Android: Keywords

[Yahma]

Hello,

I'm currently using Adwhirl with Admob, Millennial and Quattro. I am
using the 2.1.1 version.

Previously, when I used admob exclusively, I was able to define
keywords and/or a search term to help Admob serve relevant ads. How
can I do the same thing with Adwhirl? (ie. define keywords)

Thank You

This is not currently supported in the JAR distribution of
AdWhirl/Android, but will likely be supported in the future -
http://code.google.com/p/adwhirl/issues/detail?id=35.

You can set any targeting parameters you want if you use the source
distribution, as you have full access to the adapters and therefore
direct access to the ad network SDKs as well.

Just to add to this: Since the AdMob SDK does its targeting and
keywords using a static object, you can still set those targeting
criteria and keywords independently of the AdWhirl request, and it
will take effect when an AdMob ad is being served. Other adapters
(like Millennial, and yet-unimplemented SDKs like AdSense) require the
keywords and/or targeting to be specified on a per-request basis, at
the time of requesting the ad, and will therefore not work this way.

In my application, even though I'm using AdWhirl to serve the ads, I'm
still setting targeting and keyword information using the static
AdManager object. It just doesn't take effect for other ad networks.

Hi Joe,

How do you set the keywords using the static AdManager object?
I see you can set gender, zipcode and a few other items, but to set
keywords appears as though you need to instantiate an AdView for
Admob. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Gene
