Any feedback on the new ad networks by now?
I guess most of us have used a couple of the new ad networks Andromo added.
I personally tried LeadBolt and StartApp but both with small success, but my running downloads are too few to have a distinct evaluation result.
Can you share some examples of revenue from the new networks? I am particularly interested in checking out AppLovin.

have had so many other projects and private stuff going on in the past couple of month, I havent had any time for reading or posting in the forum.
Anyway I am here and alive :-)
So far I havent tested anything of the new ad-networks and I am not really sure, if I will (admob is working really good for me).
I only use startapp for some apps not made through andromo and they do ok (but below admob).
I was trying to use startapp for andromo apps submitted to Samsung with target market China (since we cannot use admob supported apps for China - on Samsung - anymore), but they all got declined for some technical reason. I still need to check into this ....
Thanks!
@anteos, sure, it's nice to know we have some high-quality alternatives available. I too am sticking to AdMob only for now, but I'll experiment with other ad networks in my next app.
I tested 3 new apps and had both admob and startapp - banner and interstitial - enabled
Startapp:
2,490 impressions eCPM $0.16 makes a "whooping" income of $0.41
Admob:
2450 impressions Request RPM €3.23 Income €8.17
This was simply another "Tapgage-Dejavu" ...
I am currently interested in ad networks which follow admob's pay per impression/pay per click. Any ideas?
Sorry for the delayed reply.
I had actually updated my apps and removed the amazon ads months ago from all android stores except Amazon. I cannot say that I was not satisfied with Amazon. It sure performs way better than StartApp.
Now that I come to think about it, I don't even know why I had not used Amazon ads for the apps that I do not want to upload in GP...
:-/
Thanks for the suggestion... maybe combining StartApp and Amazon is the smartest idea.
Yup I have seen them too. Even more scared to see someone report he got banned from GP due to applovin years ago. But I guess you can never fully trust what users say in the forums.
Just waiting for airpush here. Really really need a cpm banner and interstitial
Agreed except MobileCore which is good for me. Amazon actually is not that bad either but the geo is extremely limited.
Airpush is CPM, this is why we are all after it I guess.
I have not tried them yet. Main reason is that I have not seen them online in MMWA forums (which means they do not have enough staff or not willing to promote and support through there). Moreover, the few feedback from users that I did see there is not good. They do compliment the looks of the ads but complain about revenue.
@colinadams
I wonder if you have some internal results of your testings in your own apps with various ad networks, like for example before implementing a new one in public Andromo build. If you do, could you create a post, maybe updated monthly, with what the trends look like for the ad networks that you do have available in Andromo?
I am sure you got a way bigger userbase than any single Andromo publisher. Perhaps we could chip in when we got enough stats too. Would help us decide which network to implement in our apps based on what other users (and you) report.
The delay of Airpush is making me more and more agitated to start using a new ad network...
Thanks. Seems like I will let it pass.
I know a guy from Russia who swears by MobileCore. Go figure.
EDIT: I've just talked to him and we have very comparable eCPM's (AdMob vs MC).
