    Hey there, I released a game some time ago, and only just recently noticed the following oddity. flappyFetusRevenue.png

    As seen above, the ads generated a small amount of income on one day, December 16th 2016. Otherwise, every other day is blank. Other than two other days early in 2017 (which generated $0.01 for that day each), that's the only day that any revenue is listed, and since the amount shown is the total revenue I've made on the project since it's release I was wondering if this behaviour was to be expected, or if there was something else weird going on.

    I've tested the app fairly regularly since release, and ads have never had issues playing since the game first had them implemented.

    Here's a link to the page's Google Play page: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.FetalPosition.FlappyFetus&hl=en

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi,

    Thanks for reaching out to us!

    Looking at your game, it looks like you have fairly low traffic in terms of impressions. Do you have any data on how many people are playing your game per day (DAU)?

    If your number of users seems out of proportion with the number of impressions you're seeing, I recommend looking at our Guide to Video Ads to learn more about how successful games use ads.

    Hope this helps!

    There are definitely an appropriate amount of impressions for how many players there are, I just thought it was strange that all the revenue had been in one day!

    Thanks very much for taking the time to respond, I'll check out the guide you've posted as well.
