How ad networks work?

Hi all,

I’ve uploaded my first game to Google play 7 months ago. Few times I payed to several ad networks like admob, getjar or appflood to promote my game. With last 2, I had a strange experience. In about 1 week, during the promote period, I received almost the same number of installs and uninstalls. That’s why I want to ask, if anybody knows, are those people who install apps payed for that? They will get some cents if they install and run apps. Does ad network works like that?

Thanks.

Incentivized networks do. The user would usually get rewarded some how for downloading an app so usually after they get credited, they would delete it since the only reason to install it was for the credit/currency. I don’t know if getjar/appflood are incentivized networks, you can just send an email to support and ask if their traffic is that.

Hi cLin,

I was missing the term ‘Incentivized networks’. Thanks for that. I’ve learned something.
