5. Start Serving Ads

Make sure TEST_MODE is set to false and you are ready to start serving ads. It may take a few ad requests for you to receive your first ad.

  • NOTE: After you send us a request for a live ad (not an AdMob Test Ad), your site status will change to 'Active'. It will revert back to an 'Inactive' status if you stop sending requests in live mode for longer than 48 hours.

FAQ

Q: How do I know I have integrated AdMob ads properly?
 When you first load your page with our ad code, be sure to have test mode set to true. If you see a 'AdMob Test Ad' then you have properly integrated our publisher code. Please be sure to set test mode to 'false' when you are ready to show live AdMob ads.

Q: Why is my publisher ID status Inactive?
 A: Two hours after you serve your first live ad, the status will change to Active. If you are not able to serve live ads, please check how you've integrated our ad code or email support@admob.com .
