Could you be more specific? I think most people use the Google Play market for app sales, although there are alternatives (such as Amazon). Are you asking whether you should charge for the app vice depending on ad revenue?

Three options:
Have an app that's good enough to make people pay to install it: Quite hard, especially on the Android platform where many users expect even high quality apps to be free.
Free app with advertisements. This usually only works well for apps which have a high user engagement, both session frequency and session length. If you have a utility app that runs in the background or gets used once in a blue moon, this model is not really suited for that, even if the app is super useful.
Free app with in-app purchases to unlock features and/or acquire consumable items. Especially games seem to be very successful with this approach.

I've been pretty happy using these guys.
mrp.adsyolo .com
more of an exchange instead of a single ad network that includes around 120 various networks acting as demand partners. (admob, inmobie, yadda yadda yadda). I'm currently getting about 1500 +/- a month with these guys, not enough to leave the day job but it covers my beer expenses.
:highfive:
I'm using multiple networks... been testing the new network tapcontext because of their high payouts. Averaging $6 CPM's. Really depends on your apps though.

I obviously don't want to give too much away in regards to the exact apps as I wouldn't need the competition , but they are travel related. I am getting the $6+ CPM off tapcontext, using both their interstitial & notification ads.
This list below in general is a pretty good summary of some of the best ways to monetize your application.
With this in mind, the latter in the list (unlockable content) is something that we will be experiencing far more of in the future in my opinion...

It is kinda sad that its getting harder and harder to make money off the purchase of the app itself anymore. Even if you give out the free version, I've seen that very few people upgrade to the full version. There are just too many free games out there. Users end up spending more money within their favorite free apps instead of trying out many different apps.
I'm in the middle of an ad campaign for my new app and its getting a great # of installs (more than other apps). Reviews are good and emails/comments on social media about the game are positive, and yet so few people upgrade to the full version!
In my opinion never use the notification kind of adds, its very annoying wich makes people uninstall your app, unlockable content would be the best move i think. Again, its my opinion.

Different ads are good for the beginning.
I use Admob and for now it's good for me.

How To Recover Deleted Photos From Android Phone For Free
It often happens that you accidentally end up deleting all the pictures stored on the memory card of your smartphones. It sucks, especially if you have not stored a backup of the images elsewhere (usually on an external hard drive or laptop).
Sure, you may try to place the in-app ads. Clickky's monetization platform will help you to place ads relevant to your users (the programmatic approach identifies your user and his interests and shows him the appropriate ads). It works by eCPM. One of the publishers received traffic from 11 geo locations in various regions. eCPM rates peaked at $61.5 in Russia, followed by $30.28 in Switzerland, $14.13 in New Zealand, and $9.45 in France. Overall, eCPM haven’t fallen below $0.65. He had a mobile web-site, not an app, but it doesn't matter.
The eCPM you get depends on users. Let's suppose that the app advertiser has some profile of users who will most likely install his app, use it and make in-app purchases. He is ready to pay money to attract these certain users, showing them the ads. When these certain users use your app, the system (RTB-based) connect you (publisher) and app owner (advertiser). That's why the eCPM is very high. Imagine, how much you are ready to pay as an advertiser for the particular user who will bring you at least $200/mo via in-app purchases. Yes, that's why some publishers may earn up to $150
Agree with @aiaran that you should use multiple networks as they give you different fill rates in different GEOs. Unfortunately there is no best-ever solution on the market. E.g., now Clickky's monetization platfrom is now very good on Tier 1 countries, and maybe some other platform will monetize your traffic from Australia or Russia much better. In a month the situation may change, so you have to combine different platform and monetize yur traffic to the fullest.

Lots of great tips in this thread! I am currently making an app as well and plan on attending the Crowdfund Global Expo in San Diego, Jan. 30th-31st. I heard there will be lots of great investors at this event and wanted to take a look for myself. I highly suggest visiting crowdfundweeklynews.com to find out lots of great info about crowdfunding and how it can help people like us!
Probably thru admob first? Then try in-app purchases and stuff like that?
Revmob
Besides google admob, revmob also providing similar service $ too.:good:

I'm displaying admob ads and using in-app purchases (IAP) to unlock additional levels. After 100 game downloads (it's my first game for android, just released), IAP considerably outperforms ads.

You will get higher revenue from ads when you will have more users. But remember you will need active users because they will see your ads(earn by CPM) or they will click on it(earn by CPC) unless you will earn in other way like PPC/CPI or something else.

Interesting stats regarding the e-Commerce. What sort of thing are we talking here, bigger companies re-selling through apps?
Paid app and also ads network. But today is very difficult to monetize app for such competition. you should have very unique and useful app that can pay attention.

Hi all,
I was investigating different ways to promote my app and I was thinking on appszoom. I thought those reviews were only under payment but I just found out that you can also apply for a free review! However, unders those conditions: "You can also request your review for free and you'll get it published within 60 days"
Has anyone tried a free review with them?
appszoom.com is a very good apps review site
appszoom.com have reviewed two of my apps
* NewsDrift
* Africa Safaris
I really liked the way they did the reviews. You don't have to wait for 60 days. For instance, NewsDrift was reviewed within 48 hours of submitting the app. The reviews were also very well done - I also got to be featured on their home page under Latest Reviews.
I would recommend appszoom any day.
A good way to promote your app/game
I also ad my app/game listed and reviewed by Appzoom.com :
Konbo Monsters
I really think they did a fair review and my game was featured in its Latest Reviews section.
If you want a good way to promote your app, choose the AppZoom.com
Thanks for your answers! Indeed those reviews look pretty professional.
Did any of you use a paid review (specially since you mentioned within 48h) or you took the free option? If so, how much does it cost?
Yes, the reviews are very professional...I did not have to pay anything. Both of my apps were reviewed for free... I was really impressed.

I had used their free review service, and got a quick response.
Also, the review process took shorter than expected and was very well done.

Yes, I have tried to submit an app on Appszoom but didn't succed. At last they ask to pay a fixed amount to publish my app review on their website. You should try some other website to publish a free review about your app. You should also consider App store optimization to increase app downloads from app stores.

Hi Richard,
I'm sorry to hear you were unable to submit your app for review. Did you get in touch with the AppsZoom support? [email protected]
I work there and I'm sure they can work something out for you, there is no reason you shouldn't be able to get a free review, AppsZoom always offers free reviews unless the app is not available in their testing country, or it is not a free app, but in both cases you can send them an APK or promo code so that they can review it, and you don't have to pay. Sorry if there was any confusion!
Tell me if you notice a big increase of downloads after they've reviewed your apps? Many people told me that it is not worth to buy reviews.

Hi! I just want to clarify that the point of reviews is not to get installs, but to increase visibility. If your app is good, people will install it and in AppsZoom reviewed apps receive 4x more installs than those without reviews. While the reviews are not app promotions, but the benefit of the Premium review is that the app appears in a Premium position in the homepage and for a longer period of time than free reviews. The other benefit of Premium reviews (besides being published within 48 hours) is that the developer approves it before it is published, so if you're not happy with the review you can block it from being published. Hope that helps clarify!

Ok I see what you mean, but at the end I would like to have more active users. I have to pay for review so i can use ROI to do some calculation. I want to earn so if this investment won't make any profits I don't want to pay for it. Review at good App Review Site = Increase Visibility = More Active Users = Higher Revenue. Right? I just want to know what Review Site is worth to pay.
How long did you wait for an answer?
So guys, those of you that used Appszoom, did you notice any increase in sale at all, or just a nice review?
Update from Appszoom
Hi guys!
A quick update since some things have changed at Appszoom. We've redesigned our homepage, added a few new services, and due to really high demand for reviews, we've removed the free review request, but you can still email us (hello at appszoom dot com) about your app and let us know you'd like a free review. We may not always be able to guarantee a review, but we'll do our best to help you!
Keep in mind that there's a big difference between free and Premium Reviews:
Premium Reviews are ready within 2 work days (free reviews take much longer) and you pre-approve the review before it's published (free reviews are published when ready). The Premium Review also gets featured for up to four days in our homepage and in our "more reviews" section.
If I missed something, just ask away! Happy apping guys!
Hi today i got email from appszoom and i have some questions but i am did not have time to study it yet so sorry if I ask something twice or senselessly.

Since Appszoom's SDK also displays banners, it's advisable to remove AdMob SDK if you prefer to use Appszoom's SDK, however it is not mandatory. We recommend you only use one banner provider, since otherwise you could overwhelm your app with banners, which doesn't make for a nice user experience. You can make money from the SDK too - it works through cross promotion, which is a free exchange of banner impressions with other apps, or also through monetization, whereby your app displays paid ads for apps and you receive money when someone installs the app from the ad. They are all interstitial banners, meaning they don't appear permanently in any position. You can manage all the SDK stats from your Appszoom dashboard and it's a very flexible service. You can use both cross promotion and monetization or just one or the other.
Regarding your app in Appszoom - it is linked with Google Play (or the app store, depending on the app) meaning when a user clicks to download they are sent to the corresponding market. Appszoom is an app discovery site and app, driving more installs to the markets.
Hope that helps!

Hi Folks,
We have paid a professional company to build our app for Android and IOS. There is no other app like it on either platform. Mass marketing is not a problem for us and we are confident that we will get many users.
The apps are free with adverts or paid to remove. The company we have paid a lot of money said they have no clue about adverts, which they are now telling us after we have paid most of the money, so it is down to us to research. We are not technically minded, we just had a great idea.
Personally I did not want any ads but from research it seems it is the way forward.
The company plans to add just banner ads that pay when clicked on only.
My question is about the type of adverts for us.
From what I have read, there are adverts that pay for the amount of users and how long they spend on the app. Our users will spend quite a lot of time using the app as it is that type of app, you needs to spend time on using it for the info they need from it.
Can anyone tell me please what this type of advert is called or if it even exists?
Any other suggestions please on adverts that create revenue apart from having to click on an advert to create revenue. I know from my own usage that I never click on adverts.
Thank you folks for any help.

We were thinking to have banner ads but is there a way to get paid for time spent on the app looking at them rather than clicking?
We are also thinking about interstitial ad before they exit the app, is this possible?
We also thought about push ads that go to the notification bar.
Lastly we were thinking of an offer wall advert at the start after the loading screen just before they enter the app.
Do you think this is too many ads?
Thanks

This forum is full of socially brainwashed ****ing pricks. I have made many posts on various subjects on different accounts to test for the help on here. Never had one reply or one bit of help from any of the posts or topics. It seems from my testing that, you snotty nosed ****s only help people who are technically minded like yourselves.
I have not even had a welcome to forum post or a hello lol
I can bet that people will now post here, not regarding any help to my question but to become forum police, Time you could have taken to actually help someone with no knowledge and genuinely asking for help.
Have fun in your rat race. Try and take a deeper look at life instead of being selfish wankers, help others in need. It isn't hard for those that can help but I guess you will only say "use the search function" like some ****ing robot.
Hopefully now I will get a response, not the one I wanted but my results from forum testing will be good reading, although negative for this forum and its so called people.
I now await posts, reporters to the admins as it will make you feel special, wont it?

Hi Peter, whether you should put ads should depend on the genre of your app. Personally, I don't put adverts in my app (not even pay to remove it). In my opinion, apps with adverts are 'low quality' and profit orientated (no offence). Furthermore, putting adverts in your app will not earn you a lot of money unless your app goes viral. Hence, I suggest you look into a more sustainable business model other than ads. Cheers.
Hello, I just recently signed up to XDA. I have written a simple game called "Tiny Canoe" and I am having a difficult time getting it reviewed or really exposed anywhere. I wrote another app several years ago and back then there were multiple free sites that would review the App for you and you would subsequently get exposure and downloads. Now my inbox is full from companies wanting me to buy their service to review the app. I have no clue which one of these companies to actually trust or which one would be the most cost effective. I am just a single developer, so I don't have the funds or manpower to do a thorough analysis of what the best option may be. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Provide a link for the app or post the apk for members to try... you'll get feedback and if its good enough maybe a mention on the portal or XDATV. Good luck.

Hi. I downloaded it from play store. I must say I liked it. Fun little game. I gave it a review.
But i would recommend. Adding the apk here so people can download it and try it from here..
APK Attached and Google Play link provided
Thanks for the replies! Per your recommendation, attached is the apk for Tiny Canoe.
XDA will not allow me to post the link on this forum because I am new user. It says I can post that info after approximately 10 posts.
Thanks again for the help. It's a very simple and fun game. Hopefully, you will like it too.
