Just wanted to share my experience with you guys. I've been using this wrapper for startapp for about 3 weeks now. I am also using some other ad networks... but this is by far the most profitable of them all.
I probably at some point will post more details about what I have done/published... I am very new to this and i am still learning... but here's a quick summary of my experience with startapp.
- I thought the pay-per-download was going to be the most profitable of all, but its not. On some apps I see about 13-20% of my revenue coming from this. This might have to do with were my downloads are mostly originating from (non-US = lower rates).
- The banners look amazing... but like every other banner, they don't have a a high ecpm and don't generate much revenue (people automatically ignore them). around 1-4.5% of my revenue is coming from this.
- The interstitial ads, exit ads, and the appwalls are all good, the 3D app wall looks great... 32%+ of my revenue comes from this.
- The slider/search thing is not bad looking, but it does not seem to be getting people's attention. Not too many impressions reported, maybe because of the type of apps I have (lwp - why would anyone use a search button in an lwp settings... lol). I get almost the same revenue as the banners and even less in some apps.
- The
splash screen... what can I say about the splash screen... simply
AMAZING. About 50%+ comes from the splash screen. If you intend on using startapp I highly recommend this. Most of my downloads are not from prime markets like the U.S., yet my ecpm for splash is in the $6+.
I will give a full review with numbers once I get more time and more data...
Nelson has been very helpful in helping me learn how to integrate this (since I am so new to all this). His library works well, the only thing I found missing are the native ads (I don't know much about them)... Note that I have used this wrapper to run StartAppInAppPlus version 2.3.6 (released on June 16 2014), all I had to do was change the name of the jar file... I hope this library is updated if/when startapp decides to change it after the end of July...
FYI:
I don't work for Nelson (
vpires), startapp, nor am I getting anything from anyone by posting this...
