[Sarah Angel]

Hi,
I am thinking to advertise or promote my app through iAds.
Is there any one who has used iAds to promote their apps?

If yes can you please share your experience. Were the results good and you got increase in downloads? or it was just a waste of money?

My understanding from contacting them is that you can expect a high percentage of downloads, but it's going to cost a minimum of $0.25 per download. You will also need about a $5,000-$10,000 initial investment. Finally, it really only works if you are promoting a free app, as you can imagine that the people looking at the ads are hence using a free app themselves and are unlikely to pay for an app through an ad.

The good news is that it isn't based on number of impressions. So if they see your iAd impression and then click on it, that is what counts against your total. You will of course get people that won't download after doing that, or tapped it by accident and don't care. But of the 20,000 taps you get for 5K, you can expect a high number of downloads.

For that price for a free app ... you might be better off going to FAAD. Unless you know that your free app can rake in enough to recoup the 5K from only 18,000 new users.

Thanks for providing great help Lars . Well have you ever tried the service like flurryappcirle, tapjoy or w3i for Cost Per Install campaign? What can be the expected results in terms of downloads with Cost Per Install service with flurryappcircle if the app is of $0.99?

I haven't tried those services - I thought something came along were apple was looking down on that and I just avoided them all together. Sorry, not much help.

I do have the same question for my app. It costs $0.99 and unable to get the market.
Previously free version had got adequate nos of downloads(234 in one month). But when i removed that one paid version could bring the same business for it. So can you list down the urls of some app promoting websites to the maximum exposure to my app.
Or if your app cost $0.99 perhaps i can download it and give a noce review to it. But you have to do the same for mine. Just a trade of apps.

You can see my app here :
