So short story... I need a new ad company for iOS... any opinions on the best or should I just go with iAd?


Long story is...

I began Ad Mob in January on two educational apps. In March I added a game. In February or so I was suspended for a month and as I read about it, I acknowledged that it was my fault. When I programmed Ad Mob into the app, I thought I correctly put the developer identifier so ads didn't count against me. I thought that even though ads still showed up, Google would know that it was my device and just skip over the ad being shown. Obviously I was wrong.

Fast forward to today. I was banned and I appealed it...2 hours later...they emailed me again saying still banned. I fixed my problems form before and all I could think of is that schools that use my apps have one iPad account for multiple iPads. For example, the district I teach in has 900 iPads under one iPad account. Due to this, could Google be thinking that it is one iPad?!?! I mean my numbers are low. lifetime since January I have made $64. I started picking up from $2 and $4 a month to $10 last month since school started. My CTR for impressions is lifetime 0.69% and 0.51% this month. I'm completely confused on what grounds Google had for deactivating. Even though I'm mad to lose $64, I have been reading on the Internet about other horrors...so on one side I am happy it is just $64.

With that said.. Does anybody have opinions on current ad companies? I need banner ads for my 2 educational iPad apps and an interstitial ad for my iOS game.

I appreciate the responses.

Not sure. As the computer teacher I'm away from those decisions. Hopefully it'll change when the new delivery system comes out supposedly this month I was told.

As for click fraud, I think I will change it from the bottom of the app to the top of the app, maybe kids hands are accidentally clicking on it.

Thanks again
