admob adds to plugins (for developers of plugins)

Hi i recently had this problem when i try to add admob adds to my application in the simple quiz plugin the add overlap the quiz button at the bottom and make the header image go under the buttons http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c316/caslor_1978/diafora/application/2014-03-24-17-07-36_zpsf86aad1f.jpg when i try adjust the adds to apear at the top i had the problem that now overlap the header image and cant you see it (and it is important as most of them are part of the questions in the quiz) http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c316/caslor_1978/diafora/application/2014-03-24-09-45-43_zps67a1ed35.jpg on friend here suggested to post this problem as a new post in order to take it as a consideration the plugin developers and make it possible to leave space for adds in their plugins so here i am

A plugin developers first priority is to make a functional and useful screen, usually we don't think of ad space as part of the design :-) Some screens work better for ads than others (naturally), but you'll have a hard time finding plugin developers who would be willing to alter the design of their plugins and give away valuable space for users who want to place ads in them. Actually, I take that back, a plugin developer could make a "optional" view that would only take up the space if the ad space was enabled, but again, not sure if that would be a top priority, until more people ask for it. For now, your *best bet* is to get as creative as possible with multiple plugins and with the space you are provided :-) I know that doesn't help you too much, but hope the answer sheds a little light. Cheers friend, Cheers, David https://btmods.com/chat

David in one part you are right but in other i think you are not there are two type of users... free and members (payed) My opinion is that when something is free you have the right suggest some changes... but you dont have the right to complain if it is not working right. From the moment that is free you use it as it is and if it has problems you learn to live with them or you leave it From the other hand are the payed customers why someone will want to make an application for smartphones? 1)for private use 2) comercial use in private use you can do it with the free option as it will be for you or for some people you will know Comercial use will be : a) as a payed Project - application from a third person that hire you to make his application b) as a payed application for you to sell c) as a free application to gain some money from adds so when you pay a plugin you want to have all the options available in the other hand why to pay it if you cant earn some money from it ? i am not a developer and i dont know if it is hard or easy to make plugins with the add-friendly interface but as more and more users make free aplications targeting money income from advertisments i thing that developers of the plugins should take as a consideration to make them add-friendly or make 2 versions of them.. one be able to display right way the adds this is my opinion/suggestion

Caslor, you are absolutely correct! The only thing I would note was that I was not saying you couldn't make suggestions or complaints, rather I was trying to give you some insight into what Plugin Developers may think about Ad integration and how high of a priority it is on the list for them. For-sure it makes sense if you pay for a plugin you hope to make your money back. I'm sure as the market grows and as demand grows, more and more plugin developers will start offering easier ad integration solutions. Until then, keep making suggestions, and stay creative!
