Google AdSense provides a way for publishers to earn money from their online content. AdSense works by matching ads to your site based on your content and visitors. The ads are created and paid for by advertisers who want to promote their products. Since these advertisers pay different prices for different ads, the amount you earn will vary. AdSense displays relevant ads to your site visitors next to your content and allows you to customize the look and feel of ads to match your site.N/A

Google AdMob is the best choice in my opinion for any developer or company looking for a reliable way to monetize their app traffic and generate revenue from relevant ads displayed inside their mobile app, and it can be easily integrated into any IOS or Android App.

If you own a small website with a general audience, [Google] AdSense is for you. If you have a larger website, and/or very niche subject matter on your site, finding individual partners to sell ads to generally can result in higher earnings. Adsense will pay you based upon impressions and clicks, typically individual partners will only pay for clicks in my experience.

No special reason for choosing Google AdMob. Out point is easy to gain appropriate knowledge from youtube.com and people who work with us. We won't have another similar application so far. However, we feel it works well and makes us happy because of easy function and experience. So I recommend this if we need to apply this for our company activity.

As part of the Google ecosystem as well as being the world's foremost browser, a company has to start with AdSense as a foundational element in any web presence monetization strategy. Other competitor offerings should be considered niche nice to have features suitable for specific use cases.

Return on Investment
Google
  • Before I got into it my other friends told me there are way better Ad providers. But being a Google fan I still signed up.
  • Now I remember writing to AdMob, requesting them to give me earning rates... But they never replied. So zero return on investment. They just keep you guessing.
