AdMob Launches Mobile Advertising Unit for Apple iPhone and Signs 15 Publishers to Serve iPhone Specific Ads: Advertisers Can Now Reach iPhone User
SAN MATEO, Calif. (BusinessWire EON) August 14, 2007 -- AdMob's ad servers will now recognize iPhone users and serve iPhone-specific advertisements. The new unit leverages the core technologies available for the iPhone, including mapping technology for location-based advertisers.
AdMob developed the new ad unit after fielding requests from its advertiser communities looking to reach early adopter audiences. Equally interested was AdMob's publisher community who experienced increased traffic from iPhone users and urged AdMob to develop an ad specifically for the device.
"What we built takes advantage of the targeting capabilities of our platform and the unique capabilities of the iPhone to deliver rich, mobile-specific advertisements. This new user functionality - from an advertisement - is exactly what mobility is all about," states AdMob CEO Omar Hamoui.
The iPhone ads leverage AdMob's targeting capabilities, enabling advertisers to reach users based on their behavior and demographics. Initial data show users hitting typical mobile sites, including weather, news and sports. Entertainment sites are particularly popular, offering games, virtual pets and even haiku.
