Hi all,
Attached is yet another monetisation library, Pontiflex Sign Up ads. This will be the first and for now the only sign-up ad available for B4A.
Implementation is a little different from other ad libraries.
1 - Register yourself at Pontiflex <-- In "How did you hear about us?" section, please key in B4A.
2 - You will need your AM to help set up ad units for your apps. This restriction is in place now as some developers have mis-used the feature. Developer control is being re-implemented according to my AM.
3 - Once the setup is done, go to manage app, and download app contents. Basically you will need the AppInfo.json file and pontiflex_sdk.jar
4 - Copy both files into your "Files" folder (do not import via the IDE, as we need the proper file naming / cases)
5 - In manifest (I'm old-school, no manifest editor for me) :
Permissions:
Get accounts is necessary to pre-fill the email field which helps in a higher take-up of the ad offers!
6 - In code is simple:
Implement some control strategy if you do not want to always show the ad (maybe once a day?). I MIGHT update the library in future with this feature built in..
7 - Release your app and get some moolah!
Give it a go if you'd like a sign up ad thingy. If you'd like to see the ad in action, download my Classical Music app.
They dont have offers for many countries though, so that might be a rather downside to it. BUT, their payout is not bad for when they do have ads.
I am also told that you get $0.05 for every valid US email registration. I am not sure where to see this report though in their dashboard.
Ok, let me know how it goes!
Cheers!
