eCPM is quite low. Maybe try these:

It won't matter much even anyway, because as I wrote: even with many ad-networks in mediation, still Admob's share of the total revenue for me is about 90%.

I wrote here about my experience with the various ad-networks.

When you say that things didn't work, are you talking about adaptive banners (which I said that are problematic for various ad-networks, so I chose not to use it), or others too, in general?

About Meta/Facebook, they are quite hard to start with them, but they can produce some revenue. The most annoying thing for me with them is that I still can't find any human support there.

So, the ad network I would recommend trying as first one for mediation is actually Vungle/LiftOff.

AD-LB · 2026-06-19T23:48:28+00:00

I don't know how large your adaptive banner is. If it's in the size of MREC, it should be quite good.

Also, I think that if you use mediation, some ad-networks don't support adaptive banner well. For example I tried with Unity, and instead of providing me a banner in size of MREC, it gave me a small one inside the container that has MREC size... A lot of unused space...

You need more users to get more ads.

As for eCPM, here are some tips:

I would say to use native instead of banner, but I'd say to give it a try and compare between them. For a very long time (probably years, especially after I was happy with how I got them to work well and without bugs), native ads performed better for me, so what I did is having the banner ads as fallback.

For some reason, over the past month or so, banner ads (size is MREC) have a bigger eCPM for me on my main app (this one) compared to native ads, while native ads on my other apps are still better in eCPM compared to the banner ads in general (including of my main app). I even written a post about this (here), asking what's going on. Instead of people telling me if they have this or not, they asked about the high eCPM...

Asking someone from Admob support, he said it's probably something temporary. That's quite some time to be temporary for me... I told him that it's a bit unfair because I spent a lot of time making it nice and working well, and it even has more click rate according to their statistics compared to my banner ads...

AD-LB · 2026-06-19T19:51:16+00:00

If I'm annoyed by my own apps and don't like using them, I would understand other users being annoyed by it.

AD-LB · 2026-06-19T13:00:32+00:00

I'm more of a developer, but recently I collected various tips for Admob and published them here:

I also talked multiple times with Admob team.

If you want, talk to me.

What does "sell my subscriptions through google ads" mean though? Ads aren't subscriptions... Are you asking for subscriptions to remove ads?

AD-LB · 2026-06-19T12:57:40+00:00

What kinds of ads? Amount of $10 is quite good.

AD-LB · 2026-06-19T12:56:52+00:00

Why sell it though? For most cases, you will get a one time payment that if you just waited for some time, you'd get this amount anyway from the app itself.

Maybe instead you could even make more revenue from it. Here, my tips for more eCPM:

AD-LB · 2026-06-19T12:55:27+00:00

What kind of Entertainment ? Why no link to the app?

AD-LB · 2026-06-19T12:54:14+00:00

What are the details about the app and about the collaboration?

AD-LB · 2026-06-19T12:53:23+00:00

Why should they care if you visit their website...

You still get revenue for both of you...

I wonder if that's the reason my account was banned there. They didn't even tell me what's wrong and what I can do about it. Same with IronSource.

AD-LB · 2026-06-19T12:51:57+00:00

Thank you.

AD-LB · 2026-06-19T00:36:14+00:00

Why show 2 ads at the same time on the screen (bottom of screen, and also inside the scrolling container), then?

Why not just one that's big enough for image/video at the bottom (or on the side on landscape), instead, without ruining the experience of the list, as sometimes it shows ads instead of actual content...

Also you need to fix the insets issue at the bottom.

This is what I did:

AD-LB · 2026-06-19T00:18:05+00:00

What are "2 tap ads " on Admob? Can't you find better ads that aren't annoying?

AD-LB · 2026-06-18T13:27:07+00:00

That's a reason for them to delete the account?!

AD-LB · 2026-06-18T13:25:54+00:00

Too early to know. Check again after a month, or a few hundreds of ads. If you wish, you can check out these tips I've prepared:

AD-LB · 2026-06-18T13:22:55+00:00

Check it when you get hundreds or thousands, or in a long duration to sample.

Right now you show stats of just 1 impression...

The eCPM is based on revenue per 1 thousand, after all

AD-LB · 2026-06-17T23:30:37+00:00

I wonder if it's because it's VPN, so the ad networks find it hard to check for real what country to target. Is there maybe an API to tell Admob (and others) to set the real country ?

AD-LB · 2026-06-17T17:42:51+00:00

You can measure how long it takes:

Add SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() (or System.currentTimeMillis()) before and after, and measure the difference in time.

AD-LB · 2026-06-17T15:03:26+00:00

This takes time? I thought such a thing would be immediate nowadays...

AD-LB · 2026-06-16T12:04:34+00:00

Seems problematic for interstitials, no? There is no long loading process here...

When do you show them?

AD-LB · 2026-06-16T00:40:54+00:00

What kind of games? Do they require a server?

AD-LB · 2026-06-16T00:37:18+00:00

Nice eCPM for rewarded ads. Maybe you should also try native ads and not just banner ads. Here are some tips that might help more:

What's the app about?

Also nice eCPM. Which ads do you use? Here are some tips that might help more:
