New iSites Ad Engine Increases App Monetization Options

Good news!

Starting today, iSites will be offering a lot of new ways to monetize your app! This morning we announced the launch of iSites Ad Engine, which gives Pro users complete control of their app monetization. The new Ad Engine integrates with AdMob, Adwhirl, Mobclix, Vdopia, and Doubleclick.

According to David Kaplan at paidcontent.org, research indicates “U.S. mobile ad revenues will grow from $491 million last year to $2.9 billion in 2014… thanks to rising mobile search ads, display on both apps and wap sites and text messaging.”

What do you think of these figures – how important is mobile advertising to you and your mobile strategy? Many iSites clients are already taking advantage of ad integration, but what additional suggestions do you have for monetizing apps? We’d like to hear your money-making strategies for mobile in the comments. Oh, and while your at it,  let us know what you think about the new iSites Ad Engine!
