I agree, this seems like a very unhelpful low-effort post. "Want to get users to use your apps? Put ads for your apps in your other apps!" is basically it. As well as putting all your apps on the same developer account (seems like that's the norm though right). It basically boils down to "Get people to use your apps and then you can get people to use another one of your apps! Simple!"

Advertising does not require tracking or analytics.

Advertising networks usually require them, but if you are the one announcing, you can choose to (not) use whatever you want.
