    I dust discovered another push network called AppBucks. AppBucks advertises via push notifications and icon ads. It works in all too familiar fashion, except this one can push out icon ads as well. This is pretty cool! I'm giving them a shot. So far I don't really have enough data to report, but a friend who referred me was receiving CPM in $2-$5 range. These guys pay out weekly too! Worth checking out.

    If anyone is interested, feel free to check them out.
    Here's my referral link. If you sign up before February is over and put up an app with their SDK by the end of March, I'll get $20 :D

    Hey Vas,

    What is you initial impress of App-Bucks? Are they good? How are the cmp's? How is the quality of the ads?

    An example of ad quality:
    "Click here for a free iphone!" = Crap. People who even see this ad already don't want an iPhone. Also its a clear sham

    "Click here for coupon codes for (insert business name)!" = Good. Its useful and will likely be clicked.

    Can you please summarize compared to Leadbolt?

    Also do they payout to PayPal? Is there a limit to PayPal payouts?

    Signed up under your link Vas, though having difficulty figuring out how to implement the code. When I install my LWP, I get a crash in the settings. Any chance of you doing a tutorial for App-Bucks?

    Ah, sure I'll post a tutorial on this.
    I can't really say too much as my sample size is pretty small. I only have 1 app that is running their SDK.
    It's pretty cool that it pushes out icons once or twice a week (configurable). The cpm rate on that is close to 4 dollars. Push notification cpm hovers around a dollar.
    To be honest, I haven't been paying attention to the ads it sends out. I'll make a note of it next time it arrives.
    They have 2 payment options: weekly and monthly.
    Though it seems that for weekly payouts, you need to have some sort of merchant account. Not sure what that is. I don't have a merchant account. Monthly payouts can be delivered through PayPal, wire, ACH. You need to accrue at least $100 before earnings can be paid out.
    I don't think I can compare it to Leadbolt yet. I've only been trying out AppBucks for a week. So far, nothing bad, but nothing overly conclusive either.

    All my livewallpaper are free, and I think the best solution is to post them for free, hardly a person is willing to spend on a background, eg:
    "hd live wallpaper stars" have 60,000 downloads in two months, that I bring some revenue (enough money: p) ... if I had put this live wallpaper to $ 1, or $ 0.30 I would not have exceeded 100 download... especially (but this is my opinion) because with version 2.1 of live wallpaper creator, we can create beautiful backgrounds but quite limited in terms of interaction, that is, objects can only take 4 directions (up, down, left, right) the background remains static, it can not be changed every few seconds ... then I think that we are still not competitive to put a background for a fee. I am sure that with the improvements made to the new live wallpaper 3.0 we will be able to put our live wallpaper for a fee.
    With this I want to thank all the staff of Live Wallpaper Creator who, through their hard work has allowed us to create beautiful backgrounds and with version 3.0 that will make us competitive to 100%.
    Thanks a lot guys!

    Sorry for my english ... XD
    If you want to give a look to my page in the play store type "droidseba" ... if you like my live wallpaper put a nice comment XD ... thank you! if you have other needs ask for more details ..

    at first I'm sorry I missed a part in the response, I strongly advise you not to put the pay live wallpaper + Leadbolt ads, I am of the opinion that once I buy something I do not want to see any advertising ... XD
