Earlier this month I decided to sponsor a sort of 2009 Holiday promotion for other iPhone developers’ apps. This idea had been kicking around in my head for some time, but now seemed like the right time to put it into action.
On December 19th I wrote a cryptic invitation on Twitter for iPhone developer who wanted an additional boost this holiday season. There were many responses, and most of those were selected to be included in the promotion. In this case, the ‘promotion’ is a number of in-app ad impressions inside my reMovem free game. This means I am replacing a percentage of AdMob and AdSense ads with custom ads for the selected iPhone apps. This is done at no cost in the spirit of goodwill and iPhone developer community cooperation. Just so you know, I’m not going broke on this: each app is getting the minimum allocation on AdWhirl, which amounts to between 5,000-15,000 impressions a day.

I received a number of responses: some from folks I know personally, some I’ve talked with on Twitter, and others I never met before. I’ve got to say it’s my pleasure to connect with this great group, and the positive feedback has been encouraging. We’re already discussing additional ways in which we can work together in the future, to help promote each others’ apps.

The ads will continue to run until New years Day, hopefully the extra exposure will help boost each app, at least a little bit. Here’s a complete list on the apps included in the promotion, in no particular order. I’m sure most readers will be familiar with a few of these apps, but a few of them are brand-spanking new, so be sure to check them all out. My thanks to all who participated.
