How would I show an ad for my own games when an app starts?

Solar2D Monetization (in-app purchases, ads, etc.)

Just like Ketchapp does with their games.

If I launch one of their games, immediately after launch they display an ad which is another one of their games.

And this ad is dynamic - the ad changes if I restart the game.  Does anybody know how to achieve the same result using Corona?  Is it a server side call that just fetches an image or something like that?

See attached image for example of what I mean.

Any info would be very much appreciated.

I don’t think there is a way to call a specific ad on an ad network, but the easiest way, and one that I use, is to include the ad in your game and call it when you want to display it. For one of my games, the first ad is always an ad for another of my games, then I call ads from Admob.

There is nothing to prevent your app from calling a webView to a web server you own that has HTML code that fetches a banner image from your website that links to the certain app stores. Basically you build your own ad service.

It’s not that hard.

Hi!

Exploring AdMob, I found in house adds, that allow you to add ads from your other apps (or not yours).

More info here: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/3210452?ref_topic=3063091

I hope it fits your needs.

I’m just starting configure it.
