This is great. Congratulations! FWIW I am a 35 year old New Yorker has 3,000,000 active users for his iPhone App (Darts). I am embarrassed by the advertisemen

Just curious, does 3M active users generate a lot of ad revenue? One of our games is just about to go over 250k and I'm thinking of putting Admob ads in it or Google Adsense (they've approved us for beta).

  Yes, it does work quite well for me. I could easily be an outlier and got lucky because of the name (literally "Darts"). Note that I am not using iAd (yet?). I started with Admob, then moved to Adwhirl and noticed that Quattro worked out the best. Now Quattro is Apple. I am kind of an ass about the ads though since they are always present, in menus and during gameplay alike. If you read any of the reviews, my users hate me and it (used to) keep me up at night. sniffle. But, it helped me bootstrap a consulting business for mostly iOS work so I have taken a pragmatic view.
