Hi!
I am now trying to implement admob ads in my android apps.
Test ads can be shown in the emulator properly in test mode.
However, when i disable test mode (remove the setTestDevice code) and try to display the live ads, no ads can be shown in both emulator & real device. In log can, a log claimed that there are no ads to be displayed.
In the admob screen, I found that the Fill rate is always 0%. I wonder is this the reason I got no ads to be displayed? If yes, how can i improve the fill rate?
Thanks!
hi, i just started using ads a few days ago and had the same problem, the app needs to be realeased and then used for a bit to increase the number of "requests" (a request is made everytime the program tries to access a new ad), once the # of request increases then the fill rate will increase (e.g. my one app was released friday and has had over 4,000 requests and the ad rate is about 57%). once the fillrate gets higher then you'll start seeing ads... you can go to the sites/apps section on admob (where it shows revenue and stuff) and go to your app and click "reporting", which gives you all the statistics of that app, the "impression" category tells you how many times ads actually showed up.
Thanks For your reply!
One more thing i want to know: does admob pay by impressions , or pay be clicks?
If only user clicks can generate revenue, then wt's the use of impressions?

Admob pays by clicks (at least in my case).
And as hyperbyteX stated, you need to release the app and wait a bit (depending on how popular it is) before you see any live ads.
Hope that helps
Im not sure I understand what you mean by what's the "use". Admob gives very detailed statistics about requests, impressions, CTR, eCPM and clicks. If you aren't interested in knowing those other fields, then ignore them. Most people are interested to see that kind of stuff though.
Impressions help you see how effective your Ads/ad placement is. Also sometimes Admod does not have any Ads to give to you(No one has bought ads that are targeted at you), thats why you don't always see ads.
HA~ I understand now~
Thanks for you guys' help~

Thank you that answered my question also because I have noticed that sometimes my app displays ads sometime not. Good to know that thats the reason.
Consider switching another Mobile Ad Network?
First time using Admob, I have the same problems like you. After do some research and try some other ad network, I recommend Adsota as an alternative. its eCPM is much better than Admob. It has quick and smooth payment. Work for IOS and Android and 100% Fill-rate. Adsota works better for me and I think It could work better for you. Give it a try.
You can find by googling "ads.appota".
Best of luck, mate!
Hello everybody.
I'm a noob. As stated by the video that I saw when registering Hope to be not banned for my very first message
I develop Android apps since about 6 months. I've been including simple banner ads by AdMob in the first months, then I decided to multiply my ads because of the very low earnings I get.
AdMob gives me as low as 6$/day for 7 apps that have summed over 100.000 downloads. It does not look very fair.
Then, I decided to add interstitials and appwalls by LeadBolt. Appwalls are intended to be only on user-request (so triggered by a button or a menu) while interstitials appear on their own in certain fair moments of the life cycle of the app.
At the beginning it appeared to me that I would have at least doubled the AdMob earnings, but after few days the earnings by LeadBolt have gone lower and lower. Now I earn a misery like 1$/2$ per day and users start complaining about too much ads.
What is incredible to me is that I very often see hundreds of clicks, thousands of impressions, and zero earnings. Not just LOW, but zero!
I talked with the (very present and very quick) LeadBolt service trying to understand why earnings are so low and why they oscillate so much. And why should I sell clicks for 0$... what kind of bid is that?
I had very techincal explanation that frankly did not convince me (or maybe I did not understand them). Anyway the problem remains.
I am putting my work in bad light to my users for what it appeared to be 10$-20$ and turn out to be 1$/day, and I give clicks away for nothing.
Still, everywhere I read about LeadBolt as one of the most profitable, if not the best, ad network out there.
Anyone had this kind of problem with LB? Anyone could suggest me?
Talking about other networks, currently I am valutating to add StartApp for searchicons and AirPush for push ads, do you think that it's a good choice? Should I use AdMob mediation also, or LunarAds, or is it just a waste of time?
Thanks for all to all.

Using push ads you risk to get a lot of bad reviews and some antivirus app thinks that it is malware.
I wanna to know what is the best AdNetwork too.
This is not good new's, i just started using leadbolt as i heard a lot of good stuff about them aswell! Keep us updated as i'm interested to see if things pick up for you with them.

In Leadbolt, advertising inventory is a combination of Cost Per Click (CPC), Cost Per Install (CPI) and Cost Per Action (CPA) ads. CPC ads will earn revenue as soon as the ad is clicked by the user. However, CPA/ CPI ads are paid on the basis of a conversion, which varies based on the ad type, but can include installing an app, calling a phone number etc.
If a CPA/ CPI ad receives a click, but there is not a conversion (for example, the advertised app install ad is clicked on, but the user does not install the app) then LeadBolt does not earn revenue and revenue will not be added to your account. If your account has registered clicks, but is not yet receiving any revenue, it is most likely that the user has clicked on a CPA ad, but did not complete required action to indicate a conversion, such as installing an app.
With Leadbolt model, I think we must have huge of requests and clicks from user, then we can get revenue! You should try Airpush Smart Wall, in my case it's better than Leadbolt!
Leadbolt has low eCPM for me too.
Use Admob of MobFox instead.

This is from my posts here, and my experience from apps using Leadboltads as a {content removed} conduit for malware.
If you align yourself with these people, this is what you can expect.

" LEADBOLTADS IS MALWARE,,,DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYTHING!
My browser started popping open on reboot/start up to 'ad.leadboltads.net' page full of apps and advertising.
This behaviour is known as malware.
Lookout Security & Antivirus found mine in ChargeBar Free Edition,
ChargeBar came embedded in the NottachTrix 2.3.0 ROM.
I installed it (NottachTrix) and it (ChargeBar) didn't update for 3 months, then, BANG.
I've deleted ChargeBar's update, moved it from system apps to apps, deleted it, and the browser pop open 'ad.leadboltads.net' still persists.
Lookout Security & Antivirus can not find the new location of the malware, they do not have a forum.
By the very definition and behaviour, this is malware, and, ChargeBar (Asgard Casino Apps) is involved in the distribution of malware.
Asgard Casino Apps distributes 34 apps that behave this way.
They are using Google Play Store to distribute this malware, abet, that app is benign in its origin, its a pipeline, or conduit for malware.
Sneaky F##kers aren`t they.........
#1) I would like to get this crap off my phone.
#2) I need to bring this to Google's attention, and have the developer and apps banned from the Play store.
Sooo, starting with #1,,,how do I get this crap off my phone!
NOTE:
I will be linking to this post in the NottachTrix post, I'm asking the developers to to move ChargeBar from the ROM zip.
My MBAM forum post: https://forums.malwarebytes.org/inde...06#entry764184 "
And you wonder why your returns are low?
Ask yourself this: Am I involved in the distribution of Malware?
Leadbolt offers mostly CPI ads, whereas AdMob CPC ads. The difference between CPI and CPC ads is that in the former that user has to click and install the app!
hello friends,
i use admob for for my apps(for oonetization), which is my second app
i was using only banner ads in the starting, while using that,i only used to get $1-$2 per day only..
then i added interstitial ads also in the same app.after that revenue increased to $10 per day!!
i want to know is this normal?
my ecpm - $0.33
fill rate -99.71%
ctr -0.46, most of my ad clicks and downlaods are from US.does this affect this?
thanks in advance

It's normal on any ad network for interstitials to perform better than banners. I would recommend avoiding a banners-only approach for almost all apps. Here's some stats from AppFlood.
In this experiment, the blogger did the math for a CPC campaign with a $0.3 bid and a CPI campaign with a $3.00 bid, both based on 100,000 impressions. For the CPC campaign, banner ads earned $9.60 and interstitials earned $1,024.40. That's huge! And in the CPI campaign banners earned nothing and interstitials earned $96.
Then check out AppFlood's August click-through-rates, 0.23% for banners and 5.70% for interstitials.
AppFlood also has some other nice ad formats like app lists and panels, and rich media is on its way soon. Hope that clears it up!

Hi,
This is normal as ecpm is higher with Admob interstitials (but fill rate is lower), US clicks have a very good ecpm, all this explains why you get that, Don't forget the effect of increasing number of users that will bring more revenue too. I recommend you using mediation with other ad networks like MMedia or InMobi
wow.. that's great.. I don't have a good experience using interstitial.. my uninstall rate is higher since using interstitial.. so, I'm just using banner for my prospecting top apps now
You just need to be careful with the interstitials. If you show them too often, or at an annoying time for the user then your uninstall rate will obviously increase. On exit is probably the least intrusive, and limit the number shown to a max of one or two a session.

On exit is a pretty bad idea, although many devs fall for this. It will result in a very low CTR and is actually against the AdMob TOS:
Do not place interstitial ads on app load and when exiting apps as interstitials should only be placed in between pages of app content.

We tested over 30 different ad provider and mediation networks and can say Appodeal
is by far the best monetization plattform with the highest revenue and fillrates.
Take a look at our stats from the last days:
The eCPM is ALWAYS between $ 10 and $ 30! Thats the highest eCPM we've ever seen.
The SDK is very easy to integrate! Appodeal serve ads based on revenue.
See the stats. There is nothing more to say

Have heard great things about Appodeal.
It is normal
I think the increase is reasonable
- Interstitial ads are always known to be more effective in reaching the customers and calling to their actions (download or install). So by using it, you actually gets more downloads for the advertisers, which bring you more money. However, Interstitial ads are also known to be intrusive if used carelessly. It may harm the user experience in a long run. So be mindful with that.
- Your app can be good and it attracts users gradually. --> more people exposed to your app.
However, I recommend that you use several mobile ads network at a time to maximize your revenue.
I have tried using Adsota, Appstart, Revmob, Airpush and only adsota seems to work well for me. ITs eCPM is decent, quick and smooth SDK integration, quick payment. You will earn more with it. You can find by googling "ads.appota"
Best of luck.

* try other ad networks through admob mediation, I have a good experience with the mmedia. This ad network gave three times more income than admob.
* make a paid version without ads.
You should check out NOTIFY.
We'd love to see if we could win your business. We have been working closely with all of our developer partners to drive more revenue for them. We have ad units for google play and even more aggressive ad units for alternative app-stores that developers request. See here: https://www.notifymob.com

Hello mnon3d,
eCPM depends on a variety of factors like the number of impressions, the type of game, the location of your users, etc...
However, if you think that eCPM is low for your game, I recommend reaching out to our support team at [email protected]. They may be able to give you some tips on how to optimize the ads in your game.
Best,
Cassidy
Hi
Ecpm depends on Geo traffic and quality of traffic. Below ad networks are providing good Ecpm rates for all Geo's.
1) Tribal Fusion
2) Globaladspace
3) Adtegrity
4) Harrenmedia
5) CPX Interactive
6) ValueClick Media
7) Intergi
8) Clicksor
Your eCPM payout will depend heavily on your genre/platform/user geos, as well as the advertisers running with the network.
If you want a list of other potential networks to test out, you can visit Thalamus.co
It's used more on the UA side, and we have average CPI + install rates by genre/platform/country, but it should be able to give you a good sense of which networks might be good to add into the mix.
