Hey

About 2 years ago I started work on a project to solve an issue that myself and several developer friends were facing. We had created a few fairly successful apps and released them into the Android Market shortly after it opened. However, as the market grew and competition from other apps increased, our apps became harder to find and downloads began to tail off.

So I came up with an idea to create a collaborative ad network that would allow my friends and I to “share” users by advertising each other’s apps within our own apps. Basically, "if you advertise my app I'll advertise yours".

The initial idea was to hack something together over a few weekends and have it up and running as soon as possible; however, I soon realised this could help many other developers so I spent the best part of the next two years creating Aduru - which I've launched this week.

Being a collaborative ad network it relies on developers signing up and using it. At the moment only a small number of apps are part of the network so I thought I'd create a post to let the kind devs of androidforums know about Aduru . I cant promise hundreds of downloads overnight, in fact due to the nature of in-app advertising generating downloads can take time - and a great deal of impressions, but it can be done and Aduru should offer a free way of doing so.

So, if you have an app or two that could use a little free promotion I'd be very grateful if you gave Aduru a try.

Thanks!
