Android advertisement

Question

I am starting to develop an Android app and I have seen that in other apps are things like: download this free game and you will earn 10 coins for you.

I suppose that there some company that gives that service (am I right?) and the app developers get paid for this action.

Does anybody know a company that gives this service, I mean I put some apps to download and I get paid for each download.

How is this type of advertisement called? Any companies that give this service? Thanks

update: I think I have expressed want I wanted wrong. I know about advertisement companies and how to add their code. Just want to know about a company that show offers to the client. The client completes an offer and I get paid. Then I give something for the game to the client. Just like in app payment but the client doesn't have to spend money.

Answer 1

There are mobile advertisement companies (InMobi, Google, MoPub etc...) that help you in this direction.

What I believe your question is : "Let's say you have a game and after user completes level 1 he will get an Ad saying install some xyz app and unlock next level - If user install xyz app you get money for that and user gets next level unlocked"

Few things

Ad network serves you Ad

Ad gets rendered

When user clicks ad a click is recorded in some click tracking server

When user opens xyz app that user installed via ad another response is recorded in server

I think the app logic should handle to check whether both click and response of xyz app open is present in order to allow user to go next level
