I’ve had 4 days of using the new iPhone tools at AdMob, as both an advertiser and a publisher. It’s too early to give you picture of my experience as an advertiser, but my experience as a publisher has been aweful.

In a nutshell, the payouts to me as a developer are dire. I’ve received as little as 5 cents for a click on an shown on one of my iPhone webapps. This, in the knowledge that I’m having to pay a minimum of 62 cents to have my ad shown, makes me sick!

Someone will get rich, but it’ll not be a publisher. $1million giveaway to iPhone devs? That sounds impressive, but when you consider that’s my experience that a 62 cents per click ad campaign can see them paying out as little as 5 cents to a publisher, it’ll only cost AdMob $80,000 to deliver the £1million of advertising.

There will be 100s if not 1,000s of little aps for your phone. The winners will all have 5 things in commom:

1. The experience will be engaging
2. Relevant to the viewer
3. Should be non-intrusive (which is the hard part)
4. Really cool
5. And better not make you crash when you are driving your car!!!

Has anyone done testing with end users to see how this will impact their experience?

What’s very interesting about how to plan content OR advertising for the iPhone is how to balance the fact that it enables people to get the same version as they see on their desktop computers with the fact that a. it does other things like tilt and b. is mobile so people’s needs might be different.
It’s a proper challenge: ‘you’re seeing this on an iPhone - does that mean you want the normal version or a mobile/iPhone version’

Adding graphics and distractions in a website or app doesn’t sound like added value. Isn’t there a lesson in what MSN did and how Google won on the desktop? People like subtle text ads. That’s the user experience. First AdMob tries to be the Google of mobile, now they’re trying to be the MSN of mobile. Er, the AOL of mobile? Blech.

It is very unfortunate that I could not sign up my website with AdMob because they are prejudiced like Google and do not accept websites that contain porn.

But then have no problem taking money from porn webmasters who want to advertise on their network (regarding Google ads at least).

Nicely done, it makes it worthwhile to watch or click the ads instead of the intrusive ones like the popups we get. Well done AdMob, I wish I knew how to implement the codes there, hope they make it easy for the less savvy web designers.

Do you think people really want video (and sound) taking over their phone while they are running applications? Seems like a user experience killer to me. As an application developer, I would rather have a ad that compliments the experience, not compete for it.

What is the likelihood that people click on a mobile ad vs. an ad on a desktop/laptop based in internet experience? Are we seeing more people click on mobile ads? http://www.gothamtechminute.blogspot.com

Where is that video taken? I’d like to play a round there… Sounds like an awesome new set of ad units, though. Congrats to the AdMob team.

Awesome. The only thing wrong with mobile advertising was that it wasn’t free, which meant the ROI just wasn’t there. Now the developers will still have creative costs, but if they follow the trend of most ads I have seen on mobile, they should be able to seriously short the creatives and actually make some money. If AdMob can sustain the free model through to corporate and brand advertising, then I can see more customers doing this.

The future of mobile advertising depends on innovation. The iPhone, being what it is, offers marketeers with enough brains an effective way to target the users.Whether it is location-based advertising, OS-dependent advertising, bar-code advertising… the ideas keep on coming.
