I am trying to better understand various platforms to serve ads in my Android application. It is a free application and is a Location based reminder - has been localized into 7 languages. It is a native Android App. It is not yet on the market place. I want to stick in the Ads support before I publish it. The Application requires Internet access even if I do not use serve the Ads.
I started assuming I can use AdSense, but then my application has been rejected. I do not have website or a blog with high traffic. What options do I have? I looked at other Google Ads Platform - AdMob/AdWhirl and DoubleClick. And then there are those non-Google Platforms such as Smatoo and Mojiva.
These various platforms and different approaches, suggest it is a crowded field and confusing too for a newcomer. Can the readers please provide their insights and suggestions based on their experience? What options do I have? Thank you
With my apps I have done decent with both AdMob and Mobclix. Currently I use a hybrid of Mobclix as the Primary and failing over to Admob when Mobclix does not return an ad. The good thing about Mobclix is that it is a mediator between 15-20 different ad companies including Smatoo, Mojiva, etc. So you don't have to individually register to each one.
You might also want to check out Appmobi, Leadbolt and Burstly. Leadbolt has some high performance ad types that do way better than banners if placed well.
We have done well with Mocean mobile managing yield and perfromance for inventory, and mojiva selling it.
Hope that helps.
