Can I create multiple AdMob ADs for a single Android app?

[farproc]

I want to publish my app to different sites and want keep track the
earnings of each of them. The only way I figured out is to create a
different ad for each version. I use the same Android Package URL to
create different AdMob ads because all the versions of my app have the
same package name.

As far as I know, AdMob does not complain the same Package URL for
different ads. What I want to confirm is whether this kind of
duplication violates any AdMob policy? I can't find anything related
in the help page.

Thanks.

That's a great question. I have not seen anything that multiple ID for
a single app violate policy, but based on this tip:

Register different apps or sites separately and use different
developer and publisher IDs. Using one developer or publisher ID
across multiple apps or sites limits our ability to optimize
performance.

from the "tips" page, I assume that mutliple ID's could actually
improve app performance, if you have reason to believe different
filters or ad categories could impact performance within the app
itself (I'm thinking of a reference type app that has an entertainment
section and maybe a tools section - you would want different ads for
the different types of user interaction).

Their tip seems to encourage the use of multiple ID's for tracking and
performance purposes. If there is policy to the contrary, please let
us know. I might start doing the same thing... (I believe different
releases/versions of an app could be considered different apps;
especially because some distribution channels have specific app
requirements, such as Amazon's pricing policy or ESDN's "lite version"
requirements, and distribution channel target markets vary.)

You guys should be fine with this approach.

I suppose it's possible, but not recommended - you'd have two accounts to manage. What's the use case for splitting your app's ad revenue in two different accounts?

But what about multiple admob accounts?

Can I have multiple accounts and use different publisher id's from different accs in one app?

The AdSense terms make this pretty clear. I don't think it's that clear for AdMob. To be on the safe side though, I'd stick to one account. I still can't think of a use case to have multiple accounts anyways.

Thanks,

It does not violate terms? In this page http://support.google.com/admob/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1693551 in first question there is a link to adsense terms https://www.google.com/adsense/terms which does not allow multiple accounts. I ask because one of my admob accounts got banned. Could multiple accounts be a reason for that?

Hello chitransh Mathur,

Which SDK version are you using? I used to see this error sometimes on old SDK versions, and when the device/simulator didn't have a solid internet connection.

Thanks,
Eric

Hi,

I am working on android app & making a simple AdMob app. The problem is that when i run my app some times it shows ads but some time it throws an exception like: "adloader timed out after 60000ms while getting the html". My app & AVD version is 2.3.3.
