I have just finished free app for iOS which I have added iADs Want to convert this to Android. 4 questions 1) Can you implement ads via BT1.5 for android 2) What is the best service to go for Admob or Mobfox 3) Is it best to upload to Android marketplace first or to integrate whatever code is needed in BT files first 4) On the screens where I have enable advertising (of iads) do I need to disable them or remove iad before submitting to android marketplace. Mark

Didn't find Admob vs. Mobfox but I did find Admob vs. iAds Fred http://www.fiercedeveloper.com/story/apple-slashes-iad-pricing-developer-revenues-dwindle/2011-12-12 Just in case your wondering, I didn't pick this article based on it's title.

LOL - Fred you make me smile everyday. How do implement the ads my android guru. Do I do it before or after completing app

Doesn't matter. Depends on your approach. I usually submit apps with ads right from the start. It can have a negative impact if you integrate ads at a later date. At least users know what to expect when you have ads right from the start. I'm thinking of Angry Birds on Android. Ad free to start with, integrated ads later and got a lot of negative feedback. Still made millions though...

Either way. iAds pay rate going to 70% http://marketingland.com/apple-cuts-iad-prices-to-attract-advertisers-compete-better-with-admob-6096

from reading an article earlier posted by Fred himself it seems Iad are growing very rapidly and will probably be the main player for IOS

Not much use for Android though..

iAds is struggling with their model and it's demands for control . With increase sales of iPads it's been given a second life. FaceBook is also struggling with mobile advertising. (Read be very careful about buying their IPO) Google is certainly the Top Dog, now everyone needs to find their niche. For us the developers Google has more advertisers hence more revenue. Some niche advertiser platforms may be better than others. Admob Leadbolt And more Haven't pinned down real data, which may be impossible to quantify. Fred

so is there a basic guide on how to implement ads on an android project, like GoNorthWests step by step guides

Will have one soon. Been approved for Admobs. I think it's just entering info on CP. Fred

Well done fred. Will you let us know, keen to develop android side (no laughing)

One day you'll have to explain how Xcode is easier than Eclipse with your disappearing images files, now they're here files. Fred

@Marko they have a guide on buzztouchmods http://buzztouchmods.com/downloads.php?cat_id=3&download_id=5 it points to a URL that seems to have a nice guide for Admob BT 1.4 Android apps. I was just looking at it yesterday myself.

You could try these guides for Android BTv1.5, although judging by the amount of people who've asked about Android ad network integration Vs the people who've commented on the posts, they may be invisible...

Thank you all for your guidance, I will digest these over the weekend and ask and robe your ninja coding minds further.
