[android-developers] Re: Greystripe experiences?

2010-08-23 Thread charlie
hey -

in full disclosure, i'm connected to the company so do not have an
unbiased opinion. that being said:

1. i know they do monthly payments. i've never heard of issues with
payments.
2. i believe their eCPM is competitive. when asking about eCPM of
networks, make sure you take fill rate into account. a really high
eCPM with minimal fill can of course be a good bit lower than a decent
eCPM on close to 100% fill.

that's my 2 biased cents!

Thanks for the info.

Hmmm, that's a shame that their banner ads are only in beta.  I have
no desire to include full screen ads in my app.

Have you also tried mobclix?  I'd be interested in any comparisons
between mobclix and greystripe.

Cheers ...

you may try admob. CPM is OK (for my apps), fill rates over 95%,
and monthly payments with a month delay.

They do quarterly payments, and it's delayed for 4-6 weeks after the
quarter ends.  The wait is horrible, but I've never not got a payment.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Greystripe experiences?

2010-08-25 Thread Justin Giles
Actually, they are moving to a monthly payment system with a 90 waiting
period on the first payment, then monthly after that with a $100 minimum
amount you have to have earned before being paid.  They focus on full screen
ads for Android, but have banner ads now in "beta".  eCPM fluctuated wildly
while they were my primary ad company.  But overall, they were competitive
and were getting better over time.  Greystripe definitely falls into the
category of "don't focus on the day to day numbers, but focus on the long
term trends."  I would recommend giving them a try.

AdMob is hit or miss for a lot of people.  Some do well with it, others do
not.  Mobclix has a horrible reputation for handling the payouts, but a good
reputation for having good CPMs.  I contacted Greystripe recently about
their banner ads and integration with AdWhirl on Android and they said they
are close to releasing integration with AdWhirl, which I would assume mean
that the banner ads for Android would come out of beta.  I think it would
behoove you to give several companies a try over a few months and see which
works best for  your type of application.

I will echo this.   Admob seems to pay promptly but does not have the same
ecpm as mobclix.  Mobclix payout requires 100 bucks minimum and seems to
come whenever they damn well please.  Promises to me were over a month late.
 I actually have the both integrated and can move from one to another by
changing a variable in my rest server.But I'm kinda crazy like that.
