Not long ago I posted an article outlining what one developer (myself) was making off iAds. I wanted to point out how profits are slowly, but steadily, rising. The past three days there were peaks of $18.23, $19.01 and $30.80 respectively, which is not much money in itself, but that equates to about 26-44 apps downloaded each day at $0.99 each which is not bad considering the competitive and overcrowded App Store.
When I made my last post about iAd profit I was impressed by $6/day profits. Now in comparison that seems like a slow day.
As an open source advocate, I believe it is helpful to others to be open about profits from my open source apps. This is merely to show what one developer is making. You may make less or much more.

Hi Nick,
This information is really helpful. One question is the data above based on iStrobe like your last iAds post?
Thanks
Philip
It’s based off iStrobe and SpaceBubble but most income is from iStrobe.

Wow, thanks for this i was wondering about weither to use iAds or not so this is very helpful.
Congratulations on your success with iAds. It looks like you got a good boost since open sourcing the app.
Have you been paying to market the app at all (buying ads etc.) also?
I haven’t been marketing it at all. Makes me wonder what it could be if I did.
