Hey everyone,
Im a web developer by trade and run one of the largest game sites on the internet. I love this community and would be great to give back to the developers etc.
Im thinking of creating a new site, purley for hosting developers latest cooks and products.
I personally hate downloading apps from rapidshare etc, especially with download limits per 24 hours etc.
So as mentioned, this new site will allow developers to sign up and have there own personal hosting space free of charge, some other features i have begun to implement are as follows.
- Free hosting for Dev files and finished products.
- Built in donation system with donations going straight to the developers.
- Revenue share for the top Developers.
- Built in Shopping cart for developers finished products if they wish to sell the product. Finished products can also be download for free if the developer chooses so.
- Custom developer homepage, with all projects listed on each developers homepage.
I aim this site at developers who cannot afford to run there own website, and want to cut costs on bandwith and also make some money from donations and revenue share from the site.
I would appreciate anybodys comments on this service aimed to developers.
The site should launch in a few weeks time.
For a long time now I have been wondering when Microsoft's Marketplace for mobile would be finished. Sadly after reading much of the material posted by developers I'm getting the idea the it might not catch on as well as Microsoft hoped. Paying $99 USD per app per year to publish a free app is insane. You would have to be a marketing genius to convince people to donate enough money to cover the cost for you. Other than the current special of 1-5 apps for $99 I don't see this as a viable way to spread freeware applications to the masses. So in turn I have been looking for a way to create a market where free apps can be published and download on a fast reliable server for FREE. I know there are already many apps that have this idea but my spin on it would be to allow apps to be sold as well. Using open source shopping carts like oscommerce would make this a possible idea. There would be no charge to the seller. The shop would be completely funded on donations. Luckily, I already have a host but I would need support from coders and developers to make this come true.
So far, I need someone to code a payment module to allow oscommerce to set each individual pay app to its respective developer's paypal account. So when you choose the app you want and continue to pay for it, the money will go directly to the developer. Like Microsoft, a simple little app or link in the program files can route people to the site so anyone can download and buy on the fly. Seems simple enough right? I have a test shop where I am trying to put up a live demo so that developers would be more inclined to publish their apps when they see my idea in action. I'm still not done with it as I also have another project that I am getting paid for. You will see the site go down and up a lot till I am comfortable with the layout and stability.
I really need some input on this. Do you think that this could actually work and would you support if it became a reality?
sure.... I will put my apps on the server if this becomes a reality
good work and I hope to see this soon!
I'm working with a site called freewarepocketpc.net right to write a client (currently for the freeware side) but also could contain the shareware/paid apps. Creating your own database AND program is not something that you can take on in your free time

Hey guys,
as we promised we continue on giving you vital tips on creating successful ads in DappWall:
Start with questions like have you ever..?, did you know..?, are you..?, fed up with..?,
Don't mislead users with descriptions just to lure to your app. You will miss out on downloads and the only thing you'll get is bad ratings given by angry and disappointed users.
What do people see the very first time related to your app? Your icon! Generally the more appealing the icon of your app is the more people will download it! So create a fancy one!
Please take a look at our best practices for sample ads.
We hope we managed to give you useful tips about creating appealing ads on DappWall and we look forward to see the results! Register on DappWall today and be among the first ones who get the 15$ free credit (applicable until May 31, 2014)!

Hello everyone, I'd like to present developers with an opportunity to make money with ease on android. I have been a developer myself for 4 years now, and after uploading thousands of apps I have decided to launch my own ad network along side with a semi-automated app deployment service.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you our eCPMs are better then everyone and what not, But what I am going to tell you what seperates my network from others is we focus on the developer. How can developers deploy more quality apps? Which in turn means more high quality traffic for advertisers and more conversions.
We've spent years developing popular apps and now they are free for any developer to use and upload to the google play store. Instead of worrying about how to monetize or how to integrate an SDK, We've done it for you, You can still use your private apps with our SDK via standard implementation methods, but we are also offering developers another route also.
We believe in always developing which is why we are looking for testers to test our platform and tell us what needs to be improved, added or taken out. We'll be offering developers $100 ad credit, along side with offering developers $100 ad credit to run campaigns for their apps. Our Payment terms are bi-weekly for developers.
If you are interested in being a beta tester or looking to run campaigns please send me an e-mail @ [email protected][dot]com or visit www[dot]fingertise[dot]com for our ad network and www[dot]appslabmarket[dot]com for our app deployment service.
Thank you,

Any geos/genres you specialize in?
and what is your intended payment policies? I am using Adsota - they pay me every 30 days no matter how much I earn.
Hey there!
I'm Kristina, an indie app developer who just enrolled in a cross promotion community called Tappx. Since it's based on cross promotion, the bigger the community becomes the better it will be for us, its users. For now, it's been working really well for me, and the popularity of my apps has slowly increased. For those who don't know how cross promotion works, it's very simple: I advertise your app in my app, and you do so in yours.
Tappx gives you credits for advertising other apps in your own app, and you can choose where you want to spend your credits (Tappix). You can choose the country you want to be advertised in and design your own promotion campaign.
Furthermore, if you don't have any banners of your own, they have some available ones that you can freely use. It won’t take more than 20 minutes to upload your app there and start making some profit out of it.
Try and register and let me know how it goes for you!
Thanks!
