AdDuplex is a cross-promotion network specifically targeted at Windows 8 and Windows Phone apps and games. You add our AdControl to your application and start serving ads for other apps. They serve ads for your app in return. The ratio is 8:10. This means for each 10 ads displayed in your app 8 of your ads will be displayed in other apps. The remaining 2 ads will be sold to support the service. The advantage of using adduplex is that it has a 100% fill rate. So it is often used as a secondary option to fill ad space if the primary ad network fails to deliver an ad.
You may consider using these as your primary ad networks
- Google AdMob for Windows Phone 8 which pays you per click on its ad
- Microsoft pubcenter which mostly pays you per 1000 impressions
- Vserv, popular in India with high fill rates and ecpm
