I’m looking for a comprehensive list of networks but I can’t find anything. I even created a FusePowered account thinking I could see that information but I couldn’t find it.
I suspect it’s an ever changing list, depending on fill/ecpm/etc so they don’t list them all for you.
Off the top of my head I know I’ve seen ads from Adcolony, Unity Ads and (I think) AdMob, but for all I know some of those have been replaced with other networks since I last checked.
Right. The ad network list will change over time. But the idea behind AdRally is that it’s more than just an ad mediator. It allows you to manage promotional content via the Fuse Powered website and, more importantly, it allows you to set up “reward videos” which you can use to replace or supplement in-app purchase content. For example, in a game, you can offer players a free amount of in-app currency if they opt-in to watching a video ad to completion. From the player’s perspective, the player is getting something for free and you get a piece of the ad revenue because the video was played to completion (they don’t have to tap on the video for you to get paid). In a way, it’s like an in-app purchase, but the ad network is paying. And since the player is not paying out of pocket, they’re more likely to watch more ad videos to acquire more in-app purchase like content.

Thanks for the info, guys. Is it possible to set what kind of ads I want the user to see? For example Chartboost and Vungle seem to be exclusively for games, which is what I want. I did see a blacklist for sex, violence, gambling, etc but does that mean my users will only see ads for other games?
Also, do you have info on what action the user has to perform in order for me to get paid (click, install, just watch)? For the rewarded video you say I’ll get paid if they just watch it but I thought ads were moving away from that and more towards paying for clicks and installs.
Yes, you can blacklist political, gambling, violent, religious, and mature content ads individually.

It will advertise other apps on iTunes and Google Play (depending on the platform of course). I’ve also seen car ads come up too. I guess a better answer is ads not on your blacklist can be displayed.
For reward videos, yes, they just have to play the video to completion. Kind of like how YouTube works, except you can set up the reward videos to be something users opt-in to if you want. That’s why this is the biggest feature AdRally is pushing and there are other features in AdRally that allow you to set up promotional in-app purchase offers via reward videos as well. Perhaps if you want a more in-depth look on how this is set up, you can look at their knowledge base down below. Might answer some of your questions. Although some of these details are still subject to change since its not released yet.
