Reports are coming that Admob’s iPhone ad business is growing tremendously due to the excellent sales of iPhone and iPod touch around the world.
Some figures from CNN Money :
Last month, the company served up 1.2 billion ads worldwide to Apple (AAPL) iPhone and iPod touch devices, or about 18% of its 6.56 billion total ad requests. In Feb. 2008, it served up about 33 million ads to iPhones, or about 1.3% of its 2.56 billion total ad requests.
So while AdMob’s overall business has more than doubled year-over-year, its iPhone business has grown much, much faster.
You must have seen those in app mobile ads in mostly free or lite version’s of some apps. This proves that iPhone/iPod Touch advertising is going to be the next big thing as the sales of both the devices grow with each day. So, what it stores for iPhone owners, well if you are not one of people who get annoyed with ads then its will be fine and one more way to see some products info.
But it should surely be helpful to iPhone app developers who are releasing their apps for free and in app advertising will surely generate revenue for them and if people are using the app for free, they will always adjust with the ads.
