I run banner "ads" in my main app that are used for promotions of other apps, news and other things. It appears on the bottom of the display.
There's also an "opt-out" option in the app where the user can stop these from running. Up to just recently, I was unable to tell what the percentage of users were that opted out of the banners. Turns out that 96% of users have allowed the ads to run even though they can stop them. That means that only 4% of users decided to stop showing ads. Those 4% are certainly vocal though. Before I had the opt-out, I got lots of hate mail from furious users who thought it was an affront to their personal space to show ads. By letting them opt out, they have been silenced completely. I would recommend to anyone who decided to run ads in their app to have an option to allow users to opt out for free. The 4% who are against advertising won't click on the ads anyway so it's better to just let them stop the ads and be done with it. Making them pay to get rid of the ads just infuriates those people anyway. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
