bye bye push notification ads

hgvyas123

with android 4.2 user can select whether app can give push notification to them or not and due to this i am getting almost half decrease in my revenue from push notification ads any one else have similar experience.

Users doesn't like it at all so i don't use it now. I have passive revenue from airpush and it is about 10$ per day last three months. So i don't notice any changes.

10$ per day seems nice, how many impression you have per days?

Does airpush have banner ads like Admob? Can you compare them?

unlying

I don't know about banners really, but i listen that they added it in SDK 6. But i never use it.
Main problem of airpush that many users in Russia has antivirus Dr.Web that pushes notification when you install application with airpush. It says "Not a virus", but nobody read that so i have really many reviews:"Dr.Web says about virus" and 1 mark.

"push notification ads" I think that says it all. Really uncalled for, I see some appear on my son's phone that he really should not have appearing. Glad it's an option in 4.2. I don't see why an app should be able to push ads as notifications at all, it's overly intrusive.

@unlying: Nice. However, from your experience, if I don't use push notification, I'd better find another ads publisher to avoid 1 star rating

@moopf: yeah Apple is strict about that, there's such a rule in their guideline.

well actually ad itself is annoying in the game but as a developer i know my (and most of us )games will not earn much if i put them as paid so basically ads are good option for me so basically we have to put ads in the game after all we are doing this to earn about push notification ads it also have its advantage like it is not coming during play time and not even disturbing the user while he is enjoying the game and on top of that user can also opt out for lifetime with few steps. i am using push ads in 3 game along with admob and still their average rating is around 4 but anyways currently i am also not using push ads and happy with admob and adcolony.

@hgvyas123 is your fillrate good, esp. for interstitial ads?
Have you tried Chartboost, InMobi, etc? Maybe rotating among them if one is not available (or use a mediator service)

@phongtt
in admob my fillrate is always above 99% so far i had sent 80 lakh request with fill rate of 98.83% , i think adcolony and chartboost doesn't show fillrate or number of request just completed video count for adcolony and impression delivered from chartboost but both are good. never used inmobi much happy with admob.
