Need some help...

When I remove root permissions (in SuperSU), the application correctly check the ports, when I put root permissions again, displays the message "1 IP address (0 host up)".

P.S.: Excuse my English.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeliboba7:
Recently I bought Samsung HomeSync (a TV media player) with Android 4.2.2 on board, it does not have a screen or touchpad, and I connected an Apple magic trackpad to it via bluetooth. Everything seems to work (clicking, tapping, multi-touch etc) except one annoying thing: the pointer on the screen is not at the same position as the actual touching point. When I tap on the trackpad, a circle appeared on the screen at a different position than the pointer, the shift between these two points is always the same. Unfortunately, I did not find anything in the settings to correct this mismatch, maybe it can be adjusted in the config files? The device is rooted.

[Mobile Ad Networks] Steppschuh192:
A few weeks ago Appodeal approached my and told me about their platform, offering higher eCPMs, instant payouts and all the other benefits, you probably know the marketing stuff. After a bit of research I thought I could give it a try and implemented the Appodeal SDK.

Because a lot of people are trying to figure out if Appodeal is trustworthy (and performant), I thought I'd let you know my experience.

I am in no way related to Google or Appodeal, here's my dev account on Google Play: Steppschuh

Coming from AdMob

I do use AdMob in all of my apps and feel happy with it. Here's an overview of my AdMob revenue from the last 30 days, filtered by the app that I used to test the Appodeal SDK.:

The drop at the end of June is where I rolled out the update with the Appodeal SDK, leading to less requests for AdMob of course. The remaining revenue after that point is generated by users that use other app versions. The average eCPM is at $1.85 (I use interstitial ad units only).

Switching to Appodeal

Account setup and SDK integration is straightforward, the Appodeal SDK for Android is very similar to the AdMob SDK. It took me just a few hours until everything was setup.

The reporting has a delay of only a few minutes, which is an advantage compared to AdMob. Here's an overview of the Appodeal revenue, generated by the exact same interstitial placement (I just swapped the ad request from AdMob to Appodeal):

So far, Appodeal is performing well (as of my understanding). Because their magic basically relies on ad mediation, I wanted to check which ad networks are outperforming AdMob here. I dived into the stats, just to find out that - surprise - AdMob is responsible for filling almost all the ad requests.

Because of AdMobs arguably low eCPM, I thought Appodeal would use AdMob as a backfill network only. But it turns out that the Appodeal in-house network can't serve a lot of ads yet (although they perform good).

Miscellaneous

The highly advertised "Immediate Payout" works fine (I used PayPal), but comes with a 2% fee. If you don't need the money, you can still wait for the regular payout, which doesn't contain any fee.

Appodeal offers a free JSON API that you can use for reporting to your own, custom dashboards.

You can't manually configure the accounts that Appodeal creates for you in the different ad networks. Personally, I think this would be really nice to have.

They have an affiliate program, so if you want to give Appodeal a try, please use my referral link: http://appodeal.com/+65e439ded9c0fadc41b8af37514f600a

If you have any questions regarding AdMob or Appodeal, let me know.

Admob vs appodeal

Hello,

Based on your experience which ad network do you think is better?
[Mobile Ad Networks] Steppschuh192:
I think AdMob is the more solid solution to rely on, but I will keep using Appodeal in my app to see how they can increase my revenue over time. I feel like there's potential there.

Appodeal vs Admob

Greetings, excellent post,

I wonder if you continue using appodeal, that country is the traffic for that application?

revenues continue to rise? It has a better eCPM?

I'm using admob with 200k print the month of interstitial, revenues are $ 150 or so :( , I'm looking for a better network ads
[Mobile Ad Networks] Steppschuh192:
Hey,

Appodeal still heavily relies on AdMob, but their house ads are performing better than before. The eCPM raised from $2.31 to $5.75 for me.

I've attached the stats from the past 30 days. My main traffic is coming from the US and EU.
[Mobile Ad Networks] birkot:
Thanks for the info, I'll try for 1 month and share information
[Mobile Ad Networks] beetlebum77:
[MENTION=2598900]Steppschuh[/MENTION] Thnx a lot for this post! I'd like to share my experience. I tried MobFox (4 months) - it was ok and HeyZap (2 months) - left much to be desired. This July i decided to find another mediation solution and saw this post. I'm skeptical by nature and wasn't waiting for a miracle from Appodeal. I also thought about Supersonic, but they pay NET 30/45 and the min payout is $100 against Appodeal's min $20 (+ they pay on demand).

I use interstitials in my app (it's Geo is Europe and the US) and on the last week of August the average eCPM was 5.1, I got about 500K impressions, which brought me about $2.5. I'd say that i'm more than happy with Appodeal's service and would advise it. BTW in the last few weeks the eCPM increased for me as well, now it's 5.5-6 (last 2 weeks)
[Mobile Ad Networks] smiley.dev:
Hey guys! And what about SDK integration? Can you compare Admob, Heyzapp and Appodeal SDK? Which of them is smaller, faster and simply to integrate? I want to try some mediation for my music app, but a little afraid of "third-party code integration headache". Can you advise something?
[Mobile Ad Networks] TonyMnemonic:
does appodeal ban you for no apparent reason, like admob?
[Mobile Ad Networks] Steppschuh192:
As stated in my first post, integrating the Appodeal SDK is exactly like integrating the AdMob SDK (usage is the same, too). The Appodeal SDK a bit larger, though. I haven't used Heyzapp.
[Mobile Ad Networks] beetlebum77:
I haven't faced that ban issue and hopefully won't =) But still there is a big advantage on Appodeal's side, because their support responds within 24 hours and digs into a problem, unlike AdMob's, which to my mind is quite apathetic and approachless.

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

The size of Heyzapp's SDK for Android is 3,5 Mb, Appodeal's is 2,8 Mb

Check comments above =) AdMob SDK gives access to AdMob only, Heyzapp's and Appodeal's support numerous networks, so it's a matter of choice. I personally stick to Appodeal's because of size and the simplicity of integration

Greetings, 4 days to integrate the SDK ago, I have a question, because the blocks created in AdMob automatically with Chrome extension ads do not have the option to upload videos on the ads, just images and text, I'm just using banner and interstitial but I want to switch between interstitial and video , from where the video if AdMob ad units do not allow video
[Mobile Ad Networks] Steppschuh192:
I don't got your question

You should probably ask the Appodeal support team
[Mobile Ad Networks] pavelgolubev:
Pavel from Appodeal here.

Along with a great technology we at Appodeal do a lot of research and A/B tests.

A part of such tests include running different ad formats from various ad networks.

It is relatively easy for us to do it, because we have a lot of our own apps, that we use to test new ad networks.

So, when we were researching video ad networks, we tested Admob as well.

The main reason, why we decided not to support Admob videos is because their performance it pretty poor in comparison with other guys like Applovin, UnityAds, Chartboost and Vungle. Truth be told, Admob videos can barely compete with these ad networks in terms of performance.

One of earlier Appodeal SDK included Admob videos, but since performance was too low, the amount of video traffic allocated to Admob was always minimal.

The other reason is that Admob does not support rewarded videos (which is the most common use-case for videos). It means that you can not incentivize users to watch videos.

Based on the above research, it does not make any sense for a publisher to run Admob videos.

I hope this changes some time soon.

Meanwhile, we have a really good set of video ad networks in place: Applovin, UnityAds, Chartboost, Vungle, Liverail, Spotxchange, Adcolony, MoPub. All of the above plus more produces optimal results.

As I've promised I share my experience with Appodeal for the first month. I can say firstly that it's my first experience with ad networks integrating to my app. I used interstitialls in my music player for the first time.

[IMG="appodeal stats"]https://yadi.sk/i/HBmwR97OkSExi[/IMG]

Unfortunatelly I haven't seen such figures in my eCPM as [MENTION=6964543]beetlebum77[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4944590]Steppschuh192[/MENTION], but I'm sure that it'll increase in November and December. I'd rather pretty to stay with them because of their really responsiveand professional support.

Thanks for sharing your stats

Hey Stepp, thanks for sharing this. How has Appodeal been performing lately for you?
[Mobile Ad Networks] Steppschuh192:
It's extremely constant (so is my user base), in the past 30 days my average eCPM was $4.34. Had no payment issues or anything similar so far, so I'll keep using Appodeal.

These are the CTRs of all my impressions mediated by Appodeal:

9.32% Applovin

6.00% Appodeal Marketplace

2.44% AdMob

2.21% Amazon Ads
[Mobile Ad Networks] fapste:
Can it be used on android wear?
[Mobile Ad Networks] Steppschuh192:
There's no dedicated SDK for Android Wear apps. You could probably request ad units on your mobile handset and pipe them through to a wearable, but I wouldn't recommend to show ads on a wearable anyway. It's against the Android Wear UX guidelines and you will loose your users in no time.

1:1 eCPM Comparison

What was the average eCPM for Abmob before the drop from the update? It's a unfair comparison because the drop lowered the average significantly.
[Mobile Ad Networks] glxsoftnet:
Thanks for the comparison and sharing.

Due to the bad reputation of banner ads, I avoided ads so far. As long as my app isnt downloaded much, it doesnt make a difference anyway. :cool:

But good to know such insight of different ad-platforms.
[Mobile Ad Networks] Steppschuh192:
That's true, I didn't think about it. Here's a screenshot from the stats before I switched, the RPM is 2.07€.
[Mobile Ad Networks] emailtracker:
Thanks. I'm wondering how admob eCPM doubled when you switched to mediation. How does it double when all that changed was that you requested admob ads through mediation. Was there anything else that changed?
[Mobile Ad Networks] Steppschuh192:
That's a question that the guys from Appodeal should answer. I'm guessing that in my case they request less / better targeted ads from AdMob, resulting in a higher eCPM. Nothing else has changed. Also keep in mind that reporting is done in different currencies.
[Mobile Ad Networks] emailtracker:
Hi Pavel, can you give some input on this? I'm thinking of adding appodeal too but double ecpm seems too good to be true.

---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

Even with matching currencies the ecpm is still close to doubled. Mediation just requests ads, I can't see how they are able to request better targeted ads if you can do the same targeting without mediation. Hopefully he can give some input.
[Mobile Ad Networks] droidwallp:

Yes appodeal give you more revenue, same for me but I think that admob is the best in this world.
[Mobile Ad Networks] SickAppMate:
Do you need admob account for appodeal?

My AdSense account got banned for ''Policy Violations'' (No problems for 7 years, thought those people telling stories about doing nothing bad and getting banned were lying. Until this sh*t happened to me too) and so I lost my admob account aswell.
[Mobile Ad Networks] Steppschuh192:
I think you can use Appodeal without AdMob, but they serve a lot of ads for me, so I guess you won't have a high fillrate if you don't connect your account.
[Mobile Ad Networks] birkot:
It's a scam

It's a scam, if increases in eCPM admob but takes away traffic and assigns it to other networks that do not generate any $ (Direct Campaigns, Appodeal Marketplace and others), only that traffic is offset by Amazon Ads which has a high eCPM.

in short you optimize some networks and gives you a better result of an increase of 10% but takes away traffic to profit from them without any generarte $.

Additional is very serious that the SDK contains a malware, my app was getting negative ratings and reviews of malware, I do not pay attention, then I wrote a user via email with details of the malware in my app, I was surprised !! my app with malware? yes the SDK contains a variant of malware MobiDash.

I've notified all Technical Support appodeal no answer to this, I removed the SDK Appodeal my app and leave only admod, sorry appodeal, it was too good to be perfect lol.

After this experience I Admob optimized to do what to Appodeal, you grant them admob with different ad units and different eCPM

Hi, Tanya from Appodeal here

Appodeal Marketplace is active when other ad networks doesn't provide you more expensive ads. And it has cpm model, as you can see in your dashboard.

We wrote to ESET two weeks ago about it and they updated their signature databases as this was a false positive. I'm sorry about it, but it was necessary to wait responce from ESET team about this issue. And here is you can see their answer and response date:

And we informed you during the day about it
[Mobile Ad Networks] SickAppMate:
Tanya can you please answer? Do I need admob account for appodeal or I can earn money on appodeal without admob account?
[Mobile Ad Networks] pavelgolubev:
I am sorry for the late response.

Will try to be more active here.

Active Admob account is required in order to start working with Appodeal and serve banners or interstitials.

Admob is NOT required if you are interested only in rewarded videos or native ads through Appodeal.

[Mobile Ad Networks] usman farhat:
What happens to your current earnings in admob? I mean if appodeal is paying me for admob then what would admob's console show? And please confirm that even if I have 1$ payable earnings, world appodeal still pay me? (Wire transfer does not cost anything)

And does admob allow such integration? Because the website's video tells me to install an extension which will run a script.
[Mobile Ad Networks] Steppschuh192:
Revenue generated by AdMob will be payed out by Google, not by Appodeal.

There's no minimum limit for payments through Appodeal (at least none that I know).

The script ran by the extension just creates the ad units that Appodeal will manage inside your AdMob account. This is a one-time setup step only and doesn't violate AdMob TOS.
[Mobile Ad Networks] usman farhat:
Thanks! Makes me want to try it in my next application. So if I get it right, I will only have to manage 2 accounts. One of admob which I already manage, and the other of Appodeal which will take care of all the other networks, right?

Exactly. Good luck with your revenue ;)

Hi,

Do you know if appodeal has good worldwide coverage? If let's say I have a lot of users in Philippines, does appodeal generate revenue there as well?

Thanks.
[Mobile Ad Networks] Steppschuh192:
Because of the fact that AdMob can fill almost every request, the coverage is very good. I've attached a CSV of my fillrates and eCPMs by country (rename .txt to .csv). In the Philippines, I have a fillrate of 100% with an eCPM of 4.63$ (although this may not be representative).

Excellent Post , Pal , Very helpful

MY Question is , If your traffic is coming from India then what's gonna be the eCpm for interstitial ads? Do Reply

Thank You.
[Mobile Ad Networks] pavelgolubev:
Appodeal publishes average eCPM across multiple ad networks on a weekly basis at

https://www.appodeal.com/reports/

Average eCPM in India on iOS: https://www.appodeal.com/reports/2016-11-28/ios/in

Android: https://www.appodeal.com/reports/2016-11-28/android/in

Please note, that each application is different. eCPM depends on many factors: app category, frequency capping, placement, audience, volume, fill rate and many other. So in your case it might be significantly higher or lower.

Hello, I released an app some months ago, I'm using only AdMob with decent (I think) earnings considered the numbers of user. I have around 80/100 user for day and I gain around 8/10$ for months. My app use only banner and top countries are Usa, Germany and Russia.

Do you think that with Appodeal I will increase my earnings?

[Mobile Ad Networks] ShpotaSb:
They have added branded ads from advertisers like Sony and Nike, these pay for impressions.

Also, cross promo campaigns are updated, you can place your own ads on the backfill so any unfilled ad requests will be filled with ads of your games, resulting in increase of traffic in your less popular apps. Pretty cool feature.
[Mobile Ad Networks] appdeko:
Hi Steppschuh192,

From your experience, is appodeal's RPM/CPC consistent?

I'm considering switch from admob, since admob CPC suddenly dropped from average 0.04 to 0.01 EUR in last few days and stays low, like never before.

View attachment 4291543

Thanks
[Mobile Ad Networks] ShpotaSb:
The drop is most likely due to some ad campaign reaching its deadline and they pulled it off in one of your top countries. In these case, Appodeal and other mediation services would be greatly beneficial as it would give you access to several ad networks, so another ad campaign could take over.

Based on my experience a mediation is way better than ad networks directly, I say give it a go with Appodeal.
