Got Admob working for Android :)

My requests seem pretty consistant over the last month, but impressions are terrible. Fill rates are around 20 to 30%. I’ve asked around and its just admob in general.

I got a delayed payout email too, and then they just paid a week or so later.

Looks to me like admob is going to shit. I’d use inMobi for now at least. [import]uid: 8872 topic_id: 8021 reply_id: 58291[/import]

Just loaded Walkabout Lite, and no ads showing. [import]uid: 8872 topic_id: 8021 reply_id: 58292[/import]

AddMob will never be included in any of my apps no matter what they pay!!!

Have you seen the adds they push?

It is a reflection on you and your product what you advertise within, just say’n…

I delete any app that uses AddMob from my devices AND any other apps by the developer are avoided as well.

Just MY opinion.

Please make your own choice, just remember there will be consequences.

Not sure what you mean?

If you dont turn on age appropriate ads its not different to any other network I seen. [import]uid: 8872 topic_id: 8021 reply_id: 59553[/import]

I agree with @Hotaman.

I was just looking at a coronaSDK built app the other day that runs AddMob ads. I’m not saying the app name because I don’t think it’s important.

I was shown an ad that said something like “Claim your free iPad2 Click & Win”. When I clicked on it I was taken to this site.

You are asked to enter your mobile phone number and in the lighter smaller print you are told that a recurring charge of $9.99 will be charged to your mobile phone bill.

I believe these types of adds are scams that count on gullible people to enter without understanding what they are agreeing to. They probably make you jump through all kinds of hoops to cancel.

My reaction to seeing this was that I don’t want these types of adds in any app that I release. [import]uid: 67839 topic_id: 8021 reply_id: 59607[/import]

You might also consider the alternative to admob and inmobi I created here http://moonbeamdevelopment.com/?name=corona-lua-ad-network-leadbolt

I’ll give it a shot :slight_smile: Sent you a message via your contact form. Revenues and fill rates on android are terrible right now. [import]uid: 8872 topic_id: 8021 reply_id: 61317[/import]

also inmobi is quiet bad now.

looks several adnetworks, look to get more advertisers by offering cheap CPC.

wish Corona would support MobFox, where I have much better experience.

cheers

Hmm how much better is mobfox?

It looks doable - i could probably code something up for it if you really think its worth it? [import]uid: 8872 topic_id: 8021 reply_id: 61325[/import]

from experience on Native Android app nearly 3 !! Times InMobi .

What sort of requests/impressions/fillrate and click rate are we talking about?

If its over very few requests 3 times doesnt mean that much :slight_smile: [import]uid: 8872 topic_id: 8021 reply_id: 61331[/import]

Was my post removed?

Nevermind - just found it again…
[import]uid: 9046 topic_id: 8021 reply_id: 61330[/import]

its compared with a daily 100.000 requests over one week.
fillrate i don’t see in mobfox.

mobfox ctr 2.17% to inmobi 1.19%

[import]uid: 4795 topic_id: 8021 reply_id: 61334[/import]

Hmmm now thats interesting. I’ll take a look at it and see if I can code something up.

[import]uid: 8872 topic_id: 8021 reply_id: 61335[/import]

sounds good.
just make sure its confirm with their terms.

best get an confirmation by email and telling exactly what you like to do.

than i open to implement your solution also.

i just like to avoid any problem by implementing a hack that finally could lead
to account termination at mob fox :slight_smile:

We tried MoxFox at the beginning of this year but ultimately left them for three major reasons.

  1. LOW fill rates
  2. They are just a medium to pass ads out to you from other ad networks - in which they take yet another cut of what you would be earning.
  3. You have to wait NET 90 on some of the ad networks because again, the ad networks pay Mobfox, then they pay you.

It wasn’t an ideal solution for us so we actually use several different choice ad networks and mediate them ourselves using a custom written ad database we control. That way when one ad network is tanking, we can switch over to another and try them. It’s sort of like day trading :slight_smile:

i see that mob fox changed a lot in the last months.

from low filtrate…i get now around 90%

about medium for other networks… i don’t know.
but i know other networks like inmobi… get ads from Mobfox :slight_smile:

anyhow what would you advice.
Right now… ONLY Inmobi is at all the worst case.
we can’t choose at all :frowning:

LeadBolt leads the way :slight_smile:
We also use Admob, Pontiflex, and airpush on occasion but we keep push notifications off most of the time because of the hate-mail you’ll get :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve got the lua wrapper and all information available on our website here http://moonbeamdevelopment.com/?name=corona-lua-ad-network-leadbolt

Alot more ad network info in my book also here, http://moonbeamdevelopment.com/?name=Making-Money-With-Android-Book

It’s based on Android side but it’s very relevant to iOS as well…

Anyone know if web-popups with admob works in the simulator with the new Native UI on mac? [import]uid: 4596 topic_id: 8021 reply_id: 62563[/import]

I’ve just tried to implement Admob to my Android app:

http://market.android.com/details?id=com.gyulabozzai.rotatepuzzle

In test mode, i can successfully view a test ad on my phone.
But then, when i disable test mode no ads can be displayed.
However, logging into Admob, in the site & apps page, next to my app, the request keep increasing (more than 10000). So I think i have implement the ads properly, but don’t know why i can’t see them.
Another point is, the eCPM and fill rate is always 0.
