Loading ...Google Launches AdSense for Mobile
There are about 6.6 billion people in the world and about half that many mobile phone subscriptions. Better still, ad blocking on mobile handsets isn’t an issue. At least not yet.
Publishers of Web sites designed for viewing on mobile phones now have the option to make some money through Google (GOOG)’s AdSense program.
Google on Tuesday announced the availability of AdSense for Mobile, its service for placing contextual ads with mobile Web content.
“We’ve just launched AdSense for Mobile, which can help you expand your online content to new platforms,” said Alex Kenin, AdSense product marketing manager, in a blog post. “If you have a Web site optimized for mobile browsers, or are interested in creating one, you can start monetizing your mobile site by accessing a growing number of our mobile advertisers.”
AdSense for Mobile complements Google’s original AdSense service, which places ads on participating publishers’ sites that correspond to the publishers’ content. Both versions of AdSense run on Google’s auction model and AdSense publishers earning money based on the number of ads clicked on by viewers.
Google is offering AdSense for Mobile in 13 countries: England, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Russia, Netherlands, Australia, India, China, and Japan (in a few weeks).
