Applixir is a third-party video advertising platform that helps Facebook developers earn more money via rewarded video ads. Here are things that Applixir provide game developers get the most out of Reward video ads.
- Pleasant User Ad Viewing Experience
Game developers can customize the look and feel of the media player to match the game’s theme. We provide instant feedback to users one how far they have watched, what reward they collected and more. It makes the whole Ad viewing experience an awesome one.
There are several things to consider when using rewarded video ads. The two most important ones are Ad timing and Callback (client/server based). A non-paying user can choose to watch the video in exchange for virtual rewards such as coins and level ups. It can also be placed to receive energy packs or game boosts. AppLixir provides the most secure callback feature that combines both client and server-to-server based callbacks.
We have an average 85% video Ad fill-rate! To keep the user-experience consistent across all Geos, we also use fallback Ads. Game developers can use this opportunity to advertise their other games to their player base.
With the Reward Ad Video options through Applixir, game developers will have bigger chances of generating additional revenue. Not everyone can have Zynga’s level of monetization, but can make decent revenue using AppLixir Video Ads.
