Downloads from Asia & Pacific

pHghost

I'm seeing a spike of downloads from China and a bit from Russia as well. I'm not sure how legit these downloads are, but in any case, I would like to make use of this. Any recommendations on what Ad service to use which supports these markets well?

I'm using AdMob for banners and ChartBoost for interstitials and rewarded ads. Is that a good setup, or is something better for that part of the world?

Thanks for any info!

@pHghost if you look at your analytics, you will most probably see that non of the downloaded app associated with the spike were ever opened, and/or marked as Desktop download or Educational Volume Purchase. Meaning that it will not increase your ad revenue.

They are not legit. Had the same for 2 of my apps. Both got 7K downloads in one day (All from China) and the next day it was back to 0 downloads again. They both didnt make any money from it.

I am getting a few 100 fake downloads per day now, all from China... Really annoying... Not getting any revenue from it

@pHghost @-Timo- Same here! So why does this happen?
