Tenjin公司携手Clever Ads Solutions(CAS)，为您带来独家的 移动游戏广告变现基准报告.
近年来，移动游戏通过展示应用内广告所实现的收益得到了大幅提升，尽管面对诸多挑战，广告收入依然有巨大的潜力。众多游戏发行商开始采用“混合变现”模式，应用内广告（IAA） 和 应用内购（IAP）相结合。
尽管IAA与IAP的比例仍存在争议，如50/50、70/30或80/20的分配模式，但有一个事实不容忽视，那便是 广告收益 在绝大多数移动发行商的总收入中所占的比重相当大。

在当前竞争环境激烈的移动应用领域中，如何实现利润的最大化已经成为各大开发团队与发行商共同关注的焦点与难题。对于那些选择将应用内购买（IAP）或者订阅服务作为其主要盈利模式的开发团队而言，增加应用内广告（IAA）是一项有难度的工作，因为一旦操作不当，很可能会导致付费用户大量流失。

Starting from 2021, advertisers on iOS won’t be able to calculate key cohort metrics, like ROI or LTV, for most of their ad campaigns.

One month before the release of iOS 14, there are still many speculations around what’s happening next for MMPs. How much will their role change? Are advertisers still ok paying 1-5 cents for each paid tracked install on iOS, even though it no longer has user-level granularity? Will Apple allow MMPs to validate Conversion Values though...
We’ve decided to make one of our first training materials on post- iOS 14 measurement available to everyone, training previously only available to Tenjin clients.

Since the announcement of new attribution rules on iOS 14, we saw that Mobile Measurement Partners quickly divided into two camps.

In recent weeks, our industry has entered into a vibrant discussion surrounding user-level ad revenue tracking.

The integration of AAA game mechanics, new monetization strategies, and advances in technology promise a bright future for mobile gaming in the years to come.

App store discoverability has changed drastically since launch.

By those standards, today’s app store is almost unrecognizable. With thousands of...
Wondering how to make hyper-casual games? As the new dominant force in mobile, hyper-casual games are getting a lot of attention from players and developers alike.

July 11th, 2018 marks the 10 year anniversary since mobile deep linking technology was first made available to developers with the release of iOS 2.0. Since then, it’s become something of a divisive topic. Detractors from the worlds of academia and industry have cited security concerns and an alleged lack of practical applications as deterrents to investment. On the...
Mobile game publishing is undergoing a dramatic paradigm shift, and hyper casual games are at the center of it all. Characterized by their short engagement loops, low retention, and ad-based monetization, hyper casual titles represent a stark departure from the whale-driven, IAP-centric, tentpole economies traditionally found in the social casino and build & battle genres....
As mobile innovation drives ahead, in-app advertising remains a staple of monetization. There are plenty of options available for publishers looking to implement basic solutions, but in order to realize the maximum potential ad revenue, monetization managers need to keep up with market trends. In the rapidly evolving world of mobile ad monetization, this is...
In 1906, management consultant Joseph M. Juran paid homage to Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto by coining the term “Pareto Principle” in reference to a unique relationship he observed in the business world. He found that in the vast majority of firms he analyzed, 80% of the sales came from 20% of the clients. For the...
Developers use the terms “total revenue” and “LTV” interchangeably too often. This isn’t accurate. There are crucial differences that set these terms apart. Failing to consider these differences leads companies to misinterpret app performance and make poor business decisions. In order to keep your growth initiatives on-track and cost-effective, let’s clarify the differences and look...
Fraud prevention should be a top priority for today’s mobile marketers. It’s the first line of defense against ineffective ad spending and should therefore be the first thing considered when developing your advertising strategies. Downstream optimizations like context, viewability and performance become irrelevant the second your ads aren’t being viewed by a real audience. In...
In the world of digital marketing, CVR stands for Conversion Rate or Conversion Ratio. It’s a key performance indicator for digital advertising campaigns, mobile applications, and commercial websites. It looks like this: (Total Conversions / Total Impressions) * 100 The word “conversion” refers to the completion of a final and desired outcome. To be considered...
Tenjin is proud to announce its new mobile web-based cookie attribution technology!

New iOS Features Every Developer Needs to Know Last year’s iOS update gave developers two new toys: 3D touch and third-party integration for Siri. But this year, the iPhone 8 and X are offering many more additions. Apple’s new hardware and OS features should be interesting both for immediate development and for the future —...
Creating a massive hit is every developer’s hope, but it happens far too rarely to be a goal for the majority of indie developers. Successful indies, instead, find ways to thrive without ever rising into the top ranks of the app stores. “You probably don’t know my games, and I make a pretty good living,”...
Subscriptions are more than a niche: services like Spotify and Headspace prove that users are willing to shell out money for content they regularly use. App Annie’s chief marketing officer, Al Campa, predicts that subscription-based monetization will be the future of games. Non-gaming apps are already seeing success with subscriptions: this month Tinder reached the #1 top...
You’re almost there. Your app is ready for the limelight, you’ve tested user acquisition campaigns with platforms like Facebook and Google to figure out your audience and measure conversions, and you’ve soft-launched in test markets to get a sense of install costs and initial monetization metrics. You are starting to get some traction, and you’re...
When you measure your ad campaigns, you’re going to use either ROI (Return on Investment) or ROAS (Return on Ad Spend). But these measurements aren’t fully interchangeable: each has its strategic uses. A few years ago, most companies wouldn’t have stopped to consider whether switching to a subtly different measurement might be worthwhile. But today,...
For mobile app developers, retention is hard. An average of just 7.5% of mobile users stay active 30 days after downloading an app. And while mobile game developers have spent countless hours trying to crack the retention code, there are plenty of lessons they can learn by looking at their non-gaming peers. Below, we examine four ways...
Tenjin’s latest feature, deferred deep linking for ads, enables one of the Web’s best features for mobile apps. Imagine you’re on your phone, looking for the newest Air Jordans. Which ad is more appealing? “Get shoes here” or “Get the Air Jordan 6 Retro Chameleon here.” More clicks — and more valuable clicks — will...
Big data tools are now ubiquitous and, compared to years ago, cheap. But while these tools give you the “what” — fire hydrants of data — they don’t provide the “how” of using it. A gaming app developer, for example, can set up easy, out of the box tools to collect millions of data points...
We often get asked how Tenjin compares to analytics companies such as Mixpanel, Amplitude, deltaDNA, and others. The short answer is that the best way to describe those other analytics solutions is as product-centric tools, while Tenjin can best be categorized as a growth-centric tool. What do we mean by product vs. growth analytics? Product-centric...
Update 25.11.22: Regardless of what BI tool you choose, you can always count on Growth FullStack to set up the data pipelines for it. To get a leg up in today’s ultra competitive landscape, most app developers have come to depend on some type of Business Intelligence (BI) software. Whether built by an in-house team or bought and...
If you use our attribution to track installs by media source, you might notice that there are two types of installs described there: Reported Installs and Tracked Installs. What’s the difference? Why are there differences between Reported Installs and Tracked Installs? Are the networks trying to scam you by overcharging for installs? No, probably not. In very few...
Lifetime value is tricky. The simplest — and also the most reliable — LTV calculations tell you what happened in the past: segment X made Y dollars per user. In a perfect world, that would be enough. But usually, you’ll want to know the future, and that means building a more complex model. “Complex” can mean a lot...
In my last few meetings with small developers who want to learn about paid User Acquisition, we talked about the paid marketing conversion funnel.
