Startapp always had the best ecpm. Now is just decreasing and the ecpm every day is different with a big fluctuation.
Yesterday one app with 40k impressions was with 0,09 ecpm. Terrible.
Someone with the same problem?
same probple, ecpm of startapp now decrease very strong. I don’t know why.
Yes, there is a big drop from the first days of august and it’s not related only to the non presence of PPD model . Maybe they are haveing some bad days and I’ll give them one more week or two to solve this… after that, I’m sorry to say but I’ll start to search another ad provider
I have this too now
startapp was very good ecpm last month
I use mobilecore appnext avocarrot and appflood now
i am happy with ecpm this far
same probple, ecpm now decrease very strong
Hi have some apps with 0 ecpm in banner ads? Startapp is going down.
Ariel whats wrong with startapp?
I have this too now
maybe we must say good bye with startapp and find another network.
And the startapp have just one refresh in dashboad per day and not week payment. What was good in startapp was the eCPM.
Didnt they change something, got an email from them last week.
Yep it has been like this for a couple months now. Im official done with startapp.
with ad network you suggests to change from startapp ? appflood maybe ? someone tryied them ? what is average ecpm ? their PPD works fine ? startapp said that : from policy change ad networks cant count install like on ppd model…
yes, as long as they were with the highest ecpm on the market the 1 day update dashboard or the net30 payment was not a problem for no one but with this continuous low ecpm is hard to stay with them. I’m so sorry to leave them because they are so honorable and precise in their business. I just hope to find some ad provider like them but with higher ecpm
@fourtwozero which networks are you now using? Have you tried Tapit! by Phunware?
You could also try TapIt by Phunware to diversify your network portfolio and fill remnant traffic. The TapIt ad network is currently available with free alerts, notifications and analytics if those are of interest to you. Feel free to message me if you have any questions!
I have the same problem: this september is awfully bad (very low ecpm).
This october is worse… Impressions dropped down without any logic.
for me is october is pretty nice
I am also experiencing falling eCPMs as well. I used to get at least $1 eCPM but now I am only getting $0.29. This is very discouraging and disheartening. I guess it is time for me to move on. I am thinking of using a mediation network like Admob or Mopub (most likely mopub as it works on Froyo).
Lately I have used the 2.4.6 SDK and income has grown pretty well. But StartApp updated the SDK with a new version (2.4.7) a couple of days ago (or not many days more)… And today I have received an e-mail from them:
[i]As we are doing our best to keep you updated on latest industry trends and insights, we have noticed that Google have started to enforce the new advertising policy and therefore we urge you to update to our latest SDK (version 2.4.7) in order to better comply with it.
The advertising ID is a user-specific, unique, resettable ID for advertising.
It gives users better control and provides developers with a simple, standard system to continue to monetize their apps.
As always, this new SDK includes fixes and optimizations that will boost revenue and performance. Our support team is always here for any query you may have.
Best regards,
The StartApp Team[/i]
Hmmm… Hey, wait! It was’n google compliant the “old” version 2.4.6? Of course it was! What, then? Maybe they have seen that his 2.4.6 version paid too much money? I don’t know. This is my theory.
Anyone can confirm this? Do you have installed the new 2.4.7 SDK?
And something more: if there is no need to change it for Google policies, should I change almost every fifteen days my Startapp SDK? It’s a loose of time…
