Is Corona SDK going to support iAd ?

Hey Mobi2us; http://inner-active.com/content/22

They pay via Paypal or via wire if you need it.

I notice that a Paypal email cannot be added/changed and in the sign up email it states it’s “nil”, so I imagine an account manager gets in touch with prior to issuing the payment. (At least the first time.)

I’m going to try and get some more info on this and get back to you.

Hey again,

Here’s what I was able to find out about payments today;

Currently the dashboard has no payment page but that is going to be added shortly. (They’re working on a new version.)

Payments are via Paypal or wire transfer and once your account reached the payment threshold ($200) you will be contacted by a member of their team.

(Payments are NET60.)

+1 iAd!

+1 Game Center!

Carlos had 2 recent posts on the topic of Game Center and iAD. He said GameCenter is coming and iAD was not since the fills are mostly the US and not at the rate of other vendors.

Where was that post? Lack of GameCenter is what took me 10+ months to purchase Corona, and I’m still waiting for it. [import]uid: 58885 topic_id: 16234 reply_id: 72705[/import]

There’s actually going to be a post on Monday which will discuss GC. It was going to be made today however got bumped back because of the “skin-gate” stuff.

Carlos tweeted about it earlier.

I would still love to have Mobclix as an option.
Like Inneractive they are an ad network mediator and have many networks in their arsenal.
They have SDK’s for both Apple and Android *and* they also support iAd and Admob with no extra coding required.

The best thing is that their dashboard allows you to select which networks you want to use. By default all networks are used, however if you for some reason only want to use iAd, Admob or a mix of other networks, you can do so within the Mobclix developer dashboard.

I’ve been using them for a couple of years and the revenue is on average 3x more than just using a single network. [import]uid: 70847 topic_id: 16234 reply_id: 72865[/import]

I tried once Mobclix and was not happy, buggy SDK, very fluctuating payments, ecpm.
It may changed in the meantime.

I tried Inneractive. Had lots of headache with the SDK, their AD Server was several times down, buggy system and last after 2 month I compared a 65% “less” income than for example from InMobi.
Till than InMobi was best (around Juli)…
Some further Tests with MobFox made me excited. Simple SDK, also Implementation Support for AdWhirl, nice Contact for Questions, and finally in income. even better, than InMobi around 30%

For tests and further possible changes I still give Inmobi, Admob parts of my adwhirl slots, to see how the develop, anyhow Mobfox came my absolute favorite till and for today and Inneractive removed completly. I would be interested in to test AdCologne, the Point with the Video Ads still keeps me interested.

Talked already with Carlos, it could be a SurePlus for all of us, when Ansca does a stable Ad Mediator System from themselves, so we can change the percentage we give each AdNetwork implemented in Corona even by remote. For me it doesn’t matter that if AdWhirl or a Mediator from Ansca. The System has to be stable and flexible and for sure with some spirit from our Team here :slight_smile:

Thats for now.

I can only speak for the Mobclix iOS SDK (no experience with the Android version), but it’s been a very stable SDK for my apps at least.
Another nice thing is that you can create your own filler ads for your own apps which will get displayed in case no other ads are available. You link these ads to the app store, or wherever you want.

Mobclix cleaned up their act considerably with regard to their payment system after they were acquired by Velti.

Since this is the last day for it, I’d encourage anyone who wants iAds to go beyond this thread and post in the “Top 5 features” one.

Yes, we need iAds. Yes, they are being close-minded about it. Yes, GameSalad already has it and we don’t. But that won’t change unless we continue to make noise about it (whether to be in the forums or by sending e-mails to Carlos, Peach, etc.) Keep in mind, it may have taken months of making noise for it to happen, but we’ve finally got (what I believe to be) a serious commitment to getting Game Center done. iAds are the obvious next step :slight_smile:

@swipeday.

sounds good and maybe under new management it may be worth to give it a chance again.

@blasterv
iAds is or sure a nice option, also filtrate, quite low… great ecpc
at all still I favorite to first implement MobFox, just to get the best eCPM through all devices.
50 Mio. Page Impressions through iOS/Android Apps in different topics, leadet me to that wish for now :slight_smile:

I don’t see the point of adding another ad features since corona already has ad features. I say leave the iAd in the dust and focus on developing other features instead of wasting developer’s energy. [import]uid: 151184 topic_id: 16234 reply_id: 108082[/import]

different ad networks are for sure a top prio if you are not just a fun developer

i have incomes that different from 1 to 10 from different networks. hard to say if you
are in a good now or not, if you have nothing to compare

for me inmobi for now is much better than inner-active, last was never good with me.
but iAd could be also interesting and several others.

if we would have a change to implement standard sdks would be most easiest

I want to buy Corona but only after AdMob and iAds will be added. Because I know size of revenue from this ad networks (i have 13 apps in AppStore). But what is Inneractive and inMobi? How much i can earn with it !? I can know only after Corona’s buying… Sorry it’s not for me… [import]uid: 10468 topic_id: 16234 reply_id: 115573[/import]
