Ads for Mobile App
 

I produced Keyboard android app and will upload it this week as free app. One of my friend told me to place mobile ad in keyboard application to generate revenue. Is it a good idea for keyboard app? Will I earn from these ads if 10000+ users download and use this app?

Re: Ads for Mobile App
 

Try pop up ads not banner ads.

Re: Ads for Mobile App
 

Agreed. I have clicked those things a thousand times by accident!

Keyboard app? For like texting? If that is the case then dont add any ads no one will download and if they do then they will never use it because they dont want to be texting and an ad pops up

Re: Ads for Mobile App
 

Good point! OP didn't mention if it was typing keyboard or music keyboard.

Music keyboard I would place ads, but not typing.

Re: Ads for Mobile App
 

really? but that's will disturbing user, that's will make user uninstall the app.

Re: Ads for Mobile App
 

It is a typing keyboard. The pop up ad is disturbing but what about banner ad at the top of keys?

Re: Ads for Mobile App
 

Many Services available for ads on Mobile app. You can use they service and advertise your product and brand on Mobile Apps. It's a paid and free both are available.

Re: Ads for Mobile App
 

Any ads on a typing keyboard will get in the user's way, I would suggest not adding any ads. Apps like that should not have ads.

Thanks for advice. I should find better way to generate revenue with this app, maybe will sell it for less than a dollar.

Great success with ads in games and wallpaper apps.

Re: Ads for Mobile App
 

An add would help you get substantial revenue because your app sounds like one that will be used very frequently by users. So if you get around 100,000+ downloads, you will get really good revenue out of ads itself.

Re: Ads for Mobile App
 

yes, sell app is the best solutions, first you must a little hard works for introducing your app to user, next your app will populer with themself. after your app populers, many user will buy your apps. so brilliant marketing to populerated your app is important on this part :)

Re: Ads for Mobile App
 

Yeah, you can advertise with only pop up ads when users open some sites, its automatically clicks your sites and download your app. So pop up ads is better than banner ads..

Re: Ads for Mobile App
 

I'd go with something like mobile popunders or even Exit re-directs. That way you're not intruding "that much" on the user experience.

Re: Ads for Mobile App
 

Just my 2 cents here, run 1 start up ad. You could obviously test many. But I have produced apps for people with 1 start up advert that have worked very well.

Cheers

A ads for the mobile app have the Keyboard android app and will upload free app from it.Thanks for the ads mobile app.

Re: Ads for Mobile App
 

You still did not mention what type of keyboard app..

Yeah if it's for typing, then you can do as you plan above, or give a free version with less basic features, then have paid version with additional features on it.

Accidental clicks on mobile ads are a big problem some say accounting for up to 40-50% of the advertisers clicks. As the app owner you have limited options really, either charge for your apps features or run in-app ads.

Re: Ads for Mobile App
 

I suggest you can bump up your keyboard and keep a banner ad of Admob or similar services running in the bottom. Interstitial or pop ups during writing an sms or a message would be really annoying, instead of that if you can place banner ad in the bottom giving user plenty of space to write you can earn out of impressions.
