mobile phone app adverts

[prizeamonth]

good evening all
just a quick question does anyone have any idea about how to advertise on a mobile phone app besides from creating your own app
if you do know how to go about getting your advert onto an app a rough idea of price as well please

Apple's program is called iAd, a quick google search comes up with http://developer.apple.com/iad/

Take a look at AdMob. This is Google owned and enables you to run mobile ad campaigns. We have them displaying via one of my iPhone and Android apps.

Well you can select to run adwords campaigns across desktop and mobile devices.

To advertise on a mobile app, you would need to either create the app yourself or pay someone who has an app to advertise on it. The suggestions above about using Google's AdMob or Apple's iAd is actually for advertising on the mobile network, just like Adwords, NOT on an app.

I've created my own Facebook app and am looking to move into Mobile Apps too. I designed a Coupon app for Facebook so that you can easily advertise your coupons and deals to your Facebook Fans. At the moment I am finishing up on creating a Viral Facebook App that gets LOTS of fans to your Facebook Fanpages QUICK! This will be AWESOME!

I would say to you that it can be very profitable to have your own app, that's the way I would go.

sorry im going to sound like a complete dime bar here but can you explain exactly what a viral app is and does please as i have heard them mentioned several times but know nothing more about them

The way I do it, the number one thing you want is Fans for your Facebook Page, so, I create an app to get people to become Fans of my Facebook Fanpage and the way I've set it up, it is more viral in that it gets their friends etc to become Fans of my Fanpage too.

For instance, I see that you've got a website that gives away a prize every month. You could setup a Facebook Fanpage to market it. Imagine if someone becomes a Fan of your Fanpage, their friends on Facebook will also see that they're Fans of your Fanpage and will want to check it out too. So, they check it out and also become Fans of your Fanpage and it spreads like that.

The difference with just having a Fanpage or having a viral app with a Fanpage is that a Fanpage on its own isn't as viral as one with an app.

ok that sounds straight forward enough so how does the app process work ???
does it make a pop up add appear or something like that or does it just send messages etc etc ??

Send me a PM and I can talk to you about this offline. I don't really want to give away all my secrets on a public forum.
