AdAbouts.com is an up and coming Ad Exchange with an emphasis on being made by Developers for Developers.
Through years of working with ad exchanges ourselves we have determined one of the biggest problems we have encountered is the inability to determine how much money we make vs how much money the corporate machine makes and how we can increase our piece of the pie.
One thing we know for sure, we make the same amount of money per a click no matter what ad and it doesn't really change.... why? Does AdMob make the same money off each click and how much money do they make off the click? Its a black box that I'm sure is fully of cold hard cash.
We seek to disrupt the mobile advertising machine and bring transparency and a boat load of other changes YOU want to the people through a very involved developer community.
We are creating a single SDK to integrate that will work with many ad exchanges simultaneously to create what we are calling Enhanced Real Time Bidding.
This will allow your app to intelligently serve the ad that not only has the highest payout available between multiple ad exchanges but to will also take into account the quality score of the ad being served.
We also are creating new ad formats that can be used in a complementary fashion to your existing ad streams if you want to try out AdAbouts without disrupting you current revenues.
The last great feature I want to tell you about is what we are calling Location 2.0. This patented method of hyper local location technology will ensure that not only the accuracy you provide is of the highest accuracy but should increase the dependability to advertisers and in turn increase revenues.

Hi guys...
I don't know where else to ask, so I thought maybe some of you guys could help me out.
A while ago I made a free2play online game, and published it on Play Market. After my game was gone frome the Top New Free chart, the downloads has dropped significantly, so I decided to advertise my app via AdMob.
After the game has been promoted to 40K users, I've had... 15 new downloads in total. I'm sure Google would not cheat, as there were lots of others that have promoted their apps this way. Also, the referral link I've been using is working fine as I checked it myself. But I decided to double-check and purchased 5000 banner-clicks from the guys that has an Android app with lots of users. And I've had 3 downloads out of that.
So I was wondering... Is it possible that due to some software, or locale, or hardware, or any other issues, something could prevent people from downloading my game over the refferal link? What could be those issues? Or is this a real conversion rate? If you had used AdMob, what conversion rate did you have?
Any suggestions are much appreciated.
I had a similarly bad experience on admob as well. I wouldn't advise promoting your app there unless you've got extra money to spare.
Also, I've realized that the type of ad you put on there will have an impact. If you choose their standard ad, you will get the benefit of double tap verification and avoid accidental clicks. If you put a custom ad, you will lose that safety feature because a single click will open up the referral link.
Try pay-per-install services
I have the same situation in Admob. My best experience was with AppBrain. You pay for installs not for clicks.
I got the same problem too but eventually solve it by switching from CPM to CPI. However, the incident made me wonder: "should I always depend on Admob?".
So I decide to combine several Ad networks. It works. And I realize something about Admob:
Pros: It is reliable and has huge users database. Admob is backed by Google - a prestigious corporation who tracks every steps of anyone who use its service.
Cons:
- Its eCPM is low (I don't know exactly why but everytime I try another Ad network, they outperform Admob in terms of eCPM. I guess that Admob know it has advantages over competitors when it comes to reputation and users database, so It charge advertisers and publishers more)
- Its ban users more frequently. (Some of my friends' accounts got banned because Google thinks they was cheating, while infact he didn't. It was very difficult for him to reach Google support to recover his accounts).
after combining Admob and with Airpush, Leadbolt, StartApp, ChartBoost, I end up with Adsota - a lesser known ad network. Adsota is an has much higher eCPM, 100% fill-rate, and swift payment, various advertisng forms. You can find it by googling "ads.appota".
Best of luck, mate!
Hello everyone, I'd like to present developers with an opportunity to make money with ease on android. I have been a developer myself for 4 years now, and after uploading thousands of apps I have decided to launch my own ad network along side with a semi-automated app deployment service.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you our eCPMs are better then everyone and what not, But what I am going to tell you what seperates my network from others is we focus on the developer. How can developers deploy more quality apps? Which in turn means more high quality traffic for advertisers and more conversions.
We've spent years developing popular apps and now they are free for any developer to use and upload to the google play store. Instead of worrying about how to monetize or how to integrate an SDK, We've done it for you, You can still use your private apps with our SDK via standard implementation methods, but we are also offering developers another route also.
We believe in always developing which is why we are looking for testers to test our platform and tell us what needs to be improved, added or taken out. We'll be offering developers $100 ad credit, along side with offering developers $100 ad credit to run campaigns for their apps. Our Payment terms are bi-weekly for developers.
If you are interested in being a beta tester or looking to run campaigns please send me an e-mail @ [email protected][dot]com or visit www[dot]fingertise[dot]com for our ad network and www[dot]appslabmarket[dot]com for our app deployment service.
Thank you,

Any geos/genres you specialize in?
and what is your intended payment policies? I am using Adsota - they pay me every 30 days no matter how much I earn.
Hi,
I would like to Introduce Ogury Ltd, a relevance based ad network dedicated to monetizing android apps in the utmost appealing way to your users and yourself.
Our founders have 6 years in the advertising business and during this time revealed there was a flaw in the mobile advertising market; the ads displayed are not relevant enough to the individual user, which has led to a lower click through rate and a lower CPM. This being noticed, they created Ogury.
Our solution shows only very high quality and global ad campaigns, which are relevant to your user regardless of where they are located in order to ensure they stay satisfied. We offer a guaranteed CPM of $15, the highest in the market. The reason we can afford to pay you such a high CPM is because our click through rate is very healthy. We work along side other ad networks as a top up service to maximize your revenue!
Integration of our SDK only takes 20 minutes and can be done very easily, not to mention we have an incredible tech team prepared if you have any questions. The Interstitials we show are full page and have two opt out options so your active users will not be aggravated.
We look forward to hearing from you

Do you have any examples of advertisers that you guys consistently work with? With so many options for networks out there, there need to be more data points on average eCPMs by genre/geo and fill rates as integrating a new SDK is time consuming..
What is your payment policies? I am using Adsota - they pay me every 30 days no matter how much I earn.
Hey guys!
Saw that thread about your network http://forum.xda-developers.com/monetization/mobile-ad-networks/one-month-ogury-ecpm-25-t2882858 There were some weird things, but still have some questions: 1) How do you guarantee $15 CPM (how do you provide "healthy CTR" and what does it mean) 2) How does you payout system works, do you charge any fees and how does Ogury earn? 3) Do you support video ads?
$15 guaranteed CPMs sound pretty amazing.. can you elaborate a little more on how that works?
Best type of ad to promote mobile apps
When advertising your app to other countries start from the grass roots level which is pinpointing the countries which you will advertise first. This is important so will have a much clearer picture on who you would will to sell you app to.
Once you establish the list of countries the next thing that you should do is to localize your app. English may be the medium where individuals from different countries understand each other but what else could you do to attract more people to your app? Incorporate their local language in your app. Not all people can thoroughly understand English and are drawn to pay more attention to things that they could understand.
Now after doing all those things, you need to find a DSP (demand side platform) which has self-serve RTB(real time bidding) capabilities like Bluagile and start creating mobile web and in app campaigns. This is the most affordable, convenient and efficient way to run your campaigns. Using a DSP lets you connected with more or less 30 differennt ad exchages which means accessing more traffic than you can ever imagine over 200 countries worldwide. The cost wouldn't be a problem since it's a self-serve RTB you can bid whichever rate you would think would be best suitable for the campaign. Another great thing about this is that they have a brand safe inventory which is accessible through static banners. DSPs usually providereportings on their platform which is far better than getting separate reports from various blogs, article and sites. Creating a buzz in the world wide web is the best way to get more people interested in something new and investing in CPM (cost per 1000 impressions) is the perfect fit to achieve that goal.
To sum it all up, you're creating a mobile campaign using static banners to ensure bot free traffic at a very cheap and affordable cost and you can view the reportings on one area which is very convenient. Learn more about Bluagile by visiting the site:

Dear colleagues!
In this text below, I want to warn you about the scam danger from "Advertze" company.
We signed the traffic purchase agreement, made the prepayment of $2000 and after that Advertze disappeared.
I'll give you a summary of the situation that happened while negotiating with Advertze.
Our company, Hotger, is the user of MyMediaAds platform, which was the reason of finding and choosing Advertze.
We contacted Aaron Lopez, a manager of the company and the dialogue was started right away.
We have signed the document and received signed invoice for $2000. We did the payment for this invoice by bank transfer and sent the Swift payment confirmation, then we asked them to confirm the payment receiving. After that our partners disappeared, no one answered the phone or email.
We decided to contact Advertze the other way. Our manager added Aaron Lopez( the one who disappeared after payment) on skype. He answered surprisingly quick, started asking about work details and about prepayment!during the discussion Aaron Looez asked for email address. Because we all have same domain it was probably familiar to him. As soon as he saw the email address Aaron disappeared within 2 minutes and deleted our manager from skype and never contacted us again.
This second situation left no doubt, that Advetze is a scam company. They steal not only money but your precious work time.
This is why we want to spread this information as much as possible. Dear colleagues, our company Hotger is warning you, to avoid any contact with Advertze company. Beware of scammers never discuss any prepayments. We, Hotger company, strongly believe that this text should be spread as much as possible in order to avoid the same situation that happened to us.
Wishing you peace, happiness and good honest partnerships.
Hello, I’m here to share my thoughts and tips about the Android app promotion
Here are the most useful tips which I have learnt promoting my Android Apps:
1) Start promoting your App while it’s still developing.
2) Make an announcement about your Application in news break. List its pros, benefits, emphasize strong sides. It helps to warm up the user’s perception and become more loyal to the newly released application.
3) Maximize its effectiveness in your inner market. I mean it must stand out among the similar applications and become visible for users when they type its name in search line. ASO service will help you to be different and recognized – pay attention on title, description, screenshots, and presence of keywords.
4) Use SMM channel. Talk as much as possible about your application in social networks, thematic blogs and forums.
5) Maintain AdWords campaign – it would provide you solely target audience on your App installation.
6) Use incent traffic service which provide you installs and high rate reviews– it cost not much, but ensure inflow of organic audience.
7) If you have several similar application – not use the same marketing campaign – try different channels and test measurements.
8) Run the keyword install campaigns for the cheapest rankings growth and raise your organic traffic
Would be great if people will add their own thoughts/marketing cases here. Concerning the different ad networks/platforms etc:angel:
Check out APPSPIRE.me

I may share one more tip
You might have developed an excellent app, but you might be forgetting about retention and loyalty. Observing recent app store algorithm updates, you can see that retention and app usage metrics are getting more important for the app stores than ever. Loyal users are about to be even more value for both Apple App Store as well as Google Play Store Algorithm.
