That's awesome! You said it's a free app. What's your business model? Free+ads, In app purchase, freemium? And how do you market, do you use CPI/CPC networks?

Business model is ads only (well you can pay to get rid of ads but it only generates ~$40/day)

Aw man, you gotta tell us a bit more about what your app does. Do you utilize facebook connect?

What is the general purpose of the app?

Any tips on getting traffic to an app?

focus on popular niches, but not overdid ones (ex: games). Some have a lot of opportunities.

did you make that developing games for someone else, or is it revenue garnered from a game you made?

not a game, an app we made for ourselves. Our first one and we only work on this one now due to lack of time (takes a lot of time to maintain a 500k monthly users app :p)

sorry, i meant app in general. i just wasn't sure if you meant you made that developing for others or off something you made. that's awesome.

What ad networks do you use? How many daily impressions are you getting and at what eCPM?

10M/day ECPM ~$0.19
