Yes for me too, very low instals
Let me share 24h data regarding amonetize installs/shaving :
Total executions in the last 24h : 286
Total callbacks to image.jpg (installer first page) : 101
Total callbacks to ourapp.exe : 62
Total conversions : 41
We track every execution. How ? We have our own installer which downloads amonetize exe from our servers. The code executes automatically upon download, no way to stop it.
When amonetize installer runs it calls back to the image.jpg you supplied in the control panel. The difference between executions and callbacks can only be explained by antivirus software.
Can't explain the difference between callbacks to img and callbacks to ourapp.exe. 39 people did not click on install button ? Very unlikely.
Callback to ourapp.exe should = conversion. No IFs there..
What's funny is our average rate per US install was only $0.8 two days ago. We sent an email to our AM , asking for a fixed rate of $1.5 and he gave it to us right away. No wonder, they shave like crazy..
We're done with amonetize. I remember 2 years ago when we first tested them (we were sending traffic to VertiTechnology back then), we made 10x less with amonetize than with Verti ($500/day Verti vs $50/day Amonetize). I thought they've changed their ways but no, they are worse..
