In-Game Advertising

Hello Everyone,

I would just like to know what in-game advertising services some of you have used and what you have
the best stories/profits from ?

Currently I’m using admob but even after about 2,000 requests I’m seeing a very low rate of income on
my new game which I currently released for free : http://goo.gl/sX6st . I currently only have my ad
display during gameplay and menus and no fullscreen or push ads so maybe I should switch my tactic…

Recently I’ve been seeing ads for Airpush saying its more profitable but truely I’d liek to make it easy
to manage money as well for upcoming released as well. Is airpush or other services worth the trouble
and easy to integrate ?

Thank you for your support!

I think the ad revenue system might be a bit broken for smaller games, honestly. It seems more like a supplement for free versions of paid games rather than fully paid games.

Our next project is a much bigger endeavor, so it’s all a curiosity at this point. I don’t mind making small amounts over a long period of time, but if the well drains fast on something small i’m kinda worried.

Our next game is of much more value and has ads in it that can be removed with an IAP so I think that will do much better for us in that run.

Yeah, mind that I don’t speak from personal experience. I was looking into this as an option for an Ouya port of a game but it’s looking really difficult to have in-game ads cover any sort of real costs. There might be some people here who have some more hands-on experience as far as actually integrating them are concerned.

Perhaps uploading to multiple Android markets (Amazon, Nook, Yandex, etc). Many of them will be free to join.

2,000 is very little(extremely little). It’s not that adMob provides little; it’s that your requests aren’t very much. You want in the millions.

@ Mokko : Thanks ! I may spread it around for sure so I appreciate i t.
@ Dabeh : Thanks for the advice, I didn’t really have a set number in my head of what i was aiming for, so thousands seemed like a lot to me but I’ll try and figure out a way to get much more.

Thank you all for your help !
