[Q] traffic Sources

Hello everyone, at first, sorry for my english. But please try to understand me
I'm newbie in app promotion and have some questions. My task is attract players in our games. We develope good games for android and ios. The publishers attract main part of our players in different countries. We share our revenue with publisher. It is main source of traffic.
But now we want self publish our games. And I would like ask you, were a can get good game traffic?
at now I consider this sources (But all these variants are too expensive):
1. Google adwords (and Bing ads, admob). For every jump of about $ 0.05 (In the best case, each install will cost 0.5$)
2. Buying ads in android launchers. It cost 0,5$ per install
3. ads in push messages
4. tapjoy, applifier
Can you comment on each of them?
Please advise me more traffic sources. Maybe you know some local traffic sources, some new and interesting systems?
And advise me useful websites were I can improve knowledge in the field of promotion of mobile games. Perhaps some blogs or forums.
thanks to all

New Native In-stream Ads SDK from Avocarrot

Hey guys,
we launched a new version of Avocarrot's Native Ads SDK. The update includes native in-stream ads which are ideal for Android apps that contain newsfeeds or generally make use of list view components.
Social giants rely on them
Facebook, Twitter, Buzzfeed and some of the most downloaded apps on Google Play rely on in-stream ad technology they've built in-house to generate millions of dollars in advertising revenue. The same technology is now available to all Android developers through the Avocarrot SDK.
Extra revenue to what you make already
You don't have to switch from your favorite mobile ad network or remove your IAPs. Native in-stream ads let you monetize a new location in your app that previously was not possible and you will now have an additional revenue stream at hand.
Mobile ads that don't annoy users
Users hate ads that disturb them. Avocarrot's native in-stream ads will match the look and feel of your app and are designed to respect user experience and be clearly distinguishable for Google Play policy compliance.
Express native ads integration
It will take you only 15mins to be up and running. There is a detailed walkthrough, multiple code examples, an open-source sample project and round-the-clock engineering support should you need anything.
Global ad availability & fast payments
With a single SDK integration you'll get immediate access to multiple premium native ad exchanges available, to achieve the best possible eCPM and a consistently high global fill rate. Payments are also made every month on a Net-30 basis.
To get started you can either check out:
a) the walkthrough at http://www.avocarrot.com
b) the Android demo app at https://github.com/Avocarrot/android-demo-app
Looking forward to your feedback.
Cheers,
George

Which ad network is the best for the Indian subcontinent?

Hi,
We are developing yet another messaging app with localized design, that is- support for local languages, convenient design for not-so-tech-savvy yet interested-in-internet people and so on. Our target market is mainly people from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and people from this region living around the globe. We are looking for the top ad networks providing consistent ad and money flow for this region. Please share your experience and monetization success (or failure with causes) in the Indian subcontinent.
Is there any other monetization model more successful than ad-network in this region?
Thanks in advance.

My friend in India tell me about AdiQuity – RTB platform focusing on the Asian market and India in particular. Offers banners and text ads and a choice of CPC and CPM campaigns. Hope it help

I can relate to the phase your team is going through. Been there once before, those initial stages really suck up all your time and resources but then its all worth it. I have tried a few Ad platforms like Bidderplace, Clickky, Admob etc but my experience has been the best with Affle. I have seen brand building and monetization going hand in hand and with my personal experience I can assure you, this is what your app needs to get that success you are talking about. Visit www{dot}affle{dot}com and drop them your query or leave a message here, I might be able to connect them to you.

You can try the RTB platform of Bluagile to promote your app.
They are a DSP connected to different add exchanges. The Best thing about them is they have a self serve platform, which means you can adjust and optimized your campaign to what ever you desire.

try native ads
we've been working with Avocarrot.com and hopped in the "native ads" train in early 2015. CPMs have been great and they helped us with localizations in Europe, S America and arab countries. I bet they can do this trick for india too. Plus we always post great content on their blog

[Q] Does anyone know a truly good Ads platform?

Recently I was trying hard to find a mobile ads platform however it ended up pretty frustrated. It seems non of them support keywords or demographic targeting except choosing categories(racing, action etc.), genders or ages. In the end I can only turn to Facebook or Twitter for a more specific targeting (people who loves multiplayer and fishing, etc.)
Do you have same problem with me? Does anybody know any mobile ads platform that can allow me target those features?
Thanks in advance!

What about adsense? Works pretty well for me.

I've just started a campaign with AdMob and Facebook. The facebook ads move really slowly for now (40 impressions/day) and the AdMob campaign hasn't been approved yet but I will post my results once I know more.

Admob
admob is probably the best , i also like adbuddiz , but admob gives the best revenue.

I would suggest choosing an ad network with good support, that might prevent problems from the start. Try AdMob or MillenialMedia. Mobfox is good as well!

We use Applovin, Chartboost and Vungle video ads. Admob is also a good choice.
Tried Adbuddiz, but were not so happy with perforance.
