Mediation platform? I would also like to recommend Mobclix.

They've really figured things out. Support and Payments are A+. SDK I give them A-.

To the guy who said having all payments come through Mobclix is a "con", I would like to strongly disagree. It makes life much simpler. There is nothing wrong with establishing strong business relationships when goals are aligned. Don't you feel unsafe making all your investments on planet Earth? I would probably put some equity in Saturn just in case.

p.s. Adam hopefully we'll convince you guys to put one of our Apps on your Christmas card next year

Ha Ha. Alright I guess this thread has turned into suck up to the MobClix rep. Best of luck to you.

Hah. I guess it does look that way?

People who are familiar with my posts know that I'm blunt, and if I don't like someone's product or service, I'll rip them a new one (figuratively). So there is truth to the "sucking up".

Another problem with AdWhirl is that they have no support for developers outside the US...

That's actually true -- I've suffered some of those blunt 'lashings' from PlutoPrime in the past. But they were fair and deserved. Bottom line is we listen to developers and take their feedback into consideration. We had payment issues, we've fixed them and are working everyday to make the product better.

We do interstitial ads, we have multiple IAB-standard ad units and are up to 40 networks running on the exchange. I'd be happy to talk anyone through the particulars: as always: adam(at)mobclix(dot)com.

Happy New Year

i know that adiquity allows developers to fine tune the networks to be used in a particular country…i have not tried them yet may be you can give it a try
fine tuning according to countries is done on the platform's side so the developer doesn't have to deal with that. The platform automatically chooses from which networks to draw advertisements from according to location and that's how good CTR is generated.

We do the tuning automatically.

As far as CTR, we find placement and technical integration are far better methods for maximizing performance:

Edit: "better" isn't the right term. Let's say "more important"

I'd like to throw another article about improving CTR to the party

And this one is a bit more elaborate...

For how long have you been working with AdMob? I keep hearing this rumor that performance with AdMob drops significantly after a few months.

Has your CTR been affected?

Seasonally, I see this a lot with most networks:

Admob ecpm tanks cyclically. We don't use them much anymore but in one of our apps today it hit lowest ecpm in 2012 at 8 pennies, so you're not the only one.
