Ok I see a lot of threads about which is the best AD network and honestly there is no best AD network. But to find out which AD network is best for your specific game or app , I can help you with that. To understand what networks works check out this criteria
-
GEO’s - This means country this is the 1st piece to finding the right network. Look for AD networks that target other countries rather than the big 3 GEO’s ( US,UK,Germany) . There are many international AD networks like Airpush, Appnext,mobilecore,mobvista, etc.
-
Googleplay compliant - Next you have to search for if your app will be on googleplay which AD networks are fully compliant and have a history of no bans. Obviously ADmob is the 1st choice plus it gives you a few rank points. But besides ADmob there are others that have a great track record like Appnext,mobvista,appbrain,etc.
-
3rd Party Markets - Now for 3rd party markets you can make some money.
-
Airpush has a 5 cents per install program in their bundle 2 plus they have notification ADs which bring in the bacon . Last year developers were making big bucks with Airpush.
BIG NOTE Airpush has $50 eCPM on the bundle2 SDK.
2)Tapjoy if you know how to program very well can bring in money by offering users to download apps for in game currency plus video ADs that pay well.
-
Notifymob has a guarantee scam program , do not use them.
-
Appnext has a new SDK that has high eCPM but I haven’t figured how exactly they are doing it. Doesn’t matter , what matters is extra money in your pocket.
-
Did you make a game or app ? Now when you sign up to one of these networks before using them see if there is a way to have the ADs optimized for games or apps. Talk to your account manager and if he isn’t doing his job come to making money with android and find a rep. The rep’s here will help you as best they can to optimize your ADs.
All networks I REPEAT ALL NETWORKS will go through slumps. When this happens you should already have a backup network just in case. Don’t jump to say scam when an AD network slumps off. The only AD networks I would tell you to avoid is startApp and Notifymob .Otherwise use the information above to help give your self a better chance at making money.
