Creating an AdMob account is straightforward and can be done in a few simple steps. AdMob is Google’s advertising platform for mobile apps, which allows app developers to display ads within their apps and earn revenue.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating an AdMob account:
1. Go to the AdMob Website
- Open your browser and go to the AdMob website.
- Click on Sign Up in the upper right corner.
2. Sign in with Your Google Account
- You need a Google Account to sign up for AdMob. If you don’t already have one, you can create a new Google account by clicking on Create account.
- Once signed in, you’ll be prompted to agree to the AdSense Terms and Conditions if you haven’t already linked an AdSense account.
3. Provide Basic Information
- You will be asked to fill in some basic information about yourself, including your country and time zone. Make sure to select the correct time zone, as this will affect your AdMob reporting.
- Select the currency for your reports and payments. This setting cannot be changed later, so choose carefully.
4. Accept AdMob Terms and Conditions
- Read through the AdMob terms and conditions, and accept them to continue with your setup.
5. Enable or Disable Email Notifications
- AdMob will ask if you’d like to receive email updates, tips, and recommendations. You can enable or disable these based on your preference.
6. Set Up Your First Ad Unit (Optional)
- Once you’ve created your account, you can set up your first ad unit. You can choose the type of ads you want to display in your app, such as banner ads, interstitial ads, or rewarded ads.
7. Link to Firebase (Optional)
- For advanced app analytics, you can link your AdMob account with Firebase, Google’s platform for mobile and web app development.
8. Wait for Approval
- Google may review your account and app before approving your account for AdMob.
Once you’re set up and approved, you’ll have access to your AdMob dashboard, where you can view your app’s ad performance, manage ad units, and track your earnings.
Tips:
- AdSense Account: AdMob earnings are processed through AdSense, so having a linked AdSense account is essential.
- Compliance: Make sure your app complies with Google’s policies to avoid issues with account suspension.
- Testing Ads: Use AdMob’s test ads to ensure proper integration and prevent accidental clicks on live ads during development.
With this setup, your AdMob account will be ready for integration into your app!
