>> The idea of "irritate the user until he agrees to pay" just seems wrong to me.
In my opinion, it is far better to let users opt out of ads for free than use advertising as some sort of black mail to push users into paying. In our app, only 2.7% of users choose to opt out of banners. The rest let them display. We have premium users who choose not to opt out as well. A small percentage of users hate ads. Giving them the opportunity to just remove them easily and freely increases the acceptance of your app and also helps give it a positive image. One thing to keep in mind. By not allowing free opt out, all you are doing is decreasing the CTR for your ads and that lowers revenue. Part of secret sauce for determining what you are paid is the CTR, so keeping that high will increase your revenue. Those that would opt out will never click on an ad. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
