Making Ads in Android

Question

I want to make a free app but generate revenue in some way, so I figured I would put ads in my app. Does anyone have any recommendations on the best/easiest way to do so? Thanks

First choose an [advertising service](http://stackoverflow.com/a/6262918/741249), then follow it's instructions on how to set it up. — THelper, Feb 10 '12 at 10:47

Is there any fee to use them? – au789 Mar 31 '11 at 23:02
Recent messages in AdMob discussion group are quite discouraging. It would be nice to have some more alternatives for this. – ketorin Apr 09 '11 at 20:53

I reviewed MobFox (http://www.ProjectJourneyman.com/android-ad-revenue-mobfox) as well as Admob vs. MobClix (http://www.ProjectJourneyman.com/android-ad-revenue-mobclix-admob). I currently use all three to maximize my revenue. Admob is more of a fallback, though.

Once you get more established you can tweak things to improve your revenue, but my first recommendation is to add another ad company to your arsenal besides Admob.

I've also tried Leadbolt as they have a version for apps (leadboltapps.com). They do banners but also other adtypes - notifications, interstitials which deliver revenue results (eCPMs) that are much better that admod. I got an eCPM of $2.83 in US but I've heard of people that got consistent $6 eCPMs and even higher. They have a SDK plus html methods for integration which means you can get started very easily. You can sign up on their website and get started very quickly.
