I've just started app development and I have a couple apps out. Not making much, maybe $10/day from in app purchases.
Anyone been in this game? It's very different in terms of gray and blackhat marketing. Its a closed system so you can't fuck around too much, otherwise your whole developer license goes bye bye (Apple has your tax info, bank info, etc. that you hand over to sign up). I don't think driving external traffic is very effective, you need to be highly visible and ranked within the app store to get big download numbers. So some people are using bots to boost DL numbers, but Apple is aware of it and its probably not worth being completely banished for temporary bucks.
I'm also looking at cross promotion services, for monetization and driving installs. Anyone know who the best fill rates and payouts are for ads? Any of your mobile app experiences are appreciated. Thanks
