Vanash, I am sure TFSA has impeccable business members and you are very right... live and let live. Thank you for your well wishes, I wish the very best in what you do mate.
Adrian, you are spot on in regards to In-App Advertising. We also have ad-space in paid app's and these are generally contextually targeted.
Ok, now how do I do the following; I've developed a little Android app that I think people would use worldwide. Its nothing special, its just a little tool that one would use if you are a scale modeller. I can't see myself making serious money from selling the app or using it as an advertising platform, but then every bit helps. How would I benefit from allowing people to do In-App contextual advertising within my application.
This thread has been very informative. I found myself in a situation where I didn't have the faintest idea of anything that was been discussed. All these posts later and I'm left with some knowledge..again I envy all you techical/IT/Internet specialists out there...
The only benefit would come from charging for contextual (CTX) ad-space in the app, if it is for scale models, I would suggest to approach online scale model shops directly (find the biggest and most popular) in every country you plan on releasing the application and also make sure you are able to geo-target to ensure you send the SA users to a SA site and US users to a US site. With these kind of sales you would generally only be able to gain a percentage of the sale, you could push the merchant for a CPV or a CPC and have a flat rate for every customer you push to their site meaning you will earn regardless of the visitor buying merchandise or not. This of course depends how involved with the sales process you want to get but I imagine you do not want to carry the burden of "sales" as you already work hard enough in driving those app-users to the merchant sites.
Personally I would also release a part of the app (Demo) for free and offer full *paid version. A lot of app-developers tend to follow this principal.
