Just as the title asks, is it a bad idea to make my ad unit id public? Must it be kept private? What could someone do if they had access to it?

Thanks.

The only thing someone could do with your ad unit is use it in an app, which would make you more money. Theoretically it's possible someones uses it maliciously, but they'd have nothing to gain. It would also be pretty easy to see where the bad traffic was coming from, especially considering the malicious use would be in a different app.

Thanks,
Eric
