Android Development and Revenue Statistics - from India

Before you go sign up on StartApp own your own,one word.. If you use my referential link  StartApp  to sign up and your app makes 100 downloads , you get a $25 bonus in your account...and of course I get a bonus of $10...:) Now let me explain why I choose to include startApp in my app... Currently they have 2 modes of operation: 1. Pay Per Download : Here you will get paid an amount of $0.05 per 1 install of your app..This is pretty cool. For my app,there is like 200+ daily instals..this means i can make $10 per day....Abso-freaking-lutely FANTASTIC...... your app will play the following 3 ads for this mode of operation.. -search icon in home screen,put Bookmark in browser,change browser's home page 2. Exit Ads: Loads Ads when the app exits..This is optional and pretty awesome if you ask me...There is no lag in loading this ad unlike some other AdWall networks.. All-in-all I think StartApp is pretty awesome...Also remember to sign up using this link and get $25 bon

Received First Weekly Payment From Airpush.. Date:  12th April Received weekly payment for the past week.It was awesome !! The best thing was that the whole money transfer took only a maximum of 10 minutes..I was expecting it to reach my State Bank of India account in 2-3 days.Right after hearing from their customer care executive that the payment has been made just then i received SMS from bank about the credited sum ..There it is already credited !! All you need to do is ensure that you cross $200/week barrier...

So finally I decided to use only Airpush and Admob..Now I witness a large growth(almost exponential) in my revenue from these Ad networks... Airpush I use Airpush in my app with highest number of downloads. Admob I use Admob in almost all other apps(fair number of users)...around 8 apps...I received my first revenue of $120 from Admob on 1st March(for the month of Jan) to my State Bank of India account. Hurryy!!! Okay enough chit-chat...here it is: Report of March Admob: Impressions:       :211,449 eCPM               :$0.61 Revenue             : $132 will be paid on May 15 Airpush: Impressions :  83,084 eCPM :          $3.84(slightly unhappy about this...promised eCPM is ~10....But still it is the best in the Industry..:):):)  ) Revenue :       $320 will be paid on April 30 Total Revenue: $452 Another Awesome thing is the Weekly Payment process by Airpush.... I made $200+ for the previous week (31st March-06thApril) at Airpush...Hence according to them I sho

my revenues at different Ad Network now Admob : $174.35- Been more than two months Mobfox : $0.05 - Joined today Airpush : $26 - Almost 1 and a half month with just 1 App( it is a small app with limited users) Vserv : $0.0 - Joined today I will go into the details. A few days after adding my first free app in google play store, I started thinking about making some money through android market...So what are my options? At that time there was only one option..ie  Put free app in Play Store ->Use some Ad networks to show ads->Get paid by the Ad network (now google play allows paid app from India,but not back then) So after seeing like 20-25 installs/day from play store for my first app(which wasn't so great), I created another widget to switch between 3g and 2g networks and uploaded it.The in a week i started seeing 100s of downloads per day.Then i decided it was time to add some Advertisements in my app.. After doing some research i finally decided to
