Request: please update instructions of mediation ad networks

On the Admob console website, when trying to add new ad-sources for Admob mediation, various items there produce bad links, or pages that have no forms:

https://developers.google.com/admob/android/choose-networks

https://admob.google.com/v2/mediation/groups/list

Examples are:

1. Fluct - goes to https://contract.fluct.jp/open_bidding?from=google , says to wait for the form to load, but never finishes.

2. OneTag Exchange - goes to https://platform.onetag.com/signup/open-bidding , which has an error of "You can only access this page from your Google Ad Manager or AdMob account."

3. Sonobi - goes to https://alpha.sonobi.com/graphql/cta/ , which has the error of "Invalid Parent Origin"

4. TripleLift - can't even find it. It was written it's beta, but no information how to try it

5. Zucks - https://developers.google.com/admob/android/mediation/zucks - docs are almost empty, showing just "<<_includes/_mediation_android>>".

Talking with some of the ad-sources companies, they told me to contact Admob, but reaching the website and choosing to contact via email, it always tells me "Something went wrong. Please try again", and the only other option is to reach here, on the public forum, the "community"...

https://support.google.com/admob/gethelp?sjid=2971513177472315329-EU

I've also noticed that some companies have requirements that don't match everyone. This should be mentioned instead of wasting time of trying to contact each of them.

Another issue is that some docs are outdated, such as Unity Ads, as the step of mediation is a bit different, and the "ad units" choice is deprecated:
https://developers.google.com/admob/android/mediation/unity

Not only that, but it says that for bidding option, "Contact your Google account manager to create bidding placements.", but there is no link or any explanation what this is and how to contact this person...

What should be done? How can Admob be notified about these issues?

Please update the websites.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the Mobile Ads SDK Support team.

Kindly note that our support channel can only best assist you with regards to Google Mobile Ads SDK implementation and technical issues. I've checked this link (https://developers.google.com/admob/android/mediation/zucks) and am able to open without any issue. For other AdMob console bad links, I would recommend that you reach out to the Product support team as they are better equipped to address your concern effectively.

Thanks,

About Zucks, you haven't checked well. I didn't mean the Admob docs themselves. I meant what's inside...

Please check the links inside there, meaning these:

Zucks Resources
Documentation
SDK
Adapter
Customer support

As for your link of "Product support team", it doesn't work. It always shows an error when trying to send. Not to mention it forces me to fill fields that don't make sense.

Instead I wrote to the "community" there:

About  "OneTag Exchange", when trying to reach it from Admob's website itself, it doesn't automatically fill the " Google Publisher ID" field, and doesn't let me fill it either (field is disabled).

This is how it looks like:

Seems some of these just don't like some web browsers and/or addons. 

However, some do have issues:

1. Flurry- seems removed and very old.

2. mytarget - Internal error

3. Line- cannot register

4. Zucks - empty docs on Admob about what's required

5. Sonobi - Invalid Parent Origin

6. TripleLift - cannot add to mapping - cannot find anywhere
