Eg yesterday your revenue was based on 57 installs. The installs come via the banners and interstitial combined. The tracking is accomplished without special permission via the SDK.
So I guess the impressions don’t mean anything. I have a hard time buying it because they also show eCPM. Why wouldn’t they show average PPI? That would make more sense.
Thanks for that - it confirms what I was conjecturing.
The installs are then the total installs - the revenue is based on that - if you divide your revenue per day by the installs per day - you will get a fairly stable figure close to $0.18 per install (it maybe less these days).
For AppBrain:
Date Banner-impressions Banner-Revenue Banner-eCPM Clicks Installs Non-banner-revenue Total-revenue
The impression are for the banner ad only.
They do not give out the impressions for the AppWall.
Thus the full set of info is available for the banners. You can confirm that the eCPM is just a derivative number that is calculated from the banner-revenue/banner-impressions division.
The thing that is missing is the AppWall impressions per day.
The clicks may refer to just the banner clicks - but given it does not say Banner-clicks - it may be the clicks that you have when folks click on the app in the AppWall (whether shown as an AppWall or from the banner ad - since the banner ad ALSO shows the same AppWall).
So if that is true, then clicks would be user clicks on the app in the AppWall and the installs the total installs.
You can see that the clicks are about 3x the installs - which fits into this model. If it was clicks on the banner ad, it may have required more clicks to get one install (?).
David or others:
How is the performance of Tapjoy compared to AppBrain/Leadbolt AppWall ? If one uses Tapjoy just as an offerwall ?
If one uses Tapjoy as a virtual currency thing - I wonder if it will do better than GetJar (which has not done well so far - though how it is placed may make a difference also).
David mentioned in another thread earlier that Tapjoy was doing well but lately not done as well.
