Monetize apps w/o UX impact
One of our clients has a monetization option that doesn't actually show ads in the app but in nearby (to the phone) ads on connected displays (on taxi tvs, gas pump displays, kiosks, billboards, etc). Mira.is is an SDK with minimal resource impact, anonymized info (they only collect the phone id, but still they anonymize that) and the CPMs are pretty strong.
Until they open the beta up, the only way to try it is to either sign up and go into the queue or talk to the founder, but I'm happy to connect anyone here w/him to see if your app is a good match for the beta. I know he's really looking for app developers now to help try it out before the official launch. You can PM me or email me at [email protected] if you want me to make an intro.
I'm biased, because, like I said, he's a client, but with the outcry for ad blocking on mobile browsers, I think it's pretty clear that users don't enjoy in-app ads, and Mira is one of those companies that has a strong solution for monetization w/o UX impact.

I have a proposition for any developer that's up to it. I need to build an app for Directv (also Dish in the future) technicians. It will include the following features:
-Contact list with important DTV contacts, with the option to add custom contacts for supervisors, etc.
-Browser add-on or mod of some kind that will allow the use of the camera as a barcode scanner to populate fields within the browser.
-Spreadsheet or something that can use camera with barcode scan to keep track of inventory, it will need an option to save a file every day and be able to email it to the desired recipient.
-Spreadsheet to keep track of jobs completed and amounts to be paid.
-Expense tracker that will be able to take pic of receipts, input and track mileage, and other expenses.
-Satellite finder, there is already an app out there called Dish Pointer Pro, it uses the camera to show you approx. position of satellites in the sky. If we can build something similar only geared only for Directv satellites, that would be great. If not maybe just a shortcut to that app.
-List or rather searchable database (maybe on a webserver if file size is an issue) of all Directv remote control codes for TV, DVD, etc.
-Flashlight
I will be selling this app in the market and will split profits 50-50 with the developer for as long as they continue to develop and support it.
I can do the graphics in photoshop (I am a amateur web designer but I am pretty good) and all of the marketing for this software via my Installation supply website at www.lcisupply.co and word of mouth to other installation companies here in AZ.
I will also be developing PC software and a Web Interface for supervisors to log into and check on inventory and expenses etc. to go along with it in the near future.
My goal is to develop an all-around software suite, that will make the technicians jobs easier and also help the installation companies keep track of inventory and pay for their techs. The android app is just the beginning of what I hope will become a widely used technician management system.
Please ask any questions you may have.
PM me for serious interest in becoming the developer.

looking for admob like stuff.
admob simply too slow to show ads before user see the ads. instead they close the window.
you can try to use UnityAds service
its quite simple and easy to setup, but their support is so very slow

they use CPA model, but ads is quick, also, support is always there anytime you have some question.
MobClix, 2nd in popularity after AdMob, easy to integrate, multiple ad networks, pays more than AdMob but has high payment threshold before it will pay out, reportedly pays with 3 months delay.
MobFox, targets high revenue ads in US and Europe, allows you to control the minimum ad-click price.
MoPub, new kid on the block, multiple ad networks, different ad types (banner, full screen, video ads). Currently working on support for in-app payments, not really turnkey integration.
LeadBolt, multiple ad types like interstituals and video ads, high fill rate.
Airpush, pushes ads to the notification pane, some apps that use Airpush have been temporarily banned from Android Marketbecause users regarded this as malicious app behaviour. Has opt-out system either by entering your IMEI or installing an opt-out app.
Sure, there are quite a few networks out there to test, but results will depend heavily on your genre/user geos and also the active advertisers they have on the roster.
We have a full list here, with all their data: Thalamus.co
It's used more on the UA side, and we have average CPI + install rates by genre/platform/country, but it should be able to give you a good sense of potential eCPMs and other networks you might want to add into the mix.
We seek developers from any part of the world for an innovative mobile app project.
This project is dedicated solely on Football in a country in Africa.
For the eventual developer of this app, all the payment will be done through this medium. Although we are willing to pay between $1500-$1800 or maximally pays $2000 on this job
PROJECTS’ MAJOR COMPONENTS
News feeds, Videos/highlight shows, live score, Interactive communities, Feedback/suggestions
OVERVIEW
To design, built, operate and later transfer a football (soccer) mobile app.
OBJECTIVES
To pull news and other specified contents from web-portals, blog sites to the app. All this must be done without slowing down the app. invariably; we are talking about a sorting algorithm that is robust, fast and easily assessable to the app. IT MUST NOT SLOW DOWN THE APP.
Alternatively, creating a pool at which the app can interact with. All the news, videos et al will be aggregated in that pool and the app can eventually interact with it.
SPECIFICATIONS
The major components will make use of strong sorting algorithm because for instance, all the news components will be sourced from different web sources.
For LIVE-SCORE components, we are looking at an sms-based auto-app-update-lives-core. For instance match updates can be sent via sms to a dedicated phone number which must have been programmed to automatically update on the app. However, we will always appreciate if there are better, and cost effective options to achieve this feat.
OUR REQUESTS
The design must be simple but captivating,
The navigation must be easy
Must be on different version of Androids, iOS, Window Phone and Blackberry
Please when applying, endeavor to email me for further briefing.
The match fixtures, result and league table components must be easily navigable and more importantly, easily updatable.
The featured football/soccer clubs must have their logos attached to them. (We will supply those logos)
The app logo and naming must be unique. We will welcome inputs from you on this.
We are proposing a back-end kind of connection to match-day videos/highlights on a website. This app must have proper referencing of the source website, same goes for the news too.
The feedback component of the app must be able to send feedbacks/suggestions to the app admin.
We are yet to decide if the app will have an authentication pane with it, where one can sign-up, have a profile and log-in and out. But if it will, then it must be very simple- Username, phone number, email address, supported football club. The user log in page must be able to allow each user to log in automatically.
The app must have an interactive community, where app user can intearact based on the football/soccer clubs they support.
CONCLUSION
Please note that we are more interested in anyone/group that can achieve our BOT (Build, Operate and Transfer) option for us. We will strictly follow your own proposed remuneration afterwards.
There will be an MOU to be jointly signed by both party before the start of the project . This MOU must state your specified time frame for setting up the project, and also operating it.
Please note that all financial consideration will be paid to you ONLY when you are about to transfer the project to us.
More importantly, the App must be able to have specified sizes of Advertisement pane (This is a very important component).
For the eventual developer of this app, all the payment will be done through this medium. Although we are willing to pay between $1500-$1800 or maximally pays $2000 on this job

Hi there,
I am trying to figure out which ad network to use.
I am about to release an arcade - genre Android game, and am looking for an ad network to serve the highest cpms for interstitials and banners.
I want high fill rates, high gauranteed/cpm floor rates, and a low minimum payout since I am just starting.
Anything helps!
Thanks!
All ad networks have their ups and downs. They'll have a good campaign, then it will end, then later they'll get another, and so on. It's best to have multiple networks and mediate them. That way you get the benefit of the ups, and can mitigate the downs.
Using Enhance®, it has never been easier to integrate 3rd party services into your project or to keep them up to date. (Ads, Mediation, Analytics, Attribution, Crash Reporting and more) With little to NO coding at all, Enhance® will have you ready to roll in a matter of minutes. No more hours of coding! No more SDK integration!
We support many of the top networks and as mentioned earlier there are other 3rd party services that Enhance® supports and offers as well.
What does all of this mean? It means, SDK’s ARE DEAD!!! It means you don't have to spend all of your time implementing or updating SDK's. No more hours of coding just to find out that you don't like a network or a network doesn't work good for you.... Enhance® allows you to quickly swap out SDK's so you can check out different networks more easily! No more time spent just to bring your current SDK's up to the newest version... With Enhance®, you can be done in a few clicks of your mouse…
For more information on the fastest way to implement and update SDK's, follow the link : fgl(dot)io/xt9
Good Luck!

Airpush is dead, Amazon might be too complicated and demanding to apps, FAN seems to be OK
Addvertize.com is a brand-new mediation network and app protection service in one click. Mostly it is focused on smart trigger-based ad serving, which generates legit additional advertising revenue stream for Google Play or non-Google Play users, depending on your settings.
This is complex solution targeted mainly for Google Play app developers and publishers, but also for 3rd party appstore publishers, traffic brokerage professionals and other specialists from various mobile niches and verticals. The solution is quite unique in many ways and doesn't have any alternatives on the market, and here is why:
One-click SDK integration:
Since the solution utilizes a trigger-based ad serving, it doesn't need a time-consuming painful integration. Couple of clicks, few minutes of waiting-and you are good to go.
100% APK protection:
80% of free apps and almost 100% of paid apps get hacked or injected with adware, malware, miners e.t.c., that's why Addvertize developed some proprietary protection tools in their SDK. You can be sure that your app will be protected from major adware networks and projects. Meaning that only you will be getting the traffic,not them. The more hard-earned money from ads you will get - the better for everybody.
Protection from SDK removal:
The other feature that guarantees you an increased ad income. No matter where your app ends up in the world wide web - you will be getting ad revenue from that. Just publish it, let it go and enjoy the profit. If your app is worth anything, it will be eventually distributed on various 3rd party channels and Google Play aggregators. This is especially important for paid apps, which tend to have up to 90% illegal traffic from hacked and cracked APKs.
Trigger-based ad serving system:
Addvertize utilizes a bunch of triggers that can cause an ad impression - an app launch, a returning user from "recent apps" tab, a hardware "back" button press, screen unlock or simply an impression on timer. All of those are highly customizable and can be combined and limited in any way, giving a perfect blend of non-irritating, yet profitable ad experience.
Additional monetization:
Hence the name, Addvertize is focused on additional monetization, without breaking your existing ad model. That means that the integration and the set-up process should be as easier as possible for you. Just upload your APK, set up few things and that's it!
Main monetization:
Addvertize' system is flexible enough to be your main advertising solution. They work with major and trusted ad networks like Startapp, Mobfox, inMobi and others, which means that those ads will be totally legit and Google Play compliant.
Different ads behavior for 3rd party users:
This is a part of the smart ad serving mechanism - you can set the system to show ads for non-Google Play users only. Too many of ads for Google Play installs can affect your app rating and promotion strategy. But why not to monetize those additional non-GP installs safely? All you need is just one APK for all of those traffic sources.
Remote control over ads:
One more part of the Addvertize' smart system - no need to re-upload your APK in order to change ad serving pattern. All is controlled remotely. For example, investing thousands of dollars in live installs and skyrocketing your app in top of charts is a very important - and expensive - venture. You wouldn't like those users to get bombarded with ads, right? But, having reached the top, why not to loose in the grip and turn on more ads, to compensate the expenses? With Addvertize this is manageable in one click.
Full Google Play compliance:
Addvertize show only Google Play policy compliant ads from legit ad suppliers. You can be sure that you won't have any issues with your Google Play account.
Referral system 5% and more:
The solution might be very useful for lots of publishers and other mobile specialists. And since that community is small enough, it makes sense getting advertised by word-of-mouth. Addvertize offer a flexible referral system in return for that favor.
NET30, convenient payout systems:
The project is offering NET30 payments, which is a standard for most of legit ad serving platforms. Also, a number of payout systems is available: Wire, PayPal, ePayments, Webmoney, other systems are negotiable. The minimum payout is $50.
