As request for Admob support for long time, is Ansc. will not do support in future?
can any staff of Ansc. answer me? [import]uid: 22631 topic_id: 26047 reply_id: 326047[/import]
I’m very afraid that Ansca has some kind of contract with inneractive and the other add networks to avoid this.
I hope I’m mistaking. But I can’t find any other reason to not include this long awaited feature.

in some situations we heard “we partnered with …” - so I think, it is as breathe told - one can imagine, what the deal is - for a limited time the Corona users get no new Ad network SDK integrated. I think iAd will also never come up as long as partnerships are on the run.
App users await a price free app if it is bundled with ads.
Should we await a price free SDK if it is bundled with partnership ads?
We heard some strange reasons for “no native 3p plugins” - I know one good reason: this would make all the partnerships absurd…
We will see what the future brings… [import]uid: 70114 topic_id: 26047 reply_id: 105469[/import]
Raymond, breathe, Sven,
Thanks for posting this - we are very aware of the requests for Admob. To be clear - our current partnerships do not prevent us in any way from adding any other monetization options (including Admob). It is just a matter of where Admob sits in terms of priorities vs a lot of other features.
We are constantly evaluating other monetization options and are trying to provide the best combination. Please be aware that most ad networks (including Admob and iAds) suffer from either low CPMs, low fill rate, or often both.
But thanks again - we are incorporating this feedback into our planning.

David,
with all due respect but I think there is quite some consensus among the corona developers that Ansca doesn’t set the priorities in favor of the developers. (remember:we are your customers!)
For example: Nowbody is waiting for an Inneractive promo where you can win a kindle. What we do want is an ad mediator that pays a decent amount for displaying there ads! And if I look at the forum, that’s not the case with Inneractive!
Commonly heard is also that Ansca’s partnerships, like with Inneractive, are lucrative for Ansca themselves but not for your customers, we the developers! . Ansca is earning on our apps, getting our money. (don’t know if it’s true but it appears so)
Your customers are screaming for 1-2 years now that they want admob & iAds !
it’s indeed having the right priorities and if you REALLY look what your customers want on the forum, IMHO the consensus is that Ansca has the wrong priorities (= not in favor of their customers)
If I see something like ‘Ansca is proud to announce a new partnership…’ my first thought is…’ where’s the catch? ’
A lot of developers really like corona, including myself (I’m paying for it 
) but keep in mind that the competition is steaming up!

Ivke pretty much sums things up the way I feel about things right now with Ansca. Don’t get me wrong there are a lot of things I do like about the Corona SDK. And I will renew my subscription however the lack of being able to use other ad providers or services is a shame. I won’t name any names but Corona SDK competition is starting to fill in the gaps of the features developers like myself are looking for. No matter how ugly it sounds it’s the truth. [import]uid: 38820 topic_id: 26047 reply_id: 105532[/import]
iAds.
Yep, I know.
I enjoy Corona sdk. Since I was a coding noob (still am) back in June 2011, never coded anything before bla bla bla (I sound like a broken record but its true). Those other platforms, yes you can get iad, google ads etc etc. However, you will have to go through hurdles to learn the framework, even if it is in lua (its all the back end crap that will slow you down just getting up and running).
I could say that yea, having the option of iAd, admob would be nice. But then I think about the effort for Ansca to put it in…
Direction of effort:
So after that little bit of information let me say why I am a honey badger about this stuff. (if you don’t know about the honey badger here watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fbVxoSIrYg )
I’d rather them improve the core engine, you know things like box2d, bugs etc so that the engine is solid. I’d rather have an engine that works vs having the entire spectrum of ads at my fingertips. What good is all these ads if you have problems like a physics object passing through another, essentially killing the phun in your game (that’s right pun intended), or weird crashing issues, etc?
When all that is sorted out, THEN I would like all that iAd, Admob options.

i do need support ADMOB…seriously…

better than “no choice”…
thanks!! [import]uid: 25057 topic_id: 26047 reply_id: 105827[/import]
Raymond, coolseal - we don’t have a date right now for Admob or iAds. As mentioned before, it is something that we want to get to, but has to be weighed against other features and priorities. We do care about our developers - and that is why we are trying to come up with the best combination of features (across the whole platform, not just monetization).
We will soon have a more public roadmap and that will give some sense of where things sit.
One thing to keep in mind - CPMs and fill rates across different ad networks vary very widely (based on geography, audience type, audience size, app type, etc. etc.). It is very hard to compare them, especially just based on anecdotal data. Just as you hear that sometimes, say, Admob has good numbers, there are many other examples where they are bad. We think inneractive and Inmobi provide very good monetization options. But we are absolutely open to other options and will pursue them if we think there are better ones. [import]uid: 10668 topic_id: 26047 reply_id: 106081[/import]
With all respect I think you`re not being true and also I think you probably do not NEED anything ($$$) from any of the actual Corona partners Ads Providers (I mean: you have your beautiful job at Ansca and do not depend on developing/selling apps across appstores - and not to make a living but just to SURVIVE)!
BECAUSE if you did, SURELY you could be speaking “other language” than this one you said above for us, the developers that Ansca claims to takes care of. If you want PROOF of what am saying to you and even many others (in this same post and many many others) I am completely able and do not care about showing all my stats for Inneractive here by as many “screenshots” as you may need to see how it goes! And still being very honest with you, I do not care about this subject of “geography, audience type, audience size, app type, etc.” because what it looks like now is that one BIG part of your developers are not happy with it anyway (EVEN worlwide).
So, please, do not let us developers “waiting and waiting”…just tell YES or NOT and if so, the true WHY about the answer chosen by Asnca.
I pray everyday for my 12K+ apps downloadeds out there make the money necessary to buy a BURGER, AT LEAST boss! Is it really very difficult for you to “hear”/“see”? 
I really thank you, your time and better yet, your human side as well to comprehend this situation at all.

is the management of Ansc. can’t hearing our request for this is long long time ago? [import]uid: 22631 topic_id: 26047 reply_id: 106110[/import]
+1 support Admob [import]uid: 143797 topic_id: 26047 reply_id: 111802[/import]
Have you guys tried using lunarads to implement admob?
[import]uid: 93133 topic_id: 26047 reply_id: 111803[/import]
I just try lunarads.
it is really poor performance.
I set the refresh rate 30 seconds using inneractive and Admob.
modify (change id and publish id to my app) and build the sample on ipad .
here are the result that I try.
- wait for 30 mins , 60 requests with zero fill rate , the app just show nothing with activity indicator …
- force close app and start again and again. set refresh rate 0 (never refresh) . sometime it show up a banner … and one time crash to make ipad reboot
3.wait for 30 mins again , still the same with result 1…but sometime , it would show a loading screen then lunch browser take me to leadbolt ads website. ( I just let my ipad on desktop without touch anything)
it almost make me crazy.

i thinking as being independent apps developer, i would like a sizeable ads agent. i try so many, but i can’t find out which can let me earning more than Admob…
but Corona’s Executive hidden from talking this, no…reject and no…action…
i thinking it everyone should help by ourself, have a backup plan to xcode… [import]uid: 22631 topic_id: 26047 reply_id: 111848[/import]
