Yes, compared to other mobile ad networks this is bad. People aren't rocketing up the install lists by having their $10 a day budgets not being filled.
> We chose to run the ads on apps from the following categories: Photo & Video, Social Networking, Entertainment, Games, Food & Drink and Utilities.
Those are some of the very largest targets you can have. Apple was unable to provide enough impressions to meet $10 a day.
Quick clarification - at the target CPC or CPA they specified, Apple was unable to deliver enough impressions to meet $10 per day.
(Their average CPC was $.01, and their desired CPA was $.40).
Agreed that $10 a day is not enough to keep their app rocketing up the install lists. However, like any PPC or CPA advertising, iAd is a bidding system - and priority of impressions will go towards those that bid more. Your assertion would be like having a Google AdWords bid of $.01 for a high-performing keyword, and because you aren't featured on page 1 of the SERPs & only get a few impressions, concluding that Google doesn't have the audience to support your budget.
Agreed. The thing is that after they have put the price to 50 USD it incentivises indie developers to test it out, which intern results in a higher fill rate for the apps. I think this is just a start, maybe there is a lot more.
Just a question is the CPA also really bad compared to the other ad networks?
It doesn't seem bad, but the CPA doesn't really matter if they can't fill. If Apple is leaving money on the table that means they just don't have the impressions (which is believable, you don't see iAds in a lot of apps).
It could also be a targeting problem (they don't know who is most likely to download), but iOS users are pretty app happy so I would imagine this is the easiest type of ad to convert with. Apple has a huge advantage here as the control the whole ecosystem and are the only ones in the world who can optimize the App Store. Just 25 installs after 1,702 taps for a free app with good reviews seems depressingly low.
The problem comes when you start factoring electricity and so on. In my calculation the difference is just too little. Plus you have the advantage of not investing time into it.
That's true. It would start being worthwhile at around 70$ (maximum price was iirc ~48$ recently). It may be very well possible to get an return especially if you believe in litecoin (328 times increase in 2013 [1])
This is all assuming that litecoin does not go up in trading at all. If assuming litecoin goes to 40 - 60 USD which it was just Dec 2013, source http://coinmarketcap.com/xrp_180.html then the recovery time will be between 50 to 100 days.
Yes, that is true. My post was assuming the price of LTC did not change, although over the past 2 weeks it hasn't ventured very far north of of $24 or even very far south $22.
If the price goes up you would have been better off just keeping your money in litecoin to begin with. There's no way you can win with this, that's why they're selling it.
A large company can absorb a lot more risk than an individual, or really any entity smaller than itself.
In fact, that attribute - the ability to absorb risk (and failure) is the reason why a corporation is a useful structure in the first place - nobody wants to take on a billion dollars in credit personally.
True, however large corporations take large risks also. When you invest in services like this its around 1000 USD. Imagine when companies are willing to take upward of 2 billion USD risk they won't do that unless they are sure.
How is that not a fair comparison... All companies will exist where "there is an advantage" right. But if there was the severe disadvantage of being in India like political and economic instability nobody would like to be there
Let's assume I invest on this. What will happen if, after accumulating a nice amount of coins, one day the URL ceases to exist, and no one is to be found? What provisions do the Indian government have in place to help me recover my investment?
I know the workings on the countries I have some type of investment (Europe and North America). They are mature, known to work well for ages. Nothing I know about India, or Africa, or former Soviet Republics, or Middle East, or some countries un South America and Asia. I simply don't trust, because if I lose, I lose most of what I own. I have lots to lose, because what I would lose is all I have. I require confidence.
India has very strict laws about corporate fraud. If you do find that the URL ceases to exist you can put a case on the company with the LLPIN mentioned, even the name is enough. That will cause India to cease the funds and arrest all directors and put them on bail.
Its not that easy to do fraud in India and run away. India is not South Africa, Soviet Union or Middle East. The GDP of India is 1.84 trillion USD. Many companies want to invest in India, especially companies like Walmart, Starbucks and so on.
India has car assembly units of Toyota, Nissan, Renault, Honda, Maruti, Huyndai and many more each costing about 1 billion USD. That type of investment does not come if your country allows easy corporate fraud.
I wish I could return my MacBook. Really don’t like this computer. Unable to resale it also for a good price :(
