The post we're discussing mentions payouts of $0.30 to $1.50 per install. Factor in InstallMonetizer's unspecified cut, and you're looking at some pretty significant rates. What sort of software do you think can afford to pay that much to get bundled? If it's a trial up-sell at typical shareware pricing, it would need on the order of 10% conversion just to break even. I can't imagine a sensible monetization path for the bundled software that doesn't involve intrusive advertising. Any ethical review process would eliminate every applicant.
- coderdude 14y agoI'm still not sold that this can't be a legitimate business that cares about not bundling crap. Maybe payouts could decrease in size to attract more reasonable software and to grow their offering. It could be used for product launches for good apps. The opportunity here just doesn't seem as narrow to me as it does to others.
