AdMob mediation

[Vasco Freitas]

I am trying to use ad network mediation for the first time. I already have an app with AdMob ads, and I want to use mediation in order to show ads from other networks in that same ad unit. I did the following steps in order to try to add the AdColony network:

• Added AdColony network in the "Ad network optimization settings", and put the API key from a newly created AdColony account.
• In AdColony, I added the app I want to show ads in, and created an "Ad Zone" for that app.
• In AdMob, I added the new network to the ad unit. I entered the App ID, and Zone ID from AdColony. It also asked for "Client Options", but I have no idea what that is and left it blank. I left "Ad network optimization" on.
  
• I put an eCPM of $3.50 next to the ad source (should be enough to trigger the ads, I figured).

The problem is that, next to the AdColony Ad Source is says "Pending", and it has been this way for almost 4 days. However, when I click on "Ad Mediation Report", it shows that I have been getting a few hundred requests and impressions, and a few clicks. It does not show any money I may have made from these clicks, and the AdColony report has everything at zero. I'm not sure if the impressions are supposed to appear in the AdColony report, and if the money I receive through these ads goes to AdMob or AdColony.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Hi Vasco,

From what you've described, it looks like you have set up mediation properly. Regarding the Ad source marked as "Pending", you would need to check with product support about that. From an SDK standpoint, do you see any issues when requesting Ads?

good day Vasco Freitas

I got same warning "pending" can you help me if y overcome this problem

Hi Ali,

Pending status would only indicate that the AdMob dashboard is trying to load the eCPM values from your mediation network. This must not affect your ads from being served in any ways and it's more for reporting purposes. If you want this resolved from your account, I would suggest you to contact our AdMob Product Support team.

Hi Veer,

I have question about ads revenue  from meditation
as you know  some network required SDK & adapter in same time some network not required , how to get revenue from tow type network , shall I create account for each network to monetized and withdrawal revenue  or admob will take care about this issue

[Veer Arjun Busani(Mobile Ads SDK Team)]

Hi Ali,

You would be paid through the respective Ad Networks. AdMob only pays for the ads that were served through its network and the same goes for the other networks. I would suggest you to contact the support for the other networks about setting up payment. And here is a payment guideline for AdMob on how you can do the same for our network.
