AdMob Mediation, Add Different Ad Networks in Your Android Apps

0 Comments

When we check your AdMob income statements, we always find that the fill rate is never reach 100%. Even after we set our AdMob ads to use keyword targeted ads and Google certified ad networks to improve fill rate, the ads are still filled at a rate between 92% to 97%. For example, I have three apps which are using AdMob ads, the fill rate in the past three month are 92.72%, 96.70% and 98.46%.

To maximize the ads fill rate, AdMob introduces AdMob Ad network mediation, which works with Adfonic, AdMob, BrightRoll, Hunt Mobile Ads, iAd, InMobi, Jumptap, Millennial Media and MobFox. We can use custom events to display ads from other ad networks which are not supported in adMob Ad Network Mediation. Not only the banner size, it also mediates interstitial formats and tablet size formats on all Android device, iPhone and iPad.

Automatic Subscription from Admob Ads

0 Comments

For android phone and android tablet users, we need to be careful for clicking advertisement in our android apps. You may be charged without any permission or confirmation after clicking some advertisement. In some worse case, it may automatically subscribes to some value add services from your local telecom company. For services providers, this kind of AdMob ads against the term of use of AdMob and auto-subscription maybe illegal depending on local law. For common users, it can be a very irritating experience. Usually we can not get our money back when we find out we are charged without permission. This is not a assumption. It just happened in India. This is the snapshot of that Ads

Latest Update: Add AdMob with Google Play Service
AdMob released AdMob sdk v6.0.1 for android a few days ago. It is compatible with my last AdMob tutorial, but I think it is better to create a new tutorial to show how to add AdMob ads to our android apps. In this tutorial, I am using:

  • Eclipse SDK Version: 3.7.2
  • ADT 18.0
  • Android SDK r18
  • AdMob v6.0.1 for Android
  • HTC Desire with 2.3.7

Latest Update: Add AdMob with Google Play Service
Last time, I released a post for “Add Google Admob in Android Application“. And I got a feedback today about this admob android tutorial. The example code and that demo application doesn’t work any more. Then I checked my Admob account and found out that app’s Status is red, which mean my app is inactive. If the app works well, the status color should be green. And some of my apps status also show green color with exclamation mark, which means my app is idle (Your site was previously active but has not sent an ad request in the previous 72 hours).

Make An Admob to Google Adsense Transition

0 Comments

Today, I get an email from Google Admob Ads developers email listing. One friend mentioned that the Google Admob for smartphone web will transition to Google Adsense. I think this is a good news for Website monetization management. But it will also cause some problems for those people who monetize their flash implemented iphone and android application. If you have tried to put Admob ads in flash based iphone or android application, you will know that the actual Admob ads is not built in the applications. Ads part is host on an empty html page which has only Admob html ads code. So to show the Admob ads in appliation, we will implement a StageWebView which can load html page to show the ads. This implementation looks quite ok from that time to now. But after the transition from Admob to Google Adsense, I doubt if this way will still work, or it will bring some risk to your monetization applications.
