B4A Library Leadbolt Ads

susu · Dec 25, 2011

How can you test LeadBolt notification ads? I tested in my 3 devices and 4 of my friend but I never see it. In dashboard, there're 23 new users.

App ads is another disappointed, my app got 113 impressions, 13 clicks but I earn nothing!

Hi susu,

Notification ads sometimes dont show up for me too. If you're getting an increase of new users, then you're probably fine. Maybe leadbolt have no ads for your location at that time. Hope Brian can clarify on this.

App ads have been bad for me too. Thats why I only use notification ads.

Good luck!

Thank you Bill! (I just know your name after read your great blog)

You're welcome susu!

The blog is just a start to try to create a new source of revenue from online, hope it works out!

I've just posted my strategy in using Leadbolt here:
Make Money Online with Android App Ads: Leadbolt Ads - 3 steps to making the most of it!

Hope you guys find the post useful... and good luck!

Susu - what country are you viewing the notification ads from? As there are certain countries that don't have any active advertisers at the moment, this may be why you're not able to view the ad displays.

However, if you're seeing the number of new users increase, you can assume the notifications are displaying properly. Feel free to get me via Skype (leadboltbrian) and I'll take a look at your setup.

As we're still adding advertisers to the App Wall on a consistent basis, you should start seeing substantial eCPM rates here as well. A lot of publishers are seeing App Wall eCPM's equivalent to their rates with notifications. We'd love to hear how you're applying the app walls!

BTW - excellent blog post, Bill!

ssg,

This is much appreciated, and I'll certainly give it a try.

Also, I was able to get your Greystripe library working. Did you ever do much good as far as revenue with that?

Hi Jack,

Thanks for the reply. I will post revenue details of Greystripe in the other post.

Cheers!

Hi Brian,

Thanks for checking up on the post. Leadbolt is still my "favorite-est" ad option

For the App Wall, I had no technical issues getting it implemented. And to answer your query, I had the app wall implemented two ways. Both are when a user clicks the back button on the app (user chooses to quit the app).

1 - Prompt the user whether they'd llike to check out more apps.
2 - Just load the app wall.

In both cases, I load the appwall in the browser by raising an intent.

Unfortunately, over the last 7 days I made only $0.54 from this. In contrast, the AppBrain one generates about $2 to $4 per day for my top downloaded app.

Hope my feedback will help Leadbolt in improving the appwall in any way possible

Cheers!

Best Regards,
Bill

Aloha,

You can keep the old one if you're not interested in the icon ad format or the new improvements, should be no issue [ plus, wont be fair to us if they disable the old SDK totally as our apps are already out there

Cheers!

Hi have a small problem with manifest. I am trying to add appbrain and leadbolt notification ads on the same app but it seems the receivers for each fight with each other and when i have both of them the notification ad does not work. Any idea?


<receiver android:name="com.Leadbolt.AdNotification" />


<activity android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation" android:name="com.appbrain.AppBrainActivity" />
<service android:name="com.appbrain.AppBrainService" />
<receiver android:exported="true" android:name="com.appbrain.ReferrerReceiver" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>

EDIT:

Nevermind, its working great, seems i am getting notification ads just sometimes and that confused my testing.

ssg · Jan 28, 2012

Hi nad,

Good that its working fine for you. Yeah I too have had times when the notification ads dont show, but try it a little later and it works.

Also, for those who are interested, I tried their Icon Ad, and it seems to give a more stable setup of the icon compared to airpush.

Lets wait for them to release an official B4A wrapper library, should be early this coming week.

Cheers!

Hi All,

We now have the B4A wrapper for the new App Icon ads available. Please contact your assigned Account Manager and they'll be able to send you the file.

Cheers,

Brian

I have notification ads in my program:

B4X:

adLeadbolt.Initialize
adLeadbolt.AsynchTask = True
adLeadbolt.loadLeadboltAds("123123123", adLeadbolt.adLeadbolt.ADS_NOTIFICATION)

and in leadbolt when I select on demand the ad shows, but if I select it as reocurring nothing arrives. do I have to put this code in a services module, or will it still run even when the program is closed?

thanks

ssg · Jan 31, 2012

Hi sionco,

You don't have to put it in a service module. It will run even after your program is closed.

Sometimes there isn't an ad available to be sent out at a particular time. Test it back after a while.

Also double check you setup for recurring on stuff like "start in" and "repeat every" setup.

Good luck!

LeadBolt Icon app

Hello all, i was wondering if anyone here has started using the new Leadbolt sdk, which has the new icon app feature, if anyone has done so, can you guys share your code so that i can see how to make use of this new feature please,

thanks guys,
Cheers,
Walter

ssg · Feb 14, 2012

Sure... first you need the latest SDK and wrapper library. Email your AM if you don't have it yet.

Here is the code:

B4X:

Dim lbicon As LeadboltWrapper
lbicon.Initialize("")
lbicon.AsynchTask = True
lbicon.loadLeadboltAds("xxxxxxxx", lbicon.ADS_ICON)

In manifest, extra permission needed:

B4X:

    <uses-permission android:name="com.android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT"/>

Hope that helps!

LeadBolt app ad icon

thanks ssg, i already talked to brian, and he told me to just download the new sdk from my help/faqs section in their website, i did that and i can only see a file called leadboltcontroller.jar which is version 3.0 i have moved that file to the library files inside the basic4android folder, i still do not see a difference, in your example the command lbicon.ADS_ICON does not appear when i try to implement it, what do you think i'm doing wrong?
