Android AdMob Vertical ads

Question

My app is mostly in a landscape layout and the regular rectangle ads does not fit well with my overall design.

Is it possible to create a vertical ad using AdMob? I mean an ad that's in the Google skyscraper design (adsense) As shown in the photo, I'd like my add to be in the shape of the red rectangle.

Android:rotation="90" on the adView does the trick.

how do you left align the ad? also won't the text get rotated so that it no longer reads top to bottom? – morpheus Dec 21 '15 at 00:19

AdMob offers only the following banner formats:

320x50 Standard Banner

300x250 IAB Medium Rectangle

468x60 IAB Full-Size Banner

728x90 IAB Leaderboard Tablets

You can modify the size of the View that shows the ad, but the documentation says that:

No ads will be returned if your view size is too small.

But how do I rotate it to be vertical? – Aviran Sep 28 '12 at 20:10
There are also smart banners with other sizes like 32px height and match parent width, etc, these days. PS These seem to have a far lower fill rate. – John Ashmore Oct 23 '14 at 12:25
