You can optimize all those other factors but if your app is only in the hands of a few hundred or even few thousand people, it's not going to add up to much.

Also "most" of the revenue made by ads is probably a result of "very few" apps. > It's just a matter of getting a large piece of the cake instead of just a > tiny one ;-). > Exactly. But the number of developers that manage to get this large piece are very few - and I'm guessing the OP is not going to be one of them (no offense) - at least not anytime soon.

That is the very rare exception. The average developer is pretty much guaranteed to make more money on selling a paid app outright than relying on ads. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
