Want to try WP7 Free Games and Ads combo?

According to adDumplex, Crazy Jumpers Free managed to get 3.3k impressions on the first day, which could translate to $1.9 a day if monetised. Definitely not a sound business model ;)

Crazy Jumpers game for WP7 - download stats for the first 3 days...

... not gonna publish sales data, as there is nothing to publish, but the download stats are shown below:


The scary bit? 57 downloads was enough to get around rank 200 in paid games category. I am very tempted to perform a little experiment and publish the game completely for free (no ads) and see how the downloads go...

Anyway, working full steam ahead on my next WP7 project. Should have something to show off EOW.

Crazy Jumpers game sale data for day #1

For the first day, 32 downloads in total, the sales data look as follows:


1 purchase out of 32 downloads gives unimpressive 3.1% conversion ratio.

Windows Phone 7, Crazy Jumpers game sales, update after the first week

Submitted game to the wrong category (puzzle & trivia, WTF?!), also had to pull back the app after 10 minutes and 34 downloads (discovered, there is no sound, due to the f****d up metadata), loosing therefore two precious days of the best exposure. Nevertheless the game managed to get to the 55th position in the subcategory (Paid + Puzzle) and 210th in paid games. Not sure how this translates to downloads / purchases yet.







On top of that decided to perform advertising experiment, and spent $70 on a slot at http://www.windowsphoneapplist.com/crazy_jumpers-a16510.html. Not very impressive!
