AdMob is launching the developer program to fuel the growth of a new
wave of mobile publishers. AdMob has fielded strong demand from
advertisers for iPhone ads. As part of the program, AdMob will give $1
million to developers to promote their applications and services. The
program is available worldwide. Beginning today, developers can apply to
be included in the program at http://admob.com/iphone.
“AdMob has seen enormous growth in both our iPhone traffic and
advertiser interest. This new class of device, led by the iPhone, is
pivotal to the future of mobile browsing and of mobile media business
models,” said Omar Hamoui, CEO and Founder of AdMob. “We are excited to
leverage our platform to take advantage of the uniquely mobile connected
experiences that the iPhone makes possible.”
AdMob’s new iPhone ads are available
immediately to advertisers on www.admob.com
and through AdMob’s sales organization. The
ads blend graphical display with one of eight iPhone-specific actions.
These actions take advantage of the integration of applications on the
iPhone to provide one-click access to:
-
iTunes: open the iTunes store and purchase music or video
content from iTunes
-
App Store: visit the App Store and download applications
-
Audio: listen to recorded or streaming audio content
-
Video: view video and share video with friends
-
Call: initiate a voice call
-
Maps: launch maps and display relevant locations near that user’s
location
-
Web: visit iPhone websites
-
Custom: interactive user experiences

initial iPhone advertising solution over the last 11 months.

of mobile experience,” said Joel Cohen, Executive Vice President and
General Manager of MovieTickets.com. “AdMob worked with publishers to
build ad formats that fit well with our site, iphone.movietickets.com,
fit well with our business model. They have been a great partner as we
build out our mobile services.”
