I think most of us have got paid by now right?

Were you paid the amount for June (earned in March)? I haven't.

Hmm I've been thinking the same thing and should get on it! Actually It's more an issue of setting it up, I have about 10 apps using mobclix, so I have to spend about 3 days setting up new ad networks, plus rebuilding the apps and submitting them (the time could be used developing new apps). Plus they only make $30 a day. So answer your question it comes to down to: time and priorities (and laziness) ;)

But still 30$/day = 900$/month that you could actually be receiving :p!! I'm sure a lot of people would love to see that extra money per month :) But I understand it's a pain to have to do change stuff that just works, although if you aren't getting paid, is it really working :O

Most mediations work almost exactly the same so it's just changing out the SDK and doing a couple tweaks here and there. Really wouldn't take too long even for 10 apps...don't get me wrong though, I understand laziness!

yeah right, not yet for June's "invoice". I don't even see the "invoice" in the invoice section of their site.

Anyone have experience with Mobfox? It looks like they're a single network (as opposed to a mediation service like Mobclix) but I could be wrong...

They boast being the highest paying ad network out there but then again, they ALL pretty much claim that.

Anyone?

Even if Mobclix comes back and is "working" fully again. You'll still have the same features more or less using something like admob mediation. The only difference is you'll be receiving money from a few sources instead of just mobclix (or apparently no one ;) ) and you have to set up which networks get first,second,third,etc. ads. Mobclix would choose the best one right?
As long as you check your stats daily (let's not lie, we all do :p) it's super easy to change the order anytime.

True. Its better to know when your money is coming as well

Hey everyone, after going back and forth with Nexage I've decided to look at Mobfox as the alternative solution to Mobclix...Their SDK is nice and light, their payouts seem solid (apparently the best in the market), and they've never been late on payments from what I've heard.

A few sources on them:

http://mobfox.com/publisher-networkcomparison

http://www.smallte.ch/blog-read_it_10003.html

(Note the low fill rate for the Mobfox comparison in the smallte.ch link could be due to the fact they didn't have much demand in the US at the time, or the writer had the eCPMControl set much too high..)

I just got off the phone with Mobfox and they seem promising... Most of my traffic is in the US, which is exactly where they need more publishers so if you have US traffic would recommend you check them out - historically they've been more known for their EU traffic but it seems they've evened out their portfolio...

Cheers,

Does Mobfox have a mediation? If not I would suggest you use the AdMob mediation (since you can add MobFox as a network in it).

I've added Mobfox in my AdMob mediation (waiting for it to be approved...hopefully soon) and i'll be checking which networks I get the best results from. Most likely within the next week i'll have results. My app gets between 150-200K impressions/day.

I wouldn't really believe too much of what they tell you on the phone...I mean what are they going to say: "We have the second lowest eCPM, please join us!" of course they all say they have the best eCPM/ads/fillrate.

I recently added ads on one of my Android apps using AdMob mediation with AdMob/MobFox/Millennial Media as networks. Doesn't get that many impressions but here are the results up to now for MobFox

Impressions - 5,027
Clicks - 28
eCPM - $0.15

Not really impressed with them on Android, Millennial and AdMob both have eCPM around 0.5$ for the same app

Hey esoteric, sorry this is out of topic, but I'd like to know have u successfully uploaded
any app with Admob mediation to iTC yet?

I tried to implement the Admob Mediation, got it to work on the simulator and device fine.
However I am hit with non resolvable "SSL connection error" when I try to upload the binary. My internet
is fine - if I choose any other app to upload (without Admob mediation), it uploads ok,
but when i return back to the app with Admob mediation, same error comes up again.
Do you experience this?

esoteric · August 2012

@rocotilos I didn't have any problems uploading my app to iTC after adding the AdMob Mediation and i'm not really sure why you are. Sorry I can't be of any help.

Have you tried posting about this on the Google Groups for AdMob? The guys that work with AdMob will usually reply to you there and try to help you out. It's worth giving it a shot!

ilmman · August 2012

Hmm I was considering jumping to mobclix from admob then I see this thread :P.. I make approx $100 a day on ads which starts with iAds and falls back to Admob for backup for some apps.. recommend to go with mobclix still ?

I was with them before as i updated my app for it, but then i saw from the results that admob still made more overall so i jumped back. Maybe I didnt wait long enough for it to propagate.

Or would u guys rather make less money on iads/admob and have the security of being paid everytime?

Since ads is my main source of income as well I rather get paid for sure each month with my 0.8$eCPM with iAd/AdMob then use Mobclix and maybe not get paid for months?

What's so good about Mobclix..are the average eCPM you see that much higher than 0.8$ for a normal 320x50 banner ad? I noticed they do have a lot more different ad networks to choose from than AdMob mediation but i'm assuming most networks pay very similar.

ilmman · August 2012

how are u getting $0.8 eCPM with admob.. im getting around 0.30-0,35 :S

esoteric · August 2012

I have the refresh rate set to 60 seconds and I have some user activity near the ads (accidental clicks!)

Ziygo · August 2012

$0.8 eCPM? I couldn't imagine. I averaged $4-5 eCPM for full screens and $2-3 for 320x50 banners before with Mobclix. Just a shame we had to leave them.

I had my lawyer contact Mobclix and had hoped he could give them a push but it had little success, they just gave the runaround and stated that payment was expedited for me and that it will be sent out "by next week"

undimon · August 2012

Hi, has anyone got the payment?

I did. got paid early this month.

rocotilos · August 2012

From my apps, I'm seeing a total of slight increase in total ad revenue only when switching to mobclix.

For eg (numbers aren't real), normally i make about 100 bucks per month.
then after switching to mobclix, i made about 110 bucks per month.
Something like that. So, definitely it is more, but the delay and inconsistency
in payment..... meh...

Maczamp · August 2012

@sparkso: were you paid for Feb or Mar earnings?

elbins · August 2012

Lot of devs still waiting for May earnings (and June and July), like me.

dreamtank · August 2012

@elbins are you on net-30 or net-15? If so, I think May revenue (June payout) is slated to go out this upcoming week with all the rest of the June payouts..

From what I've heard all net-90 (feb revenue, may payout) payments have been completed... If you're on net-90 and still haven't gotten payment you should def flag it with them.

Howdy, Stranger!
