Yandex Ads
The analytics show that alternative stores are increasingly contributing to app revenue. Recognizing the significance of this trend, Yandex supports monetization across most alternative stores. Moreover, our partners can now add applications from an alternative store straight from the partner interface, set up monetization, and, as a result, increase earnings.
