In Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France I also saw pretty much exclusively geo-targeted ads in the local language. The click-through rate with those seems to be much higher. Does anyone know though if the access_coarse_location is really required for this? After all you can get a users

I went with these permissions for 3-4 months and didn't ever see a geo- targeted advertisement on my phones. Maybe US users get them, but looking at CTR/eCPM I get a feeling it's all the same free games for ur %modelname% for them too. It's strange that your users are asking about it. I received

Well, I think if you are showing ads into your application, you should make the version adware and clearly state into the description that The version/application/release is ad supported OR contains AD. On Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 3:12 PM, Neilz neilhorn...@googlemail.com wrote: On Mar 29, 8:33

No. Your fill rate will go down, and maybe your click-through rate as well, as the ads will be less relevant. Regards Dag Koding DKIT Android On Mar 28, 11:38 am, Neilz neilhorn...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi all. I'm using Admob, and currently have android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION set

Under the circumstances, I don't agree. We're so incredibly tightly limited in the text we can use to describe our applications. And people can easily uninstall the application if they don't like the ads. If we provide a non-ad paid version, they can upgrade instead. There's little downside to

I agree with Bob... until google expands the market text allowed, if you need that space to add more info for the app, I'd use it for that. Is there any census on naming the title of the app title - ad-supported for example? So that the title clearly indicates its the ad-supported version? On

Yes, title would be definitely good thing to indicate this., but what I have done is released Free(Ad supported ) as name i.e Facebook Plus and paid one as Facebook Plus(Ad Free). Thank you! Abdul Mateen. On Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 11:34 PM, Kevin Duffey andjar...@gmail.com wrote: I agree with

The location is also used to determine the language the ad should use. In my games, Word Prospector and Chasseur de Mots, I essentially have ads in english and in french, and, for some reasons, click on the ads in french are much more expensives ! So if your application is used world wide, I

Hi Yahel. Yes, I've read all that, and also asked on the group. But unfortunately, that group only seems to post once every few days, it's not moderated properly. I need to know quicker than that! Any other experiences with this? On Mar 28, 12:45 pm, Yahel kaye...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, This is
