Admob question regarding ads.show() practice...

Solar2D Monetization (in-app purchases, ads, etc.)
#1

I wonder how often I should call ads.show() because my game has some really quick gameplay. It’s like with Flappy Bird, where you can die a lot and quick… so now I wonder if I should call ads.show() for each new scene start, or if this is “too much” and has some negative impact on ad revenue maybe?

I also wonder if it has some negative effect if I’m developing while using real ads instead of testads!? Are testads even possible with admob v2?

Every help here welcome! :slight_smile:

Banners or Interstitials

  • Banners
    • Calling show repeatedly doesn’t change the ad any faster than its set refresh rate (see your AdMob panel).
    • Contrary to what you might think, showing the same banner ad for a longer time might make you more money.
  • Interstitials
    • Same deal.
    • Here however, showing an interstitial too often could negatively impact player perception of your game.
  • (AdMob) Real Versus test Ads During development - DO NOT test with real ads.  Google will shut down your developer account.
