adbuddiz or admob

[Douglas Farias]

Hi all.
Today i see this site
https://www.adbuddiz.com/developers

and this have plugin for B4A

someone here already used adbuddiz?
its best of admob?

I really like the rewarded video ad and the intestitial ads
Really fast and good quality

Someone know about adbuddiz?
Good to make money any experience?

@ilan used it but he wrote in some posts that the profit was less than with admob.

Might have changed when they have more people using their ads tho but only active adbuddiez users can confirm this.

As i remember they had not always ads for the region i needed so i had low revenew but i also did not tried it for long time only few days.

The problem was when i requested an ad in my app i get a response sorry no ads available for your region. Seems like not a lot people promote in adbuddiez at least not in my region.

Give it a try, you have nothing to loose

I will try this month
about speed and quality it wins a lot of admob
very fast and beautiful ads

and i really like the new function rewarded video, this is very good for games, give coins, points, lifes etc.
Now i need know only about money

i will try for a time, i post here the results later 1 or 2 months

Another good point its the app size.

Admob 3,49mb to adbuddiz 900kb

All my apps lost 3/3,5mb

I guess Admob includes the entire google play bloated stuff aswell while you're not actually using it.

It should just be a few Kb as it's just some http request and a file download.

My experience with Adbuddiz:
USD $100 in one year / ~1600 active users / ~12,000 app downloads

meh...

 

[sorex]

is that good or bad? (I'm clueless about these things)

 

[wonder]

In my view it's bad, because you don't get paid for the ad being displayed.
They only pay per click + install.

 

[sorex]

isn't that the case for all of them?

 

[wonder]

I believe that admob pays per click and per 1000 views.
Anyway, I don't really believe in ad revenue.
The big money comes from in-app purchases.

Admob pays only for clicks.
And a click that was performed at the first second of a incoming interstitial ad will not count.

The big money in my opinion is in ads. You just need to have a lot installs .
1600 is not enough.

With 100k you start earn good money (you can earn between 3k-6k $ per month)

People here did it, the problem is that things can change rapidly so you always need to take care how to keep people using your app.

All good apps are been copied very fast so the competition is very big.

Selling apps is something i dont belive in.
I did way more with ads then sellings.

Game of War and Mobile Strike are not ad-supported and they have enough money to hire Kate Upton and Arnold Schwarzenegger from their marketing campaigns, respectively.

Game of War:

there are millions of apps and you posted a link of top 50 apps, and i dont know if all of them does not show ads but even if not there is a 98% drop from #1 to #50

so this is not a good example or something that can say anything about statistics.

its like saying every year you have 1000 lotto winner so this is a good way to become rich. but the reality is different. you have millions that does not win.

because today almost everything is for free why should people pay for it. and if youtube would ask for a fee to watch videos i believe they will go bankruptcy

it does not mean that people don't buy apps but the statistics say that free apps has much more downloads then paid apps.

You made a good point.

Maybe I'm just pessimist towards (my own) commercial success.
Regarding my work, the biggest dream I have is one day finding a Youtube video where a respected game reviewer says something like:
"Guys you have to check this out, this game is awesome!! One of the best games I've played this year!!"
My life would be complete!

I have put the adbuddiz on some apps, low trafic apps.

Compared with admob, this same apps with low trafic make me on admob 0,35/1,00 day
i will test for one month, i know i can win 2 3 dollars on just a one install, but pay for install i think is not a good ideia.

30 Clicks Yesterday + 52 Before.
I think this clicks now on admob make more then 1,00


@wonder

can you share screens of install, views and money of your adbuddiz?

Sure, but I won't be able to do so until tomorrow. The Adbuddiz website is blocked here (I'm at work).

 

[sorex]

indeed bad examples. those games are all about bying extra coins, weapons and other crap to get a bit far in the game.

google play is full of comments like "it's impossible to get to level xx without buying several things"

 

[wonder]

I mentioned such games as an example of commercial success, as in, they do make a lot of money.
I don't see the bad example.

The userbase may complain about the freemium model, but the truth is that their business model works really well.

 

[sorex]

I meant bad in the scope of admod earning. most of their earnings is from in-app purchases I guess.
