What is Google AdMob and how can I make money with it: A quick introduction

Posted on by

For those who are familiar with making money online, most of them have probably heard of Google AdSense and know that it is a great way for website owners to monetize their content. But many of them may not be so familiar with AdMob. However, AdMob is a wonderful tool that you can’t ignore if you plan to make money by developing mobile apps. Here is a brief introduction of AdMob.

AdMob is a mobile advertising company founded by Omar Hamoui. The name AdMob is a combination of two English words: Advertisement + Mobile. The company was founded on April 10, 2006, when Hamoui was still studying at Wharton Business School. In November 2009, Google bought the company for $750 million. Apple Inc. also expressed its interest in acquiring the company in that same year, but was eventually defeated by Google. AdMob can provide advertising solutions for mainstream mobile platforms, including Android, iOS, webOS, Flash Lite, Windows Phone and all standard mobile web browsers.

Many people confuse AdMob with Google AdSense, but AdMob is a mobile application advertising platform designed specifically for application developers. It helps mobile app developers make money from apps by displaying advertisements in mobile applications. At present, AdMob is one of the largest mobile advertising platforms in the world. It is said to provide more than 40 billion mobile banners and text ads per month through mobile websites and mobile applications.

So how do you start making money through AdMob? Developers just need to register a free account through Google and install SDK into their applications. Advertising revenue is usually based on CPC (pay per click), but there are also CPM (pay per thousand displays) advertising available. AdMob is not only for Android but also for iOS applications.
