I’ve just released my first ad-powered app onto iTunes, and I’m blogging about my experience here: http://biketool.tumblr.com/

The jist: it sucks, so far.

I can confirm the Admob eCPM numbers others have quoted.

greystripe is paying for the higher CPM from the venture money they have raised through smoke and mirrors, do you really think their little ad sales team is able to sell out all the ad impressions which admob has been selling via their online market.

The trouble with both Admob and Greystripe is that they try to please the publishers, and look at CTR and eCPM – while the money is actually paid by Advertisers. What really counts is how effective the ad is for the guy who paid for it. CTR is not important – the action on the advertiser site is. This has to do with optimizing campaigns over time, and being fully transparent to the advertisers. Admob (any marketplace actually) and Greystripe do not provide it. They will be outpaced by Ad networks that serve better the advertisers, not the publishers!

$1-2 CPM with AdMob? Haha no. $.20 is typical. That’s what we’re seeing and that’s what everyone else is seeing. That AdMob would report such a preposterous number to you is troubling.

“Greystripe’s eCPMs come in at around $1.50 to $2.00″

Anyone buying mobile CPMs at this price deserves to lose every penny for being a moron. I’d say 23 cents is more reasonable.

We have been using different ad networks for different iPhone applications since last year and Greystripe has clearly performed the best.

Be careful comparing eCPMs. Make sure you are being quoted consistent numbers, either the net to the developer or the gross paid by the advertiser.

I can confirm the low CPM’s from AdMob. My eCPM with admob is $0.13 right now, and has been below $0.30 for months.

On the other hand, with Greystripe I’m over $4.00 eCPM, so the choice is easy really. The only reason I don’t have all of my iPhone games with Greystripe is that apple takes months to review my games. All of my Midp games use Greystripe and have been for years.

I’ve been with Greystripe for years, and they have almost always had the highest paying eCPM.

I’ve been using Greystripe for my game and my eCPM has been higher than the numbers reported here. While it certainly varies over time, my average eCPM has been over $4 this past month, and I’ve been using them since mid January – so this isn’t some short-term promotion.

And while it’s true that the ads can take over 10 seconds from start to finish, users can skip the ad at any time by touching the screen and selecting “skip” if it’s something they’re not interested in or have seen before. Admittedly, not everyone knows to do this, but I think a lot of people figure it out.

Excellent incentive to encourage switching from previous ad networks. How will they fare when Google throws its weight around though?

“Greystripe claims that their rates are higher because of their rich media ad formats that use a Flash ad format”

I thought the iPhone doesnt have Flash? Or does this mean something different?

By: AdMe

AdMe — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 16:14:53 +0000

The Greystripe ads are very different from the AdMob ads… flash ads that takes up to 10-15s to finish playing. Would expect them to pay more than $1.50-$2 per CPM since it wrecks the user experience (which AdMob ads does not do).

Totally unrelated, i’m sorry, but what theme is being used in the picture for this article? I seem to remember using it and can’t remember the name any longer.
