I'm curious on this too. I wasn't even aware it was possible to implement ads into an Android app. How would views be tracked? Is it a pay-per-click system? Passing just over $1k for October is impressive in such a small (but rapidly growing) mobile market.

You can use an ad provider such as AdMob or Mobclix, and integration into your app is pretty straightforward.

Some services also support dynamic allocation between multiple ad networks. This is useful if you want a higher-paying ad network to serve ads most of the time, and defer to other networks if an ad is not available. Mobclix supports this, as well as the AdWhirl library.

Yes. Ads are paid per click. I just implement a library provided by a paying company and it loads banners from their servers.

could you pls specify, which company you are refering to? Would be great to know :-)

Cheers

That ad network could have used all this publicity to get more customers, if you would just share that information.

But I understand it is totally your call.

Just downloaded Virtual Drums, and he uses AdMob, according to the ads themselves.
