Top 6 iPhone Application Advertising Networks for Publishers
iPhone App
Here is a list of iPhone Advertising networks, great ways to monetize an iPhone application – aka iphone app.
Application Advertising
The following have specific iPhone application advertising solutions for those that have created iPhone applications and wish to earn revenue by placing advertising in their iPhone application. Some of the following advertising networks are exclusively iPhone applications and others have programs for iPhone applications as well as other publisher solutions.
For Revenue:
- Medialets : Insert ads into your application using easy to drop in Objects, also track your users interaction with your application, earn a CPM.
- AdMob : Offers ads for your iPhone using Javascript” code. AdMob has been around for a while and has publisher solutions for mobile phones, not just iPhone applications.
- PinchMedia : Offers ads and analytics for your iPhone application, exclusively for iPhone applications.
For Ad Swapping:
- PurpleTalk : PurpleTalk allows you to join an advertising exchange with other iPhone developers. You earn advertising views of an advertisement for your application when you advertise others. You do not make money with these ads however it is a free way to increase the adoption of your own application.
For Analytics:
- PinchMedia : Offers analytics for your iPhone application, exclusively for iPhone applications.
As iPhone’s become more popular by the day, and applications become more widely used your application may become a nice revenue generator. Many options exist.
if you have a new application you could use the PurpleTalk code to gain free exposure and hope to increase your application adoption. Once you have gained adoption and increased usage you could add the advertising code from one of the above iPhone Publisher Networks and start earning revenue from your inventory.

Brian,
Couple of corrections:
- AppLoop is out of buisiness
- Pinch Media is not an advertising network (they push you to Jumptap)
- Medialets…they say you can advertise, but I thought they were just a analytics company.
I’ve used lots of mobile ad networks to promote Pinger’s products. In my opinion: Admob, Decktrade, & Quattro are currently the leaders.
I wrote an article detailing why I think these guys are ahead of the pack:

Thanks Brook. I updated the post accordingly, I appreciate your assistance.
As a side note, I love the http://www.pinger.com service. Years ago I met Greg Woock when you all just started out as I was also at a Kleiner company.
Best,

As a small business striking out to make it in the iPhone marketplace, we’d have to say that the hardest part for technically minded people is the marketing.
The “Build it an they will come” mindset prevails, and is a lie.
You’ve helped us find a few more avenues to use in order to get our application to the public; thank you.

Glad to hear you like Pinger. We’ve launched Textfree and have some other really neat apps coming soon.

Talking about the possible iPhone application especially useful for publishers, I think it would be necessary to add to the above list an new technology called Pagestreamer. By implementing this application publishers will have the advanatgeous possibility of distributing and selling their newspapers via the iPhone App Store being in this way capable of managing subscriptions, studying download and usage statistics, monitoring information about their readers analysing their exact geographic distributions. It will be also easier to identify the most interesting stories, the advertisement performance and the usage hours.

hi, I'm new and have some questions about the best way to get your app known. Is this only talking about ad's in the app itself? Is there a way to advertise the actual app? We have apps in the store, but they aren't making a ton of money. How can we do better?
