Ssup Everyone ? Having Fun?
Well I am sure, after reading this post, most you won't feel good :P
Today, I was creating a new account on admob for one of my friend, and I was shocked to see that they have actually removed the mobile web option in "type of site" thing. Now we have only the option of smartphone web.
Most of you would be thinking, what's the big deal ? the thing is that the adcode for such sites is now not any php code, and instead a javascript code, just as google provide code for adsense for pc sites. Also they have removed the options "Downloads" under the category of the site, so basically all this means that google admob is revoking support for almost all wapsites and also the ad will be visible only on those phones which support javascripts (few people told me, that ad will be visible only on iphone or such compatible handsets only).
Here are the few questions and their probable answers which you will be thinking now :
Question 1. I have signed up for new account under smartphone web option, what disadvantage do i have?
Answer: You would have few disadvantages, like even lower fillrates, since smartphones are not used too widely even now, visitors having older phones would not receive ads, also you might not be able to use ad again if your account is once suspended on same domain.
Question 2. What are the advantages then?
Answer: There are few advantages, like you might get good revenue since it will incur better mobile targetting, pages will load even faster, since they will directly be fetched via javascript from admob server.
Question 3. Any other options ?
Answer: Yes there is an option, but too risky and might not be a permanent option. by adding new site, you will get publisher id which you can use in older ad codes, to access php ads, but then first of all its fully against the terms of admob and secondly, they would be terminating this very very soon, so its of no use.
Question 4. What about old publishers, who are using old php codes for ads?
Answer: Don't think you are safe
As I said, admob will definitely end and terminate the support for old codes soon, and all ads will be fetched from admob server via javascript only.
Question 5. Any other problems?
Answer: Yes, there is one more major problem. you would no longer be able to use pop ups for admob, since you will not get the access to the code directly, however some expert php wapmasters [ ;) ] might get to create popups for the same, but then, i guess those accounts will be suspended too soon by admob.
So Guys Get Ready For The Disaster
P.S.: All the information given above is my own opinions except for the few facts, I dont guarantee everything will happen exactly, but its just what i have analysed.
