Hello,

I'm implementing the Wish List application (list of items you wanna have). And I think of a possibility to show ads, based on existing items in list. E.g. if you have Nike T-short in your list, I would like to show you some of "Nike" related ads. So ideally I'm looking for a way to pass a free text "Nike" keyword to a network and get a corresponding ad back. Is that possible with AdMob?

I skimmed through AdMob iOS how to and Targeting section, but failed to find the answer.

Thank you.

Hi Vadim,

This is not possible via AdMob network itself, but you can try our Search Ads feature from AdSense. However, you need to be first enrolled and you can use this form to start this process. Note that this would be part of AdSense but you can load ads using our SDK. You can use our guidelines to go through the implementation for iOS.

Apart from this, you can use DFP's Custom Targeting feature to get ads more on this line. I would suggest you to use our Advanced Sample app to learn more about the implementation. Note that you need to be part of DFP as well if you want to use this feature.

Thanks,

I just found this on SO (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26501765/send-keywords-and-targeting-info-to-admob-for-better-ads):

AdRequest.Builder builder = new AdRequest.Builder()
        .addTestDevice("and id for your device")
        .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
        .addKeyword("orange")
        .addKeyword("yellow")
        .addKeyword("blue");

Isn't it something I could use?

Hi Vadim,

My assumption was that you have already tried this and were looking for alternatives. This would certainly work as well and you can try the previously linked sample app, which includes this, for you to test as well.

Let us know if you need anything else.

Thanks,
