AdMod ID's

General (non-technical) Marketing and Monetization
#1

I just signed up for Admob and have my app ready. I’m confused on implementing it in my app with Corona. I looked at the documentation and settled with the fact that the following is required…
 

settings = { plugins = { -- key is the name passed to Lua's 'require()' ["CoronaProvider.ads.admob"] = { -- required publisherId = "com.coronalabs", }, }, }

1st question, if I can’t build with my own publisher ID (I get an error), how will I get paid?

Secondly,
 

local ads = require "ads" ads.init( "admob", appID, adListener )

appID - I don’t see an appID on AdMob, so is that just your normal com.app.sig?

I’m just really confused, it seems like Corona would get my ad revenue if I can’t build the package AdMob had me download. Any clarification on that, and implementing it in my app would be awesome.

The publisherId in the build.settings must be “com.coronalabs”.  Do not change it.  This is not your AdMob publisher ID.  That is what the AppID in the ads.init() call is for.  Pass your publisher ID there instead.

You get a publisher ID for your app by logging in to admob.com and adding a new app under the “Sites & Apps” tab.
