How to setup Admob Banners

BigDave

I am setting it up for my top apps right now and in-between uploading(waiting) I take the time to write down how to do it.

Use the same Banner behaviour as for iAD

Create/have and admob Account add "new app to monetise" (german on screenshot)

Search for you app in the option

+Choose banner unit
+set refresh rate between 30 to 60 seconds
(i did 45, as the fill rate may suck if you do it to often and you get less impressions if you do it to rarely)
DONE

You get a unique app text to copy.
Publish your App and continue on the game salad publish page.

Hit the checkbox option Admob Banner at the bottom.
Hit the service tab on the left side.
Choose Admob.
Paste your unique app text into the device wise correct line.
DONE

Publish the game and make millions, if not billions.

I love the screenshots used to explain the process! Any to illustrate the last point? I'm sure that's the one people are interested in the most!

BigDave

@pHghost i am sure someone could pull up a well fitting image at this point I leave this opportunity open for someone else.

Nice guide BigDave.
Just to let you know - I've just updated to the latest version of your game Three Points on android, but no banner ads are being displayed at the moment... maybe it takes time to kick in, or maybe there's an issue?

BigDave

@DigiChain yeah I hope so! Else the new saviour of game salad android monetisation maybe doesn't support android O_o

@BlackCloakGS
hi dude. can you tell if admob banners is supposed to appear on android versions?
I updated 6 main apps this morning so far I do not see any impressions on admob.
Also the banner ad seem to not visible neither on the live version nor the adhoc version.

I guess right now banners are a problem. Interstitials admob works fine though.

BigDave

A problem
Thats the main reason most people looked forward to it.
Interstitials we had chartboost.

Then they finally release banner ads and ...
nothing works.

BigDave

working admob banners for me are a difference of 300 euro a month more
so I am pretty eager

@bigdave did you need to update your iOS games to get the banners out

BigDave

@tappwater Games

On iOS I leave iAD nothing wrong with that.
But on android where there was no banner option so far I updated 6 apps this morning removing my custom banner linking to my top performing game.
Google Play and Amazon version both updated but so far 0 impressions and my friends with android devices do not see any banner..

AngryBoi

Okay.. Hope they start showing. Thnaks

Hey fella. How long did it take before the banner showed up?

BigDave

couple of hours to max a day

some games did not create cpm and money until the first 1000 impressions were in

BigDave

PS: admob banners are a main part of my revenue now

i make daily average min. 8 euro
up to peaks on weekends sometimes of 52 euro

240 to 800 Euro a month just through this banner
