bgr.com said:The Next Web points us to some new research from web browser Opera that shows us why Microsoft has had trouble attracting more developers to Windows Phone despite the platform?s impressive recent gains in market share. According to Opera?s mobile ad network that delivers 60 billion monthly page impressions to 425 million users, Windows Phone accounted for an astonishingly low 0.35% of all mobile ad revenues generated in the fourth quarter of 2013.
How weak is this showing? Consider that Windows Phone generated even less revenue than BlackBerry, which accounted for 1.35% of all mobile ad revenue, and the now-dead Symbian, which accounted for 0.84% of all mobile ad revenue. It looks like Microsoft?s biggest challenge for Windows Phone after growing its user base will be figuring out better ways to monetize its mobile platform.
Microsoft Windows Phone ad revenue less than BlackBerry, Symbian | BGR
One problem... Opera isn't available for Windows Phone.
Are these people paid shills for iOS? It's painfully obvious the author has never held a Windows Phone in his hands. I guess you can just publish any lie about Windows Phone and it is accepted as fact.
