Hello!
My first app is close to ready and I'm searching for an ad network to use. The problem is that most networks that I've looked at seem to only show you a list of ads that have already appeared in your app. This lets you block low quality ads after they've appeared, but by then it's already too late. I'm very picky about the ads that are going to be in the app, and I'm hoping for a global audience.
Is there a network that lets you preview the ads that will appear in your app for different countries?
Thanks!

Hey!
As far as I'm aware there are mobile ad networks that let you run direct deals with advertisers of your choice (i.e. Chartboost) and you can be as picky as you want, on a country-level as well. The downside is that this requires high maintenance from your end and you have to regularly select one-by-one the ads that will get displayed to your users and do this for every country, in order to maximize revenues.
If you don't want to annoy your users with intrusive and low quality ads, you have other alternatives too.
I work for Avocarrot and we specialize in mobile native ads. We work closely with many app developers to create the best advertising experience for their users and have partnerships with premium ad exchanges to serve ads on a global scale that your users will find interesting.
If you have 15mins, check out http://www.avocarrot.com and integrate native ads to see how you can serve ads without annoying your users.
Cheers

I think most ad networks let you choose what ads you want to show and let you set some general filters,
atleast the ones with the interstitial ads.

While it has been rumored and feared practically since the operating system's creation, one of the nightmare scenarios for some unlucky Android users has finally become very real. Japan's second largest mobile carrier, KDDI, has gone where no carrier has dared before and has begun disguising advertisements as system notifications on their Android devices.
It seems that an app bundled with KDDI devices is the cause of the controversial ad system. The "au one market" is a secondary market application that comes with most of the smartphones on the carrier's service. This newest evil addition came in the form of an update which prompted the user with two warnings.

1. au one Market app stays resident even when you are not using the app, 2. notification space will be used to inform good deals to customers.
There are similar ad experiences from certain applications and services already in the U.S. but this is the first time we've seen this behavior from an actual mobile carrier. It's scary to think of this becoming common place so be sure to voice your opposition on this sort of guerrilla advertising to your carrier representatives before it's too late. This is also just all the more reason to keep your rootz skills as up to date as possible. Removing that carrier bloatware is becoming seemingly more and more essential these days....

since i've installed an app (don't know which one) i'm starting to something like this on my status bar... do you guys know anything about this?
This sucks... Are they even allowed to do this?
@gigeaky
Check if you have Easy Mp3 Download or DroID3Tagger. One of them should be the Ads source.
Install Airpush Detector or Addons Detector from the market to find the offending app.
Nothing root+delete offending app can't solve.
That said, still sucks, they'll probably end any warranty or whatever services they may offer if they find out. I guess you can still delete any traces of root and send it to samsung. They probably couldn't care less if you uninstalled some carrier app.
I don't mind ads at all while they aren't intrusive. I understand their purpose and their importance. But being randomly interrupted by some notification ad is the worse kind of interruption, as useless as it gets, not to mention the unsolicited data traffic and extra battery drain. I can even see them going a notch up and create random popups out of that you need to dismiss. Now, i like android the best of all mobile operative systems, but i draw a line here. If google ever enforced this at system level with no way around, i'd leave android completely.
I agree, I guess all those stuff is from carriers and not from Google so that I think it won't be difficult delete it.

Yes, I seem to be getting similar notifications, I can't for the life of me work out what app they are related to...
I've been using Leadbolt with LunarAds for over 18 months and it's by far the best combo I've come up with. Leadbolt has many ad types to choose from and generally pays out the best. If you are a high volume publisher you can even get NET terms down to NET7! And when I want to use other ad networks, LunarAds lets me plug in just about any other type of HTML ad network I can find (Tapit, Inmobi, etc..).
It' a great way of not being locked into using an SDK from on particular ad network. Not to mention they cross promote all of the traffic coming in (5%) worth so any app using LunarAds SDK gets promoted automatically in the network.
looking for admob like stuff.
admob simply too slow to show ads before user see the ads. instead they close the window.
you can try to use UnityAds service
its quite simple and easy to setup, but their support is so very slow
Maybe Mobvista does

they use CPA model, but ads is quick, also, support is always there anytime you have some question.
MobClix, 2nd in popularity after AdMob, easy to integrate, multiple ad networks, pays more than AdMob but has high payment threshold before it will pay out, reportedly pays with 3 months delay.
MobFox, targets high revenue ads in US and Europe, allows you to control the minimum ad-click price.
MoPub, new kid on the block, multiple ad networks, different ad types (banner, full screen, video ads). Currently working on support for in-app payments, not really turnkey integration.
LeadBolt, multiple ad types like interstituals and video ads, high fill rate.
Airpush, pushes ads to the notification pane, some apps that use Airpush have been temporarily banned from Android Marketbecause users regarded this as malicious app behaviour. Has opt-out system either by entering your IMEI or installing an opt-out app.
Sure, there are quite a few networks out there to test, but results will depend heavily on your genre/user geos and also the active advertisers they have on the roster.
We have a full list here, with all their data: Thalamus.co
It's used more on the UA side, and we have average CPI + install rates by genre/platform/country, but it should be able to give you a good sense of potential eCPMs and other networks you might want to add into the mix.
Hi there,
I am trying to figure out which ad network to use.
I am about to release an arcade - genre Android game, and am looking for an ad network to serve the highest cpms for interstitials and banners.
I want high fill rates, high gauranteed/cpm floor rates, and a low minimum payout since I am just starting.
Anything helps!
Thanks!
All ad networks have their ups and downs. They'll have a good campaign, then it will end, then later they'll get another, and so on. It's best to have multiple networks and mediate them. That way you get the benefit of the ups, and can mitigate the downs.
Using Enhance®, it has never been easier to integrate 3rd party services into your project or to keep them up to date. (Ads, Mediation, Analytics, Attribution, Crash Reporting and more) With little to NO coding at all, Enhance® will have you ready to roll in a matter of minutes. No more hours of coding! No more SDK integration!
We support many of the top networks and as mentioned earlier there are other 3rd party services that Enhance® supports and offers as well.
What does all of this mean? It means, SDK’s ARE DEAD!!! It means you don't have to spend all of your time implementing or updating SDK's. No more hours of coding just to find out that you don't like a network or a network doesn't work good for you.... Enhance® allows you to quickly swap out SDK's so you can check out different networks more easily! No more time spent just to bring your current SDK's up to the newest version... With Enhance®, you can be done in a few clicks of your mouse…
For more information on the fastest way to implement and update SDK's, follow the link : fgl(dot)io/xt9
Good Luck!

Airpush is dead, Amazon might be too complicated and demanding to apps, FAN seems to be OK

What is the best? That is a question that is always asked but can never really be answered. But now you CAN try out these different networks without wasting valuable time and resources.
Using Enhance, you can now integrate all of the services that providers offer without ever having to touch an SDK again. With little to NO coding at all and without touching source code, Enhance® is the easiest way to integrate 3rd party services into your project or to keep them up to date.

Gone are the days of spending hours or even days implementing and updating SDKs. How does a few clicks and a few minutes sound? Well, follow the link for more information on how to get started with Enhance® : https://goo.gl/kufiQQ
Use mediation

You will probably never get the same answer to this question, as ad networks performance depends on many factors and each app is different. Geo, segmentation, ad formats and impressions are some of the settings that can drastically change revenue.
To make sure you are getting the highest paying bid, the best you can do is mediation. This allows you to integrate several ad networks in one SDK. You won't believe the time you'll save doing this. So go ahead and try some mediation platforms until you find the one that fits you better.
I recommend Appodeal. They not only have good performance, but also a very stable SDK, great support team, upfront payment options and work with different payment platforms (including cryptocurrencies). The one thing that makes Appodeal different from other mediation platforms is that they started as an in-house solution for publishers. So they don't own a marketplace. That means mediation will stay unbiased.
X-Mediate
Hi
Using a mediation solution is the best way to make sure you always receive the best ad revenue.
With X-Mediate, you access a mediation platform fully powered by artificial intelligence to optimise your revenue at every ad request.
You only need 1 SDK to integrate to monetize your app with the best ad networks and RTB partners.
We also provide greats tools so you can monitor the ads displayed in your app, understand every decision taken by our algorithm...
Do not hesitate to contact me if you want to know more.
