Hi All,

Is it right that apart from the tech support element the iads is the extra if you pay 499 usd?

Thanks

John

    Yes as of right now the pro subscription only gets you iAds and URL forwarding. Other than that nothings different. Hopefully that will change in the near future :)

    Are people making the 499 back in iads over a period, what would people expect to be the ROI.

    I would doubt the majority of apps will make the 499 back in iads alone.

    But it's not too hard to make 500 in a year on the appstore.

    For me, the URL behaviour is far more useful.

    My first app has done about 46 sales in first 3 days, The game cost about 1500 of my time to build so I worked on I need 1000-1100 sales to break even. I was just wandering if a FREE iads after each level may be an option.

    From what I have read no. You need thousands of downloads and people to click on the adds to make money. I would not just put and ad. Maybe make a timer and after like seconds the button to the next level appears. On that same page I would also but a link to full game. <><

    So, how is iads working ?

    Did you get some money if someone is clicking on the ads, or is it just with the number of view?
    How is it working if you're not connected ?

    How intrusive and how do you choose to implement it on your aps ?
    DO you choose when and where this is going to be.

    On the same topics, because I don't know anything about this
    What is the URL forwarding for and when qould that be used (Forwarding from where to where) ?

    Thx

    You get about $0.005 (yes thats a half cent) for each view and around $0.20-$0.30 for a click. However to get a decent amount of ads in you app you need to be getting several hundred downloads a day. And no most people will not get $500 back in ads but the URL forwarding is a good feature and most of us didn't have to pay $500 when 0.9.0 released they gave all current paid members a pro subscription for $99 :)

    Thx Tenrdrmer

    I guess even if i'm paying the Pro, I would prefere my game if I ever do one, to be 0.99 with no ads than Free with some...
    Is it possible to offer two versions of your game / aps ?
    one for free with Iads, and one for a price without BTW ?

    What is exactly URL forwarding ? :)... I must say I don't completly guess what is it or when and why this would be used ?

    Thx

    Yes you can do a free with ads and paid with no ads. I've heard apple is trying to get away from this but I think they are more forgiving when your paid version is offered as a way to have a game without ads.

    URL forwarding allows you to put in a link in your app say to link from your free version to the appstore URL for your paid version. In Crazy.Cupid I set up links to go back to Rate the app. I also put a Facebook link to AppSolute Entertainments Facebook page and a Twitter link to tweet a preset message.
