FAQ

Q: I think I've done everything correctly, but I'm not seeing any ads. What's up with that?

A: You should be seeing a "DidRequestAd" message in your application log. This means that an ad request was made to AdMob, but there was no matching ad to serve in your application. Your integration should be working, and there's nothing else you need to do. If this doesn't work, try the following:

1. Request an ad in test mode.

2. Double-check that your publisher id is set correctly and try again.

3. For the SDK, check whether the included sample projects displays ads. If it does, you might want to check that you are displaying the ad correctly on screen.

4. Confirm that there are ads available for your site by logging in to www.admob.com.

5. Also, the very first request to the AdMob adservers can sometimes take a while; if all else fails, wait 5-10 minutes and try again.

6. If this still doesn't work, email support@admob.com.

Q: Where does the market URL come from?

A: The Android Market URL for your application will be http://market.android.com/search?q=pname: followed by your application's classpath. For example: http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.example.ExampleApp
