How to maximize your eCPMs using LeadBolt’s Advanced Overlays

Posted on by

You’ve heard the buzz about LeadBolt’s Advanced Overlays. It’s true – our app developers are generating extremely high eCPMs with this signature ad format. The good news is your app can do that too!

Beat the banner blindness – multiply your eCPMs!
Advanced Overlays enable users to “unlock” another level of your game, view quiz results or gain access to exclusive areas in your app, by completing one of the offers on your advanced overlay.

Unlike banners, advanced overlays are more noticeable and hence generate higher eCPMs. The advanced overlay appears when the users are at the peak of their engagement– right before they reach to the content they desire. All these attributes make advanced overlays a very effective ad format which will maximize your eCPMs!

Why use LeadBolt’s Advanced Overlays?
You can fully customize the colors, text and design to fit the theme of your app and retain your branding. LeadBolt’s advanced algorithms ensure that the offers shown are relevant to your app users. Users have an option to close/skip the ad if needed, making this ad type very user friendly.

Let’s see how Advanced Overlays work:

Integrate LeadBolt’s unified SDK
Remember our latest unified SDK gives you access to all premium ad formats which generate much higher revenues than just banners. One SDK also enables you to test several ad formats to see which works best within your app.

Earn More With Push Notifications

Posted on by

Push notifications are LeadBolt’s latest proven and engaging method of app monetization.

This new ad format is so effective, that the average eCPM’s for push notification ads on Android & Apple iOS are currently $15+ on US traffic and great results internationally. Some publishers are achieving $100+ eCPMs for US traffic! We have both recurring and our unique on-demand notification type that puts the publisher in full control.

Create Buzz

Push notifications allow you to display ads on the homepage of an app users’ mobile device, even when the app is not being used. If you are not convinced yet, check out our LeadBolt push notification promotional video here: http://www.leadboltapps.com/push/

Earn higher eCPM’s

Push notifications generate significantly higher CTR’s, since users view them when it is convenient in their own time rather than during a game play or app usage. As a result, revenues are significantly higher compared to standard in-app banner ads. However, push notifications can be effectively used in conjunction with banner ads as an additional revenue stream in your app monetization strategy.

Monetize Inactive Users

Have you ever wondered how long are the users going to stick with you app before downloading a new one? Depending on the popularity of your app, its active life span might only be few days long. With traditional ad formats, this is the only time you can monetize the users. With push notification ads, you can reach and monetize inactive and intermittent users very effectively.

Transparency for Users

Developers can control exactly who gets push notifications and how often. Once you log in to your LeadBolt account to create your ad, you will be able to easily customize the ad to suit your app, including frequency and targeting of user types. Users also have the option to opt out.

So what are you waiting for? Start creating your push notifications today!

How to increase your app installs for free

Posted on by

Chances are you have developed a great app. Maybe you even have couple of them. Now what?

When it comes to measuring the success of your apps, the key metrics are: install rates, number of active users, amount of app reviews and quality of user ratings. Many app developers realize that marketing becomes crucial these days. There are many ways to market your app but most of them will require some investment.

Let’s focus on increasing your app installs without breaking the bank.

Did you know?

…that you can utilize some of the big Android and iPhone forums out there to promote your app for free?

Simply create a free forum member account and you will be ready to get your app exposed to users and other app devs out there. Make sure to introduce yourself, write a brief description of your app and ask other members to provide feedback on it. You might get some good responses that will help you fine-tune your app but most importantly, people will check out what you have.

It’s a good idea to post few screenshots of your app and a link to the marketplace where the app can be downloaded.

Some of the forums offering relevant sections for reviewing apps are:

AnroidForums.com:
http://androidforums.com/application-reviews/

AndroidCentral.com:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/games/

AndroidCommunity:
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f12/

iPhoneDevSDK:
http://www.iphonedevsdk.com/forum/shameless-advertising/

Some of the forums will allow you to create a signature that will be displayed every time you post or answer people’s questions – allowing an additional crowd to see your app.

IMPORTANT: Always make sure to comply with the forum rules when posting or responding!

You can also gain free traffic to your app by signing up to app directories such as AppBrain.com and GetJar.com.

The more people that get to know about your apps and use them, the more money you’ll make using LeadBolt’s high performing in-app ad formats.
