I want to explain a lot more about this but i am limited alot because of my account age on BHW....

I will try:
That time i got to say it was a little blackhat .

I used to create wallpaper applications with wallpapers from different sport-teams and artists.

And i'm not talking about a wallpaper application for a sportsteam.. I am talking about 150+ applications.

All with Adsense ads for mobile. Placed above and under the Next and Prev button off the wallpapers..
So i kinda did not really fake the clicks on my ads but people with a little bigger fingers would hit it..

Results: Got banned for Copyright problems and i HATE Warner Bros Studio's since then..
They were the one that got me banned because of using photo's of some artists that got their lable.

Would not work anymore. Even cooler, i got alot of rip-offs after that took my idea and also tried it.

Good thing is, that was my best month in my life. Bad thing is, don't gamble and waste money like it's nothing...

Could have build a great company back then, am broke as f.. now.

And about sales, you better use Codecanyon instead of Chupamobile like me.

Chupamobile has a: Let's keep the price high policy.

Because of that you have to set minimum price to their likings.

Like i had to list one for $99 because they thought $50 would be to low..

I downloaded and played your game .
First of all its very cool & I liked playing it
But secondly, isn't it against the TOS of adsense to put some kind of popup after you lose the game ? if its not .. I'm on my way to App production lol

I'm worried about being banned by goodle Admob, but my stats are real, I place an ad just after you lose every 3 looses. My stats are not because of scam, is because they click and I dont wanna be banned!

if they do not allow popups ads then there is a big risk of being banned ..

Hey, is your CTR normal? I think that you shouldn't show a banner while the user is playing. Isn't that agains Admob TOS?

And just because I'm curious... what gives you more money, the banner or the interstitial? I would bet on the interstitial.

Amazing. I also do some good applications in Java. But this is a good reward at all. Keep up the great work!

I checked out some of the reviews on the Play Store and your users seem to be really frustrated with the amount of ads.

My ctr is normal around 4.5%. So the risk of being banned is low, but I dont know, I dont want problesm with google, the ads appear when you finish the game, and I show one every 3 games you play.

Any tips on advertising? I've made around 4 apps using unity and also eclipse, all downloads are ranging from 50-100...and that's really pain in the ass as the time taken to develop the apps weren't short

Sometimes you need luck, as the luck I have with my last app, and sometimes you only need to pay someone to rank your app, thats the best idea. But I would only pay for an app that has potential to make money and that it is well designed and playable. I don't know, mainly is luck.
