Hello everyone,
Wonderful forum, thanks to admin and the community. This is my first post
I am about to complete my first game app and was planning to integrate an ad network but then I heard about Ad Mediation. So questions are:
[ol]
[li]Ad mediation vs Ad Networks alone? which one is better overall? (because i heard that even though fill rate is supposed to be high in Ad Mediation, practically it is not. Hence resulting in less money. But it assures that the income wont stop because some network banned us.)[/li]
[li]If I go with Ad Mediation, which brand will you suggest? I read about MoPub, AdTapsy, SuperSonic and Heyzap and got some bias towards MoPub. There are also arguments against MoPub that the fill rate is very low and their payments may be delayed or incorrect. Also they have this tendency to show majority of the ads from Mopub-MarketPlace (over other third party networks we added) resulting in greater share of our income for them. Back to point: which Ad Mediation platform is the best currently?[/li]
[li]Does Ad-Mediation platforms allow server side addition of Ad Networks? That is once the app is released, can I add a new third party network via server side without touching my apk? Similarly, do they allow removal/pause of third party networks?[/li]
[li]Which are the Ad Networks you will suggest at this point of time? Heard that LeadBolt was good last year but turned bad this year. Similar is the case with other networks - most start well and fade away. Is that the general trend? Then which network is the super-star right now?[/li][/ol]
Thanks in advance.
