“Since we launched the AdMob marketplace eight months ago, the growth has been fantastic. With this kind of volume, and with global coverage, mobile advertising is clearly open for business.” said CEO and Founder Omar Hamoui.

The AdMob Marketplace offers advertisers access to the world’s largest network of mobile Web inventory, a powerful set of targeting tools, and real-time metrics and reporting. AdMob allows advertisers to run ads across a comprehensive set of mobile content channels, including communities, entertainment, news, and portals.
