How to monetize gaming traffic?

Have android games, need advice on how to monetize them additionally (besides admob and inapp).

Also: Do some spying by installing a ton of game apps and spending time playing each of them just enough to see how they're being monetized. You'll get lots of inspiration.

My girlfriend's playing a game on her ipad, that uses a pretty ingenious (to me) monetization method. The app's name is Airforce 1945 and in order to advance through the stages (which get progressively harder real fast) you need to upgrade your plane constantly, and there are 3 ways to earn coins or whatever it takes to exchange for upgrades:

-Watch ads
-Pay in the form of in-app purchases
-Install other apps AND play each of them until you reach a certain stage to redeem for goodies

The last one in particular is impressive to me - the owner of Airforce 1945 must be getting paid per install, and not JUST for the install, because the person is incentivized to play each app until a certain point is reached, so if a game is fun chances are the person will keep playing it.

I just can't figure out which platform you'd need to go to to participate in this kind of arrangement with other app owners.

I'll try to do more digging and report back if I find out. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about and know how to implement this?

I found the platform I was talking about in the above post:

Looks really interesting! Not entirely sure how it works exactly based on their description - I guess you can find out by submitting your game.

I started to search for the network, to see if I can find it, and after good 20 minutes I scrolled down in this thread just to see that you have already done that )) Lesson learned... Amy is always one step ahead

@matuloo Thank you for your time certainly!

After extensive searching efforts in google, I reverted to looking within the game app itself, and eventually found the information.

Took some time and some luck, but what's meant to happen, always will. All's well that ends well in this case!
