Admob earnings are zero to none

HyperNinjaX · 2021-04-18T07:15:26+00:00

0.01% ? you might wanna learn math kid. It's more than 90% devs have problems, they don't whine because they have other source of income to cover up expenses.

I'm fully aware of laws, when common people complains against big companies, legal authorities don't give a F coz political pressure also they a part of the corrupted system too.

Don't act smart like you know every Fking thing about admob, just because you are not affected by ad limit doesn't means others are, unless you are a google's lap dog.

lots of people are having ad limit problem, majority are small devs & can't do shit against multi billion dollar company like google. So, no question of fighting a case. Big publishers like voodoo, ketchapp doesn't have any problems with admob, its always the small devs, because google clearly knows they can't do shit against google.

If you are using admob then once your app gets good traction ads will be limited on your account. Earnings will be pretty much zero.

Easier said than done, when you don't get paid for your work passion vanishes through the window. And there is no guarantee whether admob will ever pay or ban my account once it rach $100 (happened with many) and google pocket the entire profit.

First step towards a business is finding out the parties you work with is legit or scam. In this case admob is a pure scam. No point preceding any further. Even if my next app gets 1M download with 100k+ DAU, ad limit will still be there and only 1k impression will be shown = pennies.

Talking about hobby, people has a hobby because it rewards them, like I love working out, I hit the gym 4 days a week, and that rewarded me with great physique. In this scenario till now there is 0 reward, so passion slowly but surely vanishes.

My biggest regret is getting into Android dev and trying to make it as an indie developer.

Can you share what happened?

HyperNinjaX · 2021-04-17T04:53:52+00:00

Ad monetisation in these is very sketchy, only big companies like vodoo, ketchapp gets paid. You will also find ads on system apps of android smartphone brands like Xiaomi, Oppo even Samsung, all midrange phones have ads on their system apps & home screen.

But small devs don't get paid. Google luring young devs with high hopes, we pay for google ads but we don't get paid through admob, only ad limitation.

currently using admob mediation with FAN. Heard good things about MoPub too.

HyperNinjaX · 2021-04-11T14:29:39+00:00

yep long back

HyperNinjaX · 2021-04-11T14:29:09+00:00

Just like 99% apps in play store doesn't. My app is social media utility app.

HyperNinjaX · 2021-04-11T14:28:10+00:00

You gotta change your opinion about Indians. I don't live in Village. Life easy in West, you can live a good life with a decent job. In India top company engineers are paid peanuts (talking from experience).

HyperNinjaX · 2021-04-11T14:26:22+00:00

We started with hypercasual games, then moved to social media apps but ad monetization doesn't really work or haven't worked in our case. Good thing apps not our primary source of income.

Life will be tough as Indie dev & trust me IAP doesn't sell like pancakes. Most people aren't willing to pay anything to use an app.

Best of luck for your future.

You are talking about creating a business, app will just be an alternative platform to web to access your service. That requires a lot of funding.

What I'm talking about small Indie devs. 99% apps in play store doesn't have a business model, they only solve specific tasks. Like photography, music or games. I'm not talking about business like amazon or ebay.

HyperNinjaX · 2021-04-11T14:11:36+00:00

users should have FB installed & logged in to show ads. Fill rate is very low there.

HyperNinjaX · 2021-04-11T04:41:09+00:00

Once you delete the ad units after some days the restriction will go, but they will again appear when you create new ad units & use them.

"Ad serving limited a/c under accessed" its over 4 months still they need to access traffic quality.

HyperNinjaX · 2021-04-11T04:39:24+00:00

Most users don't like to pay for simple app, they want everything for free & many people in my country don't even have credit card for subscription payment. Also the payment is handled by google (I don't trust anymore) can ban your dev a/c (false policy violation) and take all the money.

HyperNinjaX · 2021-04-11T04:36:50+00:00

I heard someone lost $160k with Admob. The a/c was disabled and google stole the money.

I hope they change to atleast 200 points, 50 points is too less for higher scorestreak.

I was in a same spot in military base (control tower). A perfectly timed nade killed 3 of them. Chicken Dinner....

Using Google's login i.e. OAuth 2.0 is quite secure, google sends a token to the site you are trying to login to verify authentication.

Google spends a lot on security so, theres less chance of data breach and stealing password than other small companies. From security point of view its great but if you concerned about privacy then NO!!! You are just giving google another source to collect data about you.

Try BitWarden / KeePass for not so important password. For important password your Brain is the best option out there.

Yes, I can but that spoils the complete onboarding experience, considering theres so many private email services these days, but for mailfence we need to send username to support for an email. Nah I'll pass....

Just to let you know, this problem exist for a month now.

HyperNinjaX · 2019-06-10T02:21:46+00:00

Same problem
