I’m happy to say I was able to implement an admob banner in my app! But I’m checking the monetization tab on admob’s site but it still says 0 impressions. I want to see if everything is working properly with the impression count, but when will it show up in admob? I was expecting it to be almost instantaneous but it still shows 0 impressions after an hour.
Thanks!
Be careful!
If you are showing real ads, do not click on them. You may cause Google to become suspicious about illegal clicks. Google is known to ban and suspend without warning any accounts they think are violating their TOS and it can be very difficult to reverse their decision.
If you are showing test-ads, then you can click as many times as you like without having to worry. However I don’t think that those clicks show up in your dashboard. Test ads are clearly marked as such. Normally just a simple graphic with AdMob branding and some text.
You usually don’t have to worry about checking clicks. If ads are showing, and you don’t see any errors in your logs, AdMob is working and any clicks will register. The clicks do not register immediately. You may have to wait up to 12-24 hours before you see any meaningful data.
Check this first:
ads.show("banner", { x = 10, y = 10, testMode = true })
testMode variable set to true to test your ads before you submit your app to google play.
You cannot click on banner on real mode, google is able to block your account for ads if you keep doing that.
Thanks for the heads up guys! Luckily I never clicked the banner, so all is good. I’ll also implement that testMode statement.
