- Ads can be a quick and easy way to earn more from your <a href=
- "{@docRoot}distribute/monetize/freemium.html">freemium</a>, <a href=
- "{@docRoot}distribute/monetize/premium.html">premium</a>, and <a href=
- "{@docRoot}distribute/monetize/subscriptions.html">subscription</a> apps.
- AdMob and the Google Mobile Ads SDK let you add advertising to your apps with
- just a few lines of code.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- The question is: which model gets the best results for your app? Google's ad
- tools are made to help you figure out what combination works best for both
- your audience and your bottom line. </p>
-
-<p>Start by linking your AdMob and Google
- Analytics accounts to get better insights and more earning power: for
- instance, AdMob can promote in-app purchases to the people who buy them most
- often, while showing income-generating ads to those less likely to buy right
- now.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- Using <a href=
- "http://www.google.com/ads/admob/monetize.html#subid=us-en-et-dac">AdMob</a>
- and the <a href="{@docRoot}google/play-services/ads.html">Google Mobile Ads
- SDK</a> included in Google Play Services, you’re able to add advertising into
- your apps, with just a few lines of code.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- When including ads in your apps you should consider:
-</p>
+<p>Ads are an effective and easy way to earn revenue from your apps. AdMob brings
+together best-in-class technology in a single ad platform for your app, so you
+can gain insights about your users, drive more in-app purchases, and maximize
+your ad revenue. You won’t need to rely on a combination of tools or use
+precious development resources to build your own solution.</p>
+
+<p>Why choose AdMob?</p>
<ul>
- <li>
- <p>
- <strong>Placement within your apps</strong> &mdash; Well-placed ads make
- it more likely that users will click through and convert. Poorly-placed
- ads lead to lower click-through rates, and even poor ratings and users
- abandoning your apps. Our <a href=
- "{@docRoot}training/monetization/ads-and-ux.html">developer training</a>
- on using ads shows some of the best ways to place ads.
- </p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>
- <strong>Ad formats</strong> &mdash; Every app offers a different type of
- experience for users, so it’s important that your ad formats match that
- experience. While banner ads may work well for a flashlight utility app,
- an immersive gaming app may benefit more from a video interstitial.
- Mismatched ad formats can make users unhappy and leave money on the
- table.
- </p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>
- <strong>Maximizing your performance</strong> &mdash; Make sure you’re
- optimizing your advertising revenue by maximizing your CPMs and fill
- rate. Ad providers often cite their very high CPMs but don't mention low
- fill rates that can severely decrease your effective CPM. Be sure to look
- at both of these figures. Consider using a <a href=
- "https://support.google.com/admob/v2/answer/3063564?hl=en&amp;ref_topic=3063091#subid=us-en-et-dac">
- mediation</a> solution if you’d like to use multiple ad providers in your
- apps. Look for solutions that offer yield management or <a href=
- "https://support.google.com/admob/v2/answer/3379794?hl=en&amp;ref_topic=3379793#subid=us-en-et-dac">
- network optimization</a> features to serve the highest paying ad for each
- impression.
- </p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>
- <strong>Exercising control options</strong> &mdash; A variety of ads may
- show up within your app. It may make sense to <a href=
- "https://support.google.com/admob/v2/answer/3150235?hl=enl#subid=us-en-et-dac">
- block</a> certain of those advertisements from appearing, depending on
- your goals and the type of experience you want to provide. Some
- developers, for instance, don’t want ads for apps in their same category
- showing to their users, while others don’t mind at all.
- </p>
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <p>
- <strong>Cross promoting your other apps</strong> &mdash; Ads can do more
- than earn revenue. Consider running <a href=
- "https://support.google.com/admob/v2/answer/3210452?hl=en#subid=us-en-et-dac">
- house ads</a> within your apps to promote other apps in your portfolio.
- When you launch a new app, this kind of promotion is a free and easy way
- to attract new users quickly.
- </p>
- </li>
+ <li> Over 650,000 apps use AdMob
+ <li> $1 billion+ paid to developers in the last 2 years
+ <li> Fast, reliable payment in local currencies
+ <li> High CPMs and the best fill rates
+ <li> Industry-leading mediation platform
</ul>
-<p>
- Don't forget that paid channels like AdWords and YouTube can help you cast a
- wider net by reaching targeted audiences outside the app ecosystem. They're a
- great way to find new users at a price that you control. <a href=

+<h2 id=tips>Tips</h2>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> Place ads wisely, they shouldn't be too intrusive but still need to be clearly
+visible to attract clickthroughs.
+ <li> Use banner, interstitial, and other ad formats appropriately.
+ <li> Make use of targeting features to match ads with your users and your app.
+ <li> Remember that ads form part of your app and must match its age rating.
+ <li> Exercise control options sensibly, don't get carried away excluding potentially
+competing ads at the expense of revenue.
