Monetization for APK Sites

If you run a site where people download APK files, you place the ad code on the site itself.

Monetize an APK site

Four ad formats are available, and MultiTag rotates them for you automatically. Popunder ads carry most of the volume on download pages, and push notification ads keep bringing users back after they leave. All the formats are available for APK owners and sites with a dedicated APK download page (outside Google Play Store). Traffic is accepted from 195+ countries, with occupancy close to 100%.

FAQ

Yes, if they meet Monetag rules. Monetag accepts download and entertainment portals, but its terms ban software piracy, warez, torrents, P2P, and anything infringing intellectual property. Original, licensed or freely redistributable APKs are fine; cracked and modded paid apps are not. Add the site, verify ownership, create zones.

Monetag positions four formats for APK sites: Vignette Banner, Banner, In-Page Push and Popunder. Vignette Banner has one condition: your site needs a dedicated download page for the APK file.

A Vignette Banner is a small native block in the center of the page over a grey overlay, with an icon, title, short description, Close and a Continue CTA. It shows only while the visitor is on the page, so nothing is delivered after they leave. You paste the zone code between the <head> and </head> tags once. The format is available for APK sites that have a dedicated download page, which is also the natural spot for it: the visitor is already committed to an action.

The publisher ran entertainment and APK distribution sites plus his own apps, 5+ million users total, monetized with Direct Link on the web and Push Notifications in the apps. Push campaigns across all his projects added up to $300 per day of extra income. Two of the apps were broken out in detail: one delivered 930,000 to 954,000 daily impressions at $105 to $132 per day, another 274,000 to 280,000 impressions at $28 to $41. In-app CPM ran $0.20 to $0.30 against ~$0.05 on the websites.
