[moved] inneractive, should I use it?

Hi,
I downloaded the sdk and wrote the code to use it.

But I don't see any clicks on the statistics page of inneractive. Maybe it is because I don't insert the right UID? Where can I find it? I use the App name (Publisher_Appname_OVI) as UID.

But my question is. Does this ad-server give enough banners? Or does you see always the same banner?

Can you say: "I am using it and you should use it too, because it is really good!" ???

Thanks, Tiger54

Edit: inneractive updated my statistics, I think the UID is correct :)

I am currently using it for my apps on ovi store, looks to working good till now. I see enough new banner. thought some time it repeats the banner for long time.

Hi Tiger54 Iam trying to show ads on symbian application. ARe u successful? If so are you able to show the ADS on ur application. Please help me too.

Re: inneractive, where Iam wrong iam unable to show ads in my symbian app.


Please check my code and find where Iam wrong

Hahaha, should I look up your entire code? :P

There is a good tutorial and good examples from inneractive. I simply copied the code to show the banner and it worked.

Do you get some error messages? Can you compile your project? Maybe you forgot or you don't wrote the right app key and token in your app. Then you don't see the banner.

Edit: I can't find any code where you place the banner in your files.

1. You have to add this headers:
#include "InnerActiveAd/InnerActiveAdModule.h"
#include "InnerActiveAd/InnerActiveAdWidget.h"

2. The I inserted the inneractive code by initialising the class:
[CODE]
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// create InnerActive Ad Module
ipAdModule = new InnerActiveAdModule(this, "NAME OF YOUR APP - ID", 180);
ipAdModule->setAdProtocolParameter(EIaProtocolParams_DistributionChannelPortal, QString("551"));
connect(ipAdModule, SIGNAL(adDataReady()), this, SLOT(onAdDataReady()));

ipAdWidget = ipAdModule->createAdBanner(parent);
ipAdWidget->setGeometry(165, 74, 310, 52);
ipAdWidget->setObjectName(QLatin1String("adCtrl"));
ipAdWidget->setFocusPolicy(Qt::NoFocus);
//ipAdWidget->hide();

int res = ipAdModule->requestAd();
Q_UNUSED(res);[/CODE]

3. write the event function (adDataReady()):
[CODE]
void Cams::onAdDataReady(void)
{
int res = ipAdModule->updateBanner(ipAdWidget);
switch (res)
{
case EIaErrors_AdDataNotReady:
QMessageBox::information(this, tr("InnerActive"), tr("Ad data not ready. Ad should be reloaded."));
break;
case EIaErrors_Processing:
QMessageBox::information(this, tr("InnerActive"), tr("Retrieving Ad data. Try again later."));
break;
case EIaErrors_Ok:
{
if(ipAdWidget->isHidden())
ipAdWidget->show();
}
break;
default:
break;
}

}[/CODE]

That's all.

And for the statistics, I have this statistics on my app:

Only 1% will click on your banner.

You get only 2% of all clicks.

So if you show the banner 100'000 times. Only 1'000 will click on the banner. You will get 20$.

Tiger54, your CTR seems to be very low. I also utilize innerActive and for example the Click Through Rate is 3.035 % for today (and long time average is even higher). So, using the same figures, I would get around 60$. Maybe you should check your ad placement strategy in order to get higher figures...

It is not easy to place a banner. To be honest, I always remove apps with banners because I don't like it.
I wrote this app, that show the banner in the middle of the screen, but you can continue to use the app. If you don't click on the banner, the banner disappear.

I know, the banner could be more aggressive, but I would like more a user more than 1ct more :D

In my statistics on my app, the result is similar with Tiger54's report. ^_^

~110,000 impression
~1.6% CTR
~$20 Revenue

The banner is always located on the UI. :P

For today: 3.625 % CTR and the ad is not shown all the time...

Hi GTO_India

I have checked your sources and found you took inneractiveAdSample code fragments on top of "hello world" S60 standard application template --- i.e. there is no much difference between inneractiveAdSample and your project. Theoretically it should work, otherwise you need to examine you files with file diff utility tool against inneractiveAdSample project. By using a file diff tool I did not find any obvious error in your code. What is the problem with your project?

what is the prolem with my project then? No InnerActive support tem member is contacting me or responding to me. I have also raised support ticket in the InnerActive website too.
