Google, an internet giant, which is nearly in every field related to Web, has finally taken control of AdMob; AdMob is a mobile advertising platform. The acquisition deals was announced by Google six months before only, but it was delayed because of Federal Trade Commission (FTC). But now FTC has approved the deal so there is no hurdle in Google’s path to utilise AdMob.

Google can easily utilize it against Apple to gain more popularity and market share as iPhone also released iAds, which is a direct competitor to Google and AdMob. Seems Google is all ready to beat them as it is planning to quickly appoint a new integration team and integrate AdMob technology to their advertising services like Adsense, AdWords to gain an upper edge in mobile advertising.

Just as Google dominates Web advertising through AdSense and AdWords it has similar plans to dominate mobile advertising in coming two-three years, it will be clear who will be the leader in mobile advertising Google or Apple?

 What do you think about it?

Infolinks is that text advertising company, which really worked for me. It was the first advertising company, which paid me a good amount of money, after Adbrite. Before, signing up for it I gave a try to Kontera text advertising too, but after one month I was really pissed off, it sucks big time. The worst thing about Kontera was if you make less than $5 a month they will take your money, but Infolinks was not like that. It has all qualities that a good ad network should have, but the thing of reaching minimum threshold of amount $100 I didn’t like (who likes to wait to reach 100$ ).

Infolinks notice

Today when I signed in my Gmail account got an email by Infolinks that they have reduced the minimum amount to checkout from 100$ to 50$ for all publisher using Payoneer or Paypal. But they due to the high processing fees involved with Bank wires and regular ACH – the payment threshold for payments via Bank Wire or regular ACH will be increased to $400 for sometime. I think it is good for all publishers having Payapal account as now they can easily checkout their money.

Infolinks has announced some other good news too you can learn more about them from here.

Make your Process Simple – The process you want your users to complete should be as simple as possible. Most of the visitors don’t complete the action before of its complexity and leave it in middle. You should try to provide the shortest and simplest path for your users so that they can complete the action easily.
