AdMob is a mobile advertising platform that allows you to monetize your android app by displaying ads from Google ad network. It is very easy to set up and use AdMob in your android app. Let’s get started!
What is AdMob?
AdMob is a mobile advertising platform that allows you to monetize your android app by displaying ads from Google ad network. It is very easy to set up and use AdMob in your android app. You can display banner, interstitial, or video ads from Google ad network to earn revenue from your app.
Why use AdMob?
There are many reasons why you should use AdMob in your android app. AdMob is a reliable and trusted source of revenue for many developers. It is easy to set up and use. You can start earning money from your app almost immediately after setting up AdMob. Moreover, AdMob provides high fill rates and eCPMs (effective cost per thousand impressions) which means you can earn more money from your app with Admob than with other ad networks.
How does Admob work?
When a user clicks on an ad in your app, you will earn money from the advertiser. The amount of money you earn depends on the CPC (cost per click) of the advertiser. CPC varies depending on the type of product or service being advertised and the country where the ad is being displayed. For example, advertisers in US tend to have higher CPC than those in other countries.
How to set up Admob?
Setting up Admob is very easy and only takes a few minutes. First, sign up for an Admob account and create a new ad unit. Choose either banner or interstitial ad format. Banner ads are small rectangular ads that are displayed at the top or bottom of the screen while interstitial ads are full-screen ads that are displayed at natural transition points in your app such as between levels in a game or after completing an action such as making a purchase.
Next, generate an ad unit ID for your new ad unit which uniquely identifies it within your account. You will need this ID when integrating Admob into your app code. Finally, select one or more ad sizes for your banner or interstitial ads .Admob will automatically resize your ads to fit any screen size so you don’t need worry about creating different sized ads for different devices. That’s it! You have successfully set up Admob account and created an ad unit ready to display ads in your android app.
