries where your app is not known yet. In other cases it doesn't worth it

Thanks! Until now I found only AppBrain - do You know about any other such service?

Yep! If you mean CPI ad networks, i recommend you Appia. I use their offerwall, it performs at least as AppBrain offerwall
I mean in the publisher side, it must be the same from advertiser side.
You can do it on facebook too, it will cost you a little bit more but it worth to give it a try as they offer about 40$ for your first compaign and they allow you to target users with age, area, devices and even preferences (where you can select all what can be related to android and to your app)

Chartboost - is a good ad network?

I need to choose some good network to monetize my app, and i want to try Chartboost. Do you have any experience with it? Does it pays well, on time and without hassle? And of course what eCPM do you have with it... Waiting for yours recomendation.

Last time i used ADmob, but soon i was banned there and wanna find alternative...

Hey Andrew
Did Admob give you a reason why you were banned ? Most ad networks (I work for one) have similar content guidelines and policies. There is a chance that if Admob banned you for some content violation, other ad networks also might do so.

Chartboost quite good for Interstitial, always pay on time. Ecpm is very high at the beginning but it will down later.

Chartboost always my first choice for ads networks, reasons:
- easy to integrate, they have complete plugins for all platform, we don't need third party plugins
- I like the dashboard, many information we can drill down
- from eCPM perspective...sometime good ($10)...sometime bad ($0:crying....mostly average ($0.8 - $1.5), but i think this happen to all ads networks, sometime they got big client with big budget and the other day they got client with tight budget, that's life...:angel:

I would reccommend Chartboost, super easy to implement also

Chartboost problems!
Hi guys...seems that chartboost have a lag today or something else, but i have a little bit problem with it...It just shows the similar intersitial ads in my game every time. I try to make 10-15 impressions and all time i see only "Game of War". Then i just reboot my game, and see, what do you think? "Game of War" of course 10 times in a row. Then i wait a hour. And try one more: i seen an 25 impressions with game "Solitaire". It's a little bit strange, coz yestarday it deliver every new impression with new game ads. Today it always the same. Did somebody have a problem like this?
Maybe i will create a thread in this section, to generate more useful answers.

Hey, I think I have come acrossed the same questions before. my publisher manager said that, that is because there is only on ads in your country, so the ad will be only show one game.

Have heard nothing but good things about them.
However, there are many other options out there that may be better for your geos/genre, a list of which you can find here: Thalamus.co
It's used more on the UA front with data on average CPIs + Install rates by genre/platform/country, but should give you a good sense of their eCPMs to see which others you can throw in the mix.
