I would like to add an Ad banner to my app but I would like to use not the usual one at the bottom or at the top of the screen, rather this one, that I've seen in several apps:
Is there a way to change Ad banner?
With mobile ads there are two key ad types you can use. The ones at the bottom or top of the screen are known as banners where as the one you posted is known as an interstitial. Admob, by Google, is a very nice option for incorporating ads. However, do your research and see what ad network works best for you. The actual implementation of the code and advertisement into Xcode varies from each network’s SDK.

I am currently working on an app for iPhone which discourages smoking while portraying the hazards of smoking. I want to integrate ads in my app. During my research, i have come to know that iAds and Admobs are the two better choices. However, i want to display ads related to smoking (or smoking effects) only. How is it possible with any of these two? Is there any better alternative.

I think we can use content specific ads in any of the ad services for iOS. The ads come at random from the server of either of the ad networks. What you can do is put this question up to google or the specific service providers and see if they can give an appropriate solution. Most probably they would charge you for this .Its better you contact them using the following links
Google Admob Support
Or I can offer you a workaround if you want to specifically show those ads related to smoking . Make your own ads using popups and other methods and then show them in your app. Here you can add your own url and hyperlink to the sites you want .
Hope this helps :)
By doing some more search, i came up with this solution.
https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/search-ads-for-apps/
I am developing an iPhone app and according to my business plan, I need my application to support full screen advertisements. I have checked WWDC, Apple Docs and found that ADInterstitialAd which offers what I am after is only supported on the iPad. So, I am asking about any workarounds or alternatives to display full screen ads in my application.
Any suggestion is very welcome :)
Thanks!
You can show full screen ads by using the SDKs from some of the mobile big ad companies.
1) These are free to download and install,
2) They take about 15 mins to integrate into your app in xCode.
3) They all have instructions on their websites you can follow to set them up
4) You can usually set when and where you can these full screen ads to appear in your app quite easily
5) These work on iPad / iPhone / iPodtouch.
COMPANIES:
www.revmob.com - full screens, banners, popups. Your app will show ads for big iOS games (candy crush etc) and if a user clicks on them you will get paid from revmob.
www.playhaven.com - full screens, more screens and other interesting options. Your app will show ads for big iOS games (candy crush etc) and if a user clicks on them you will get paid from revmob.
www.chartboost.com - As well as doing what the two companies above do, you can also show full screen ads for ANYTHING - you can make up your own artwork and cross promote to your other games.
Hope that helps.

Other ad networks (Millennial Media, AdMob, etc.) offer full screen interstitial ads for smaller devices.
You can take a look at AdMob Interstitials Ads, which provide full screen ads for small devices:
https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/interstitial
The variety of networks that offer interstitial ads is rather big, just a few of most popular: AdMob, Amazon Ads, Applovin, Chartboost, Facebook ads, Tapsense, MoPub, Appnexus and many others. AdMob is quite reliable, i use it through Appodeal plugin for Chrome, this helps to increase the perfomance. At the same time i got access to Chartboost, Applovin, Mopub, Facebook and other networks via Appodeal account. There you can adjust different settings in your dashboard, I suppose it's the easiest way to show different types of ads on all supported devices.
Is this allowed by Apple to put a custom sponsor banner like an advertisement in an application developed by myself ?
Sure, why not? The iAd network only gives you a fast and easy implementation for bannering and such. But there are many other parties who provide mobile bannering or you can even use your own banner system. As long as the content of the banners don't conflict with the App store guidelines (pornography and such)
Certainly. If you include the url to the iTunes page for the app you can even send the user to the advertised app from within your new app.
I think you can.
You can happily use 3rd party services like http://www.flurry.com/ to pull in custom adverts.
You don't have to use Apple's iAd: http://advertising.apple.com/
You could write your own system to show your own specific advert.
I want to show ads in my iPhone application. i can do it using iAds. I need more details regarding this.
My first question is: is iAd mandatory if i have to show advertisement in my iphone application? or i am allowed to use some other alternative to display ads.
will iAds work in earlier versions of iPhone ?
can i test iAds outside USA ?
Apple takes 40% when we use iAds, is there any other alternative? so, we don't have to share 40% of the amount every time ?
I hope, i wrote everything in the way its easy to understand.
Thanks in advance.
Random google search turns up at least 10 other ad networks:
AdMob
Brightroll
Google AdSense for Mobile Applications
Greystripe
InMobi
Jumptap
MdotM
Millennial Media
SAY Media [VideoEgg]
ZestADZ
and at least one meta ad engine that combines all of the others here.
I have no idea which ones are good, though.
I currently have iAds working in my app... but, since I'm looking to support iPhone 3.x as well... is it worth it to implement and set up AdWhirl?
Or is the market share for 3.x vs 4.x not worth much? Anyone have any stats around this?
Thanks!
Note : Now AdWhirl is not working.
now you can use AdMob mediation
Best tutorial of AdMob mediation
AdMob_Mediation_Demo
You can download it and use it in your project
Regardless of whether you support 3.X or not I'd recommend using AdWhirl. You can read my blog post on why but to summarise
1) iAds are currently only available in US and UK. You'll want to pull in another supplier for different countries.
2) iAds only supply a fill rate of maybe 10% if you're lucky. That means 9 out of 10 times you don't get an advert. In these cases you want AdWhirl to go get you another one.
If go iAd only then you'll lose out on a lot of revenue.
I'd recommend using mopub instead of AdWhirl. It has support for a lot of ad networks built in, without having to add more SDKs to your app, and server side there are a lot of switches and knobs you can tweak to fine tune your ad display.
