Hi, im 15 and came up with an app idea that now has a chance of being made, The big point of the app is its free and runs of ad revenue, Iv never done this so I need help choosing a company to supply the adverts...

I know from Google that most of these company are careful not to let on how much they pay (I'm not sure why?)but any help would be appreciated to help me achieve maximum profit...

Here are my requirements:

-On certain apps where you earn points its possible to watch adverts for extra points, what company(s) offer this?

-Although lots offer different things I would like one that offers per view over clicks (I don't want one where the longer they spend the more money I get, just a certain amount each time the page loads up if this is possible)

-Maximum income (The app will be used once a day by each user and I was hoping for
 
ad revenue is based on many things which is usually why companies don't specify revenue. 90% of ad companies pay by touch through rate and installs rather then impressions (pay per view). Many android users use admob which is provided by google. The often overlooked concept by people new to ads is that through admob you can also contract though several other ad companies.

To maximize revenue you have to contract with different companies to set "floor ecpm" which is a minimum amount a company will pay you for a touch through / install. Companies bid out on ads and lets say admob wins it for 1$ if your floor is under 1$ then it will display that ad on your device if not it will fall through to the next company to display an ad. You want ads to show as often as you can the less time you have them show the less money you will receive. As far as I know there is no ad company that pays you just for showing their ad, the ones that go by impressions pay basically 1$ or less per 1000 impressions.

Sometimes its hard to explain how ads work because there are many parts to it often overlooked; however at the beginning of an app it really doesnt matter how you have ads set up, once you have a fairly large amount of installs is when you need to start fine tuning your ads.

hope this helped
 
thanks, does this mean I should look at ad-mob, Also will that allow me to place a video that people can chose to watch for more points in the app...?
