This naughty admob. How to make peace with the corporation of good

Many of the developers of mobile applications and sites using adMob have seen this unpleasant message:



For account activity violations. For example, it can be found that there is a rule of thumb, that is, surf, autosurf, and click-exchange programs, or any any deceptive software. If you have any questions, we can take it.



I set out my reaction to this event in a habr article . I am pleased to inform you how I managed to return the google location.





Swindlers from Smaato



Having lost 500 dollars earned on AdMob advertising, I, on the advice of the publisher, went to another advertising platform. Some Smaato. Smaato solemnly promised higher advertising revenue than others. Fortunately, they lied. The income was three times less, and as soon as the amount of the fee overcame the $ 100 bar, Smaato sent me a letter that looked like a message from Google. The meaning of the letter was reduced to the fact that I was a crook and did not see me money.

I quickly realized that it’s better to go back to Google and follow a couple of rules of thumb.



As for Smaato, during the last months they sent 2 letters with sweet promises, and I with a feeling of deep satisfaction pressed the button This is spam . Somewhat pity wasted on the inclusion of the Smaato SDK rogue application in code 20.



Return of the prodigal son



To return to google, I started a new account. Check email left the same.



Prepared to re-do in adMob 20 advertising companies and reconfigure 20 applications.



What was my surprise when logging into adMob from a new account, I found all 20 of my old applications on it. Do not do anything! At first I was afraid that the big brother was watching me, and then I decided - let him watch. At least I'm interested in someone. But seriously, most likely the solution lies in the control email.



I uncommented the lines in the applications.



- (NSString *)adWhirlApplicationKey { return@"240b38ce4d984d0db50452115d55faac"; } 




and began to frantically follow income figures and numbers under the mysterious abbreviations eCPM and RPM. See the picture below.

Circled green numbers should not exceed 2-3 dollars. The normal value for the active application is 0.3 - 0.5 $. An overestimated number of eCpm can mean that ad views are inhuman and smell like cheat. The big danger lies in new applications. With a small number of impressions, when testing it is possible to get a very large RPM. This causes the google machine to close an account. Although the income from the application was estimated at 4 cents, my previous account was closed forever.

Below is an example, follow the numbers circled in red marker.

Such an application should be immediately disconnected from adMob.



You can turn it on some time later, when the number of downloaded copies exceeds 100.



Conclusion



Perhaps my actions are contrived, but the money from the new adMob account now comes monthly.
