Anyway, I've been thinking of some ways to better help promote my apps as well as some apps my friends have made. Advertising generally sucks and you need a HUGE volume to get any good results (money!).
What do you think of a free advertising SDK/platform? Where your app may advertise other apps (non intrusively, only in a modal that the user taps to bring up), and other apps advertise your app. Do you think that's a good idea? Would you be willing to install software like that? If your app is free you coud def run ads on the side, but this would be more of an app discovery service.
Yeah you can check out networks like Tapgage, Playhaven, Chartboost...
Ah yes, I've seen those. I'm thinking of something much more helpful to everyone - to users, to developers. Totally free, more of a service than a business. What would you want from an SDK to make it worth integrating into your apps?
We were thinking about an SDK based network where users could "affiliate" friends for ingame points. Working Title was "Word of Mouth". Basically the more people a user reffered to the network apps the more points he gets to spend within the network.
We gave up that plan, because it is a too big project and there are similar solutions (even if hours would have been something unique, I believe).
