Mobile Adware?

I am developer of the AdwareROI desktop adware platform and I wanted to reach out to see if there is any interest in a mobile version? It could involve having an SDK that you would bundle into apps to be able to serve various ad types.

Depending on the various ad types, that would be a great idea!

Do users need to open the app daily in order to serve ads?

Most likely no, they just need to install it.

Yes I think it's a great idea. You could put the ads in widgets like Launchers do. I think it would work very well for app installs because it feels like an extension of your phone and not an ad on a landing page.

Well what functions/features would you want in it?

FYI, I have to read up on the current Google policies since its been a while.

I do know you can do a push ad in the notification tray. That's pretty cool since most people would check them.

Push ads have been done - and banned.

The only way I see this happening is with APK's - but its not that easy anymore. People have become far more savvy

Can you expand on what you mean with "push ads", is that the same as the ads in the notification tray?

When you say APK, do you mean getting the user to install from outside of the google play store?

Yes and Yes

Both Google and Apple allow push notifications but it must be 100% related to the app that sends the notification. If not Apple won't approve your app and Google will delete your app

You are probably better off making an app that gets used a LOT and then use that to serve pop-up ads. Something like a lock screen or launcher or even a browser that's ''open'' most of the time

When you say it must be related to the app, can you explain? So for example, if I have a game that I push the notification ad to, does the ad have to say its from that specific game? Is that what you mean?

sounds good but how it will going to push show ads when it is only installed
maybe it has to run in background?

nice idea. but APK comes with a very low install rate and PUSH ads get your app deinstalled quick. have a look on apps like cleanmaster or launchers. those are basically premium adware, earning money through cost per install deals. best bet could be adult. as there is no porn on the stores.

I will go ahead and answer this for you!
He means that the push notifications must be 100% related to the app that's sending them - for example, candy crush sending "you have 5 lives again!". Or dating app sending "you have a new match!". Not a Youtube - MP3 converter sending "you might have virus!" push notification.

Either way, you can always figure something out
