[Q] Anybody use Admob?

Hi!
I am now trying to implement admob ads in my android apps.
Test ads can be shown in the emulator properly in test mode.
However, when i disable test mode (remove the setTestDevice code) and try to display the live ads, no ads can be shown in both emulator & real device. In log can, a log claimed that there are no ads to be displayed.
In the admob screen, I found that the Fill rate is always 0%. I wonder is this the reason I got no ads to be displayed? If yes, how can i improve the fill rate?
Thanks!

hi, i just started using ads a few days ago and had the same problem, the app needs to be realeased and then used for a bit to increase the number of "requests" (a request is made everytime the program tries to access a new ad), once the # of request increases then the fill rate will increase (e.g. my one app was released friday and has had over 4,000 requests and the ad rate is about 57%). once the fillrate gets higher then you'll start seeing ads... you can go to the sites/apps section on admob (where it shows revenue and stuff) and go to your app and click "reporting", which gives you all the statistics of that app, the "impression" category tells you how many times ads actually showed up.

Thanks For your reply!
One more thing i want to know: does admob pay by impressions , or pay be clicks?
If only user clicks can generate revenue, then wt's the use of impressions?

Admob pays by clicks (at least in my case).
And as hyperbyteX stated, you need to release the app and wait a bit (depending on how popular it is) before you see any live ads.
Hope that helps

Im not sure I understand what you mean by what's the "use". Admob gives very detailed statistics about requests, impressions, CTR, eCPM and clicks. If you aren't interested in knowing those other fields, then ignore them. Most people are interested to see that kind of stuff though.

Impressions help you see how effective your Ads/ad placement is. Also sometimes Admod does not have any Ads to give to you(No one has bought ads that are targeted at you), thats why you don't always see ads.

HA~ I understand now~
Thanks for you guys' help~

Thank you that answered my question also because I have noticed that sometimes my app displays ads sometime not. Good to know that thats the reason.

Consider switching another Mobile Ad Network?
First time using Admob, I have the same problems like you. After do some research and try some other ad network, I recommend Adsota as an alternative. its eCPM is much better than Admob. It has quick and smooth payment. Work for IOS and Android and 100% Fill-rate. Adsota works better for me and I think It could work better for you. Give it a try.
You can find by googling "ads.appota".
Best of luck, mate!

A little guide to promoting your app

Promoting your app is one of the most important things you must do after relasing it, for some developers it's harder and for other it's easier;
More skilled and famous developers get automatically promoted by news websites as soon as they release an app, giving them an instant boost in downloads, unfortunatelly for us little developers we have to rely on out own strenghts.
There are a lot of ways to advertise your apps, some are free and for others you'll have to invest some money, some ways are better and some others are worse.
Free advertising:
Social networks:
The first thing that will come in mind for promoting an app is thru social networks, sharing the link for the play store with friends and other people is the best way to start, if someone likes your post they'll share it with others making it a viral spread of your word and your app
If you're a good developer and you make great apps it won't be difficult for people to talk about it
YouTube
Another great platform for advertising is YouTube, watching a short video is way better than reading something, and as always if it's enjoyable it will be shared by people.
There are 2 ways for advertising your app on YouTube.
1. Embedding an ad inside one of your videos like i did in those videos
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hglu42syEjA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrSszBzeSzo
2. Making a commercial video showing what your app can do, it's strenghts and why people should downlaod it, i didn't make one yet so i don't have anything to show you unfortunatelly
Make it good
The most obvious, make the app good, look at your competition, make the app better than their.
Something i see a lot in Android apps it the awful UI, the UI is the first thing people see, even before installing it, they can see the screenshorts of your app, and they decide if they want to install it or not.
Making a nice UI is important as the coding, if you're not a designer and can't do it hire one, there's a plenty of graphic designers willing to make a quick buck, maybe in exchange you can advertise his work, you can also contact me and we can arrange something.
Ways to attract users
Another great thing to do to attract users is to make some nice ads, spend a little time in photoshop and make some good feature and promo graphics for the play store, also when posting it in social networks etc. use those graphics, they'll attract more people than just plain text with a link
Here are some examples for my app Wakey
Feature:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
AD
Get your app reviewed
One of the best ways to get your app promoted for free is to get it reviewed by an Android news website, when i got my app reviewed on XDA it went from 3-5 downloads a day to 300 a day
Partnerships
When i released Wakey i've been contacted by the writer of geekshavelanded.com and he gave me the opportunity to promote my app even further, i've put a link to his website in my app and he've put a little ad for Wakey in the sidebar, this way i get more downlaods and he gets his website promoted aswell
Discounts
If your app is paid or have in app purchases, a nice way to get noticed it's to make some discounts, usually on major holidays like easter, christmas etc, a lot of developers make discounts and a lot of websites post a list of discounted apps during that period of time
Other
There are also other ways to promote your apps, like i'm doing right now, by writing this guide i'm promoting my app Wakey, i'm using it as a reference for this article so when you see the links, the graphics, you view them because you'd like to learn about promoting your apps and not because i'm imposing you to do so.
So hopefully i'll gain some downloads and purchases by doing so, also you'll be supporting my development (see what i did there ? )
Paid advertising
Web ads
There are plenty of advertising services out there, like AdMob or AdSense, you can use those to promote your apps on different websites.
Another way is to contact a single website and talk about placing a custom banner on their website
Giveaways
This is a very simple but effective form of advertising, who doesn't want something for free?
You can post an article or a post on a social network about the giveaway (you can giveaway all sorts of things, from t shirts to smartphones etc.) people will be more interested in buying/downloading your app if they know they might win something
Printing
You can print some business cards and give them to people you encounter, also if you have a bigger budget you can print some billboards
TV/Radio commercials
Very effective way but also very expensive, but for bigger developers it might be a good solution
As i said there are a lot of possibilities, some more and some less effective, it's up to you choosing which one is the best for you, your app and your audience
You can follow me on G+ or YouTube where i will be posting some tutorials on android app design
Wakey on Play Store

Thanks for the helpful information.
I need to do some more research into what those feature and promo images in the dev console actually do. There wasn't much information there so I just left them blank. But I see how they may be useful.

Here's a little image to explain it, the feature image is the one shown on the page of your app, the promo image is the one shown when your app is chosen by google as "Staff pick"

If you're trying to get more downloads to your app, then updating your app every now and then is a must do.
I have done it and found it very helpful in increasing the numbers!

I would like everyone to know that I have started a free review service, so if anyone in the process of promoting their android app, they could consider requesting a free review from me!

Cool post man, thanks for sharing. Promoting, I've found, is quite hard for me and I'm not enjoying it too much.
When you say "I got my app reviewed on XDA", how did you go about doing that? It might be an idea for me to do that too.

I just posted my app in the forums and a writer liked it and reviewed it

Thanks fir your great post. I have developed a developer app (see my signature).. is there a good way to reach the developers???

Any tips on recording for YouTube or getting the app reviewed?
Is there any social network focused on app development?
Thanks!

For YouTube reviews I usually just search YouTube for people who do it and message them, asking if they'd like to review the app.
I also have a list of sites I email when I release a new app although being a small developer getting a response or even the email opened is difficult. I'd also say don't underestimate the power of the sites which have like 15 views, one of those 15 viewers might just write for LifeHacker
Cross promotion of apps if you have more then one is also a great way to get traction

Thanks for the suggestions, I won't underestimate small sites! Are you perhaps writing for LafeHacker? :fingers-crossed:
I'm concerned about the YouTube approach, for example:
Mute recording or discussed review? In that case, translated to every supported language?
3rd person custom recording or recording from a paid app?
Version for tablets and phones?
How impacts in the views/install having a YouTube review linked to the Google Play app site?

Ha ha I wish, my (peronsally) worst app got on LifeHacker but since then I haven't even been able to get a response from them lol
As for YouTube it's entirely up to you how you want to do it. Personally I prefer 3rd party reviews because what I would find the most interesting thing about my own app you average user wouldn't even notice. So for me a 3rd party review usually highlights what would attract people to the app. Having a video linked to your app page I would say is definitely a must though.

Nice article.. thank you!

I published recently my first app as well - Easy Bookcase and for the moment it's a complete failure. I can't get even 5 downloads It's less than a week since I've published it and there are many similar apps out there but I was more prepared for people not liking it rather than ignoring it :silly:
Does anybody know how the search results on the marked are sorted. I've added enough keywords but my app is on page 20

Google uses a lot of data for the Google Play Search.
You can use some standard SEO.
Moreover, the following variables are also tracked and used by Google Play:
Installs
Long installs
Uninstalls (negative impact)
User interactions (achievements, leaderboards, ...)
Unfortunately, you cannot control directly those 4 parameters. Google uses that to promote quality.
---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------
I recommend the video Getting Discovered on Google Play from the last Google I/O.
Everyone that publish an app on Google Play should watch it.
There's a lot of precious information, and Google doesn't communicate frequently on this subject!

Thank you all. That's definitely a useful information to begin with.

Hi,
My team too has released Docu Scan app, a unique scanning app with password protection feature.
Though its a free app with in-app purchases and we are getting decent response, I am not very happy with the results.
We expected it to do much better than what it is doing at the moment. Can you guys try the app and tell me where we are lagging?
Thanks in advance

promote your app
Hello, guys
I do have some suggestions to promote your apps.
Here are some suggestions I read from a post recently, I think it will be helpful for you guys.
1 Optimize the app title and keywords. When people are looking for apps in app store, they prefer to search some keywords like shooting game, office software and etc. Optimize the title of your app’s title and description is the first thing you should do after you have developed your app.
2 Make an explainer video for your app. Making an explainer video is a very cost and effective app marketing strategy, because it constantly increase the conversion rate of your app. 70% of people prefer to purchase or download app after watched a video, they are also more satisfied than those who didn't. Because a video could give the user an effective preview of the app, to help they understand an app before they actually own it. There are many great app explainer video service providers such as Appgovideo.com, Appegges.com and etc.
3. Start a blog. This is free and quite effective as well. You may announce and update the news of your app, your company and your team in your blog and you will be able to build great publicity for your own organization. The reason is simple, every people love stories.
wish to get more suggestions from you guys!

Free marketing is a drop in the ocean of ad-based installs
Sadly, there aren't too many free tricks one can use to make the app more popular. There are millions of apps and games, and reviews are not working so well. People are just not going to the web to search reviews to decide what games to download, especially since the majority is free anyway.
This is why the app review and discovery service XYO had to pivot, because despite huge PR efforts they did not get enough traction to help users discover apps on the web. Users discover apps by looking at the top 10, 20 maximum top 50 games and choose what they want to play.
So, if you need to get some money to market your app through advertising. Here is what you can do:
1. Decide what country will be your first market. Make sure it is a "wealthy" but relatively small country (try Scandinavia maybe or Switzerland). Do not launch in more than one app store and in more than one country. Concentrate your budget in one place.
2. Estimate how many downloads you need to get to the top ten. People will tell you that your CPI should be around $1,2 but it is long and hard journey to get there, so initially you are looking at $2-$4 per install, unless you get yourself a deal with fraudsters which will sell you dead users on a CPI basis.
3. Multiply how many downloads it takes to get to the top 10 by the cost of install. Plan to stay there for a week, or two, before organic installs (1-4 times of paid installs).
4. Start making money in that country and build up capacity to move on to the next geography.
Then you have to optimise on what ads to use. Banners suck, native interactive, video ads are all the buzz and they show more conversions (up to 5 x for native ads). Check out our podcast (search for AppInTop on your podcast provider or TuneIn app) - we talk a lot about app advertising, native ads, interactive ads, fraud etc.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for your advice, but I think that in order to make money with a game the first thing is the quality of that game. Before think about spend money to get downloads, have to test the acceptance of the game.
Also very interesting tips :good:

I am working for a company . We usually follow this strategy when we want to target a continent in particular. We initially create an app for a specific region and then leverage that downloads and add support to multiple countries.

Airpush, StartApp, MobileCore, appnext, Appflood or RevMob. Which one to choose?

I need to choose one of these networks to monetize my app. Which one pays well, on time and without hassle? Do you have any experience with any of them?
I will use them to display interstitial and banner ads.

i'm testing revmob and it appears to be good

Android Monetization with Airpush
Hi sammogains,
My name is Nick and I am part of the publisher solutions team at Airpush.
I hope you will be able to give us a try. We have solid CPMs and fillrates world wide for interstitial and banners. Our newest SDK also includes a pay per install ad type where you can earn up to $0.04 per USA user install and opt in, in addition to display advertising revenue.
PM me if you have any questions, or want to chat further.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi There we are from ArjeriaApps.Developers. You can use Airpush.:good:

I experienced app flood is good for games and performs bad on apps.
If you get world wide user then you should always go for admob because they have ad for every country with fill rate at least 95%. Use admob mediation and apply 2-3 network and see what performs best for you
I have also seen that the network which is performing great on my app may not perform decent on your app.....it just depend on app to app and person to person ....kinda depends on one's luck

7724
Did you guys try to experience with PPD (pay-per-download) model?
On AppFlood we offer Splash Screen SDK - it displays one full-screen interstitial at launch and you can earn revenue based on PPD and eCPM (of the ads displayed on splash screen). You can also choose to implement more ad units later within your app, so that will get you even more opportunity to earn cash.
You can contact me here for more info or at: [email protected]

NOTIFY has amazing ad units and solid CPMs. Our banners and Interstitial ads perform very well in all GEOs.

Check us out now! Don't miss the opportunity. SDK is super simple to integrate and is solid code.

Why do you have to choose one?
Why not try multiple?

Because Ad mediation isnt my style, personally I feel better with using one sole provider...
With that said, lots of my friends use mediation on Admob and they "maximize" their inventory like that..

But in most cases, one ad network will not be able to handle all of your traffic and get you the best results.

Have heard great things about Chartboost and Applovin. Out of the ones you mentioned, maybe StartApp and Appflood would be a good.
What is your genre and main geos you have inventory in?

Hi sammogains,
My name is Nick and I am part of the publisher solutions team at Airpush.
I hope you will be able to give us a try. We have solid CPMs and fillrates world wide for interstitial and banners. Our newest SDK also includes a pay per install ad type where you can earn up to $0.04 per USA user install and opt in, in addition to display advertising revenue.
PM me if you have any questions, or want to chat further.
Thanks,

I confirm this suggestion.
In my apps, often, I use 2 or 3 interstitials of different Ad Networks. I call them in a random rotation. For example, in MainActivity, I call randomly mobileCore, AirPush and StartApp. At the end, I call them equally, and so I can understand which of them, at parity of impressions, generate to me more earnings

We tested over 30 different ad provider and mediation networks and can say Appodeal
is by far the best monetization plattform with the highest revenue and fillrates.
The eCPM is ALWAYS between $ 10 and $ 30! Thats the highest eCPM we've ever seen.
The SDK is very easy to integrate! Registration only with email, password and name.
Appodeal serve ads based on revenue.
See the stats. There is nothing more to say

Best fraud of ever, best fraud in the world!!!
Appodeal close your account without a reason and steal your money! The same which has made in past TapContext...any of you remember TapContext?
Appodeal is no good...by an old developer and with experience

Hi sammogains,
Often times a company which pays really well won't last long, and a company which pays on time often doesn't pay well. If you come across one which does both, well then that company is a keeper. Typically companies which pay very well often times have a small user base and hence each user gets a bigger piece of the pie, and as word spreads your slice gets smaller or in the worst case scenario, run out of money.
Right now, Teads is in our beta testing phase (small user base) and we are heavily funded ($30 million round in January) meaning we pay on time, everytime. On top of that we are compensating developers for successful integrations to get the ball rolling with our premium video ads. We work with great advertisers such as Playstation, Levi's, Honda, to name a few.
If you'd like to learn more about Teads and this opportunity, or even for a chat, you can reach me at [email protected] .
Thanks!
Melvin

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.

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.
