You can select your site's primary
language during the application
process. If you're approved, AdSense
will serve relevant ads to your pages
in the appropriate language, even if
your site contains multiple supported
languages.

Receiving Non English Facebook Native Ads With MoPub

Is there a way to control the location of ads requested via the Facebook Monetization center as does not seem to be a such options via MoPub?
Expected
English speaking native ads showing with MoPub's Facebook Native Ads integration passing the correct Location data.
Observed
Non English ads showing despite a San Francisco Lat/Long Location object being passed to MoPub.
Configuration
I am receiving native ads that are not in English and appear to be targeted for a different region. I've implemented the moPubAdapter.loadAds(...) method as described in the MoPub documentation for the the RequestParameters.
According to a sample request from the MoPub logs in Android Studio the correct lat/lng is being used: 37.78378378378378-122.44880571614736 which are the coordinates for San Francisco where I currently am. Also, it is not just one or two ads or a specific region. Ads are showing in Spanish, French, Thai, etc.
French Ad
Spanish Ad
Due to MoPub's response below it seems that there must be a way to target monetization placements via Facebook's dashboard...
MoPub's response
When reviewing your account, we observed that you don't have Marketplace enabled and all your impressions seem to served through networks. Note we can't influence nor control any creative served through networks, since these creatives are served by the network SDKs.
On a different note, there is no way to guarantee that an english speaking user will only see english ads. If an advertiser purchases that impression opportunity, they have the option of sending the non-english creative.
When it comes to Marketplace, one possibility to influence the language of your ads, is by passing the language information to DSPs through Keywords. You can find more information here: https://developers.mopub.com/docs/marketplace/openrtb/#3211-object-device
It is also worth to highlight that the main language in which the device is set up is will be the prevalent one when it comes to the language for the ads, but in this case, since it was your own device, we assume it is English.
Facebook Documentation
Set CPM Targets describes how to set CPM targets based on location which could help filter, but isn't directly enabling or disabling specific geos.
Also, it is unclear if setting CPMs in Facebook is necessary if they are already defined for an Ad Unit in MoPub.
ie: Facebook CPM set to $3 and MoPub CPM set to $5. Will this have a waterfall effect, first filtering out all CPMs on Facebook that are less than $3, then MoPub will filter out everything less than $5?

Adsense for web apps

Google has Adsense and Admob
Adsense is thought for websites that have a lot of text and content (eg. blogs)
Admob is for mobile apps
But what about web apps?
I have made several free-to-use web apps that are used daily because they help people do things (eg. convert something from one format to another) but they have no paragraphs and little text. Sometimes they are just a form input asking for a file and then the web app returns an output file.
How can I put adsense in these web apps?
I tried to apply for the Adsense program with my homepage but it got rejected. My homepage has a link to each of these web apps and a little description (eg. "A web app for converting XML to PDF", etc)
The rejection email says:
We did not approve your application for the reasons listed below.
Issues:
Insufficient content:
To be approved for AdSense and show
relevant ads on your site, your pages need to have enough text on them
for our specialists to review and for our crawler to be able to
determine what your pages are about.
So... as I see it: To be able to use adsense I will need to create a .com or .net (ie: a first level domain, as needed by Adsense) and fill it with "enough text" and "content".
But what content though? Should I invent content? should I write about my cat?
Writing is not my business. I do web apps.
Google thought on writers and provided Adsense for them.
Google also thought on mobile developers and provided Admob for them.
How should I proceed?
As you commented adsense requires you to publish "enough" content, this is quite subjective because it doesn't say how much is enough for them. I would recommend you to try carbon, I have used it to monetize my webapps and I have not had any problems.

google adsense - non-english website

Good day all.
I created a website which has 90% non-english contents/text (Urdu-Pakistan). Is my website eligible for Google Adsense? Website (www.urdutweet.com) URLs are english like http://www.urdutweet.com/all-tweets/
In Google Analytics I set my Target Country to Pakistan, do I need to set hreflang attribute in links? Do I have to wait for specific time period before apply like few months? Please guide me for getting Google Adsense approved status. Thanks
AdSense supports publishers in several different languages. But Urdu is not among them

Please also be aware that placing the AdSense code on pages with content primarily in an unsupported language is not permitted by the AdSense program policies.

Can I link to specific pages on my website from a facebook game?

I am developing an educational game on Facebook (Facebook Canvas App) and I would like the game to include external links to my website where the players can read more about specific educational topics. Is it true that Facebook prohibits including external links in the game?
Thank you!
External links are perfectly acceptable. An example of this is integrated ads. The ads topic is covered in multiple sections of the Facebook for Developers - Platform Policy, especially section 8. In that section, it even mentions the part about promotions, contests, sweepstakes, etc. I have participated in some of those, and all of them have linked externally for additional entries.
In section 1.5, it states:
In addition, don't require people to log into your app in order to access third party apps or sites that are not used in connection with the experience your app provides.
This alone implies that you can use sites that are used in connection with the experience your app provides.
Section 4.8 states:
Don’t build an app whose primary purpose is to redirect people off of Facebook.
If you are using the app to educate, and you are providing optional external information, then I believe your use does not violate this section.
As I do not know the design of your particular app, I can't suggest how to make the external information appear to be more integrated. If you are already providing a decent amount of detail within the app, a "Read More" (or similar) function taking them to external site would seem acceptable, especially if the user knows they are being directed away from your app to an external site.
When in doubt, you can discuss the issue with members of the Facebook Developers Group. Some of them have been doing it quite a while and probably know even more.
