For ARPPU, that's generally counted per month, e.g. $26 per month. ARPPU numbers I've seen for most social games are under $20, although the average is almost certainly rising.

The data presented has to be divided by 1-2 (you don't actually state exactly how long the data period is but it is assumed that "less than 2 months" = >1month). A 2.1% conversion rate over, say, 1.5 months is not higher than the 1-2%/month average you also state. What would be really useful is the data presented in a monthly format...
