Best Mobile Advertising Networks 2014

AdMob

AdMobAdMob is a mobile application monetization network acquired by Google in 2010. Mobile app developers can log in to AdMob and create text or image ads for display in their mobile application in much the same way a Web publisher would create a new ad unit for a website or blog. Color combinations, size, and other such options are all customizable.

Once the ad unit has been created, the developer is provided with an SDK file that can be incorporated into the app. The ad units will work on Android, iOS, and Windows.
