AdMob and J2ME (Read 1729 times)

So far I've had the impression that AdMob (now owned by Google) was only for iPhone and Android (and similar) devices, when talking ads in apps. At least I was sure we couldn't use the AdMob system for J2ME projects. But when reading their WIKI, it looks like I'm wrong about that.
http://developer.admob.com/wiki/Client
"Publishers can easily adapt AdMob's core ad request code for serving ads into mobile clients or other non-web environments such as J2ME or BREW"
That's interesting. But does anyone have any experience with this?

Are you telling me, that advertisers get to decide which platforms they want to advertise on? And that they'll likely not have selected J2ME in the long list of possible platforms? That sounds strange to me.

same goes with Greystripe these days.. there are more advertisers interested in the iPhone audience, and not so much the java-audience..

I didn't think advertisers could choose where their ads would be displayed like that.
I mean, if we compare with normal web ads, I believe it's up to Google to pick the sites that are likely to be visited by people in the target group of the ad? Isn't that the procedure?
I'd be surprised if most advertisers even knew the difference between the various phone models. You can argue of course, that ads for e.g. iPhone apps shouldn't be displayed on an Android device or J2ME device. And I do believe they'll be filtered, but by AdMob, not the advertiser.
Can anyone who's advertising confirm that you actually do choose which platforms you want to have your ads displayed on?
Otherwise I'd think you can pull ads from whatever platform you want that's capable of pulling the ads.

I see your point, but I'm pretty sure it's ok to just select "Mobile Web" for J2ME apps.

If you can control geographic region, language, keywords, why not target medium/platform too? I don't know about this specific case, but I can think of reasons why an advertiser might want to have fine-grained control over where the ad is shown. Particularly if it's cost per impression, but also otherwise.
(BTW, "Call of Duty 2 Cracked"! ;)

Did you end up using AdFonic for your app? I've been looking at various ad networks that provide ads for J2ME apps and I'd be interested in your experience with these folks.

I didn't have an app ready, and still haven't made any new stuff since then. So I don't have any experience with them yet, sorry.
