How to put ads in my Google App Engine application?

[Miguel Alfonso Varela Fonseca]

Hi everybody.

My question is really simple: How can I put ads into my GAE application?

I've developed an interesting application in the google app engine (GAE) plataform and I want to put ads in that in the same way AdSense does or the ads you find in free Android aplications.

I've search in some Internet forums but I'm not being able to find a concrete or clear answer, even, I'm not sure if GAE policies allow me to put those ads in my app, but independently of it, I want to know is How can I put ads into my GAE application?

Additionally, I've seen AdSense options, It is intended for like static web sites, pages, portals, etc, and AdMob is for mobile apps like Android, IOs, etc. But no one of them is oriented for GAE Apps. I hope a really clear answer from you. (because answers I've found are like: "yes you can", or "following instructions of blah")

Thanks a lot.

GAE is simply a hosting service. Whether or not you use GAE is completely irrelevant to Adsense. If you want to put Adsense ads on your site, just follow the normal tutorial for web sites.

Here's a similar question, and a similar answer given previously: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-appengine/DPMKfp_hexo

Hi, Vinny, thanks for your answer. 

As I said, I have an application, not a website. the "normal tutorial" of AdSense if for web sites. That way, those tutorials are not usefull for me. In adition, following the normal tutorial there are two issues. 1. It requires a website to analize the posible ads to use, and if my web site is actually a dynamic app, will not be content to analize (the "insufficient content" issue from other posts). 2. my app is hosted in GAE (by google), and AdSense denies those google hosts. That way, it is not as exactly as GAE is irrelevant for AdSense. 

I've tried to use AdSense for Google Sites and Blogger but it simply allows me to add AdSense in those services but not so in my GAE app. I've seen the question you suggested, but it talks about using the AdSense gotten from who knows where inside a span. It would be more userfull if I got an AdSense aproved account to use with my app.

Thanks again for your answer.

There are ways around this; the Adsense robot doesn't inspect content loaded via Javascript. When I was writing GWT applications, I encountered the same problem. See https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/Google-Web-Toolkit/KmSGUpLhInY for an example solution to this (essentially you have to create a static site for Google/Bing/etc to index).

Ah, then you're using an [app-id].appspot.com domain. You need to get your own domain name. You'll have to buy one from NameCheap or another domain registrar. Or, I believe you can get .tk domains for free, you might want to look into that.

You're not going to get an Adsense account without your own domain name. Once you do, they'll give you a scrap of Javascript that you can then embed into your dynamic app (that's what they're talking about, they're placing the Adsense JS inside a span).

Hi Everybody. I've just got an email from Leandro Rezende, asking me for an explanation about what I've donne, and I think, could be a little helpful If I share it in the thread.

In my case, I have an app in google apps engine wich I wanna put some ads in. My problem is that the AdSense uses the url of the web product to analyze the static content and identify the correct kind of ads to show. Unfortunatelly the content of those apps is dynamic, so AdSense can not analyze it; and additionally, some Google hosts (as appspot.com) are nor valid to use (for analysis) with AdSense.

The firts obstacule I had to resolve was to get the AdSense account. In order to avoid buying hosts, domains, etc. I decided to use the Google Sites option, There I put some contet explaining my web app and enabled the "Use AdSense" option in the site. after a couple of days, AdSense system accepted my content as valid for get ads to show. (Resuming, the first thing you need is some static web content to AdSense to analyze, as a webpage, or a blog, Google has some special places to get the AdSense acccount as Sites or Youtube).

After it, what I have to do (I've not gotten time enough to do this yet) is to copy some html code from the static site to my dynamic app, I'm not sure how it will reult, but I'm gonna being telling it in the thread.

Thanks to everybody.
