hi I've uploaded some games on play store about +40 and i don't make anything from it if you can help me on ASO, i'll be glad
There is a rule in this AMA - no mentoring, no guide


Hi ! According to one of your replies here:
"[Guide] How to open multiple Google Play developer accounts"

you said that google always bans your account after a few days when you build apk in your original machine , did you notice a difference after using VM for building apk or u still have the same problem ? in your opinion how google tracks your original PC ? it is from the keystore , java , or android sdk? and Why in this case google suspend the account after a few days and not immediately after uploading the apk ?
There is a difference, virtual machine works for years and Google not tracks.
It's not from keystore, it's from machine and android studio. I don't know how it works but also from unity3d, maybe they have deal with unity3d owners?
Few days because you are never banned by bot, even violation is serious. Bot only raise red flag to check by moderator, human bans you, not AI. Google said it few times on Google I/O


Well after reading your article that you provided thanks first for it, and what i understand is that bot installs not worth it, so for Facebook do you suggest going for those cheap country for getting the installs? and Those users would they help the app to rank higher on the global or it will only be ranked on the specific country that installs comes from?
It's good to use bots, it's working but Facebook is better. Sadly, tier 1 rank will not increase if you buy some cheap country.


How do you rank on the play store? I have a decent icon, wrote a description/headline that's good but I don't rank because there's 20+ apps doing the same thing as me.
I am spamming and it's mass effect. Sometimes I am buying initial installs.


do you work spam or legal?
and what is the best method to work spam on google play?
Both, spam allows you to save time but I have white hat apps too.
Build flavors in AS is the method ;)

Very appreciate if u can answer my question . Thanks .

A1 : few, I am restoring my portfolio but still have good apps like 1k-5k downloads/day
A2 : airpush and startapp, now when restoring my portfolio ill try with admob, applovin and unity3d ads (but for apps, not games)
A3 : both, usualy reskinned app is so crap, so I am preparing almost whole source code from scratch. Fresh source code is also better
A4 : I've answered it that I am not counting average, it's usualy between $1-$50/app
total in 7 years is arround $900 000


1. Do you sell apps/ have in-app purchases or you just monetize with ads?
2. Do you use any external services to promote your apps? If yes... Which services
3. I know Java, what's the quickest way to start making apps?
Ad 1 . Only ads, IAP should be better but I have no time for it and you cannot spam with multiple accounts
Ad 2. yes, facebook and keyapp
ad 3. install android studio and start making projects, first make calculator, make few projects and start reskining some apps from github/codecanyon (free or cheap)

Vinku I think you missed my pm's by mistake regarding my questions :)
ill give you this want you want, check PM in 10 minutes
 
Best place to outsource the work if you are just an "idea" guy. If the programming isn't very basic and if hiring a professional would be cheaper. Best place for that?

Monetization question: do you find it better money to charge for an in app purchase... or free download with CPA offers?
 
Q1. Please arrange these things from most to least matters in app ranking. ( on which to focus the most)

no. of app installs
ratings
ASO (title and description)
user retention rate
 
What type of encrypt do you use to classes and strings? .Dex? .so? Do you ofuscate the code? Are you using cordova?

Freelancer.com but be careful the quality of the cheapest guys are just shit. Bad experience but some job was made incredible fast.
IAP is best, then CPM ads, CPA is the last, people don't want to take an action on mobile devices, it's not web


How do you handle giving review to your apps?
Friends and Android x86, buying reviews is fail for last year. Google will delete all, it have to be aged account, residential IP and review rate should be low. Review selling companies doesn't care and your reviews will be deleted few days after payment and delivery. They are happy, you are in shit.


What type of encrypt do you use to classes and strings? .Dex? .so? Do you ofuscate the code? Are you using cordova?
I don't use obfuscation, Proguard is product easy to read by Google Bot, I am not fighting pirates but Google. For encryption I am using aes, they are free libraries on github. Base64 is easy to use but like with proguard, Google Bot is reading it very easy like normal text.


How to get start with App installs? I have app published and now tell me how I can get installs ?
It's very complex: ASO, optimization in APK, initial installs, there is no clean and fast answer on this question.
 
Thanks for this AMA thread @vinku My question is apart from facebook, what other cheap(but real) app installs services will you recommend have an app reskinned some months back but its having around 3k installs, please recommend best sources to get cheap but real app installs.
 
Thanks Vinku, looking to buy your course one day if I have the money.

Some questions in my mind.
1) Why Google prohibits the creation of multiple Google Play Developers Accounts?
2) What's the benefit of having many Google Play Developers Accounts? since one account can fit multiple apps in it
3) What kind of apps can earn more? Games? Tools? Utilities etc?
4) How does cyrptomining in apps works?
 
How do you do ASO optimizing in apk
This question is not detailed, sorry

Ad 1 - it's allowed but when you got banned before, they will ban all your new accounts
Ad 2 - more apps and less risk to get banned all of them
Ad 3 - apps, games are seasonal, if you are not big brand, most of games dies very fast after getting for example 500k installs, then also active installs are going down
example, I have a game with 500k installs...and active are <10k now
Ad 4 - like on websites, you are opening coinhive inside webview or creating interface between coinhive-java (safer), not using it now but works
 
Hi , thanks for this thread , much appreciate it :)
my question :
as we know if u work with the same android studio on multi apps but for many accounts , the app will get a suspend cuz of that , so how do u avoid this ? because in my case i have to work on another android studio in another pc :(
thanks in advance.
 
Iron source should be giant with volumes. Have you pushed traffic with them? What cpi they charge?
 
Hey Vinku, or rather cześć Vinku ;)
Im wondering what was your way to skills you have now, did you finish some IT studies? You learned everything by yourself? This would be valuable info for newbies who would like to walk same way and learn Java programming.
 
What exactly makes your app rank in Google Search engine, is there any twist to that?
 
Regarding niche, what to most search over Google play. Or there's a website where we can see most search item on playstore.

Appreciate, thanks

thanks in advance.

1. Close your android studio
2. Remove from project folders:
.gradle
.build
.idea
3. ZIP your project, move to vm or another PC
4. Open in studio without internet
5. Change package name
6. Turn on internet
7. You are safe


Iron source should be giant with volumes. Have you pushed traffic with them? What cpi they charge?
depends, they have some CPI for $0,10, some for $0,50 and more depends GEO, supersonic was great with $0,05 cpi but now it's the part of ironsource

Seriously, I don't know. For searching niche use AppAnnie, Appbrain and Sensortower, for now Appannie is free enough to do it, appbrain and sensortower are good but paid
