3 Reasons to Create New Ads Today
If you haven't created new ads in while, we have three compelling reasons you should visit http://www.admob.com/s/my_ads/create_ad and create new ads today:
1) We've streamlined the ad creation process so you can easily create ad copy, place your bid, choose targeting, and review the details all on one page. Learn more about the streamlined ad creation process here:
http://blog.admob.com/2008/05/14/streamlined-ad-creation-process/
2) Keeping ad copy fresh positively impacts performance because users are more likely to click on ads they haven't seen before. Getting in the habit of creating new ads on a regular basis will lead to enhanced performance in the near and long term.
3) Add an image to your text link ad for increased performance. In the new ad creation process, you'll see that you have the option to upload images to be served along with your text link ads. Enhancing your ad with an image is a great way to communicate your message and typically results in increased user engagement. AdMob optimizes ad performance by displaying either your text link ad or the image with the text link ad depending on predicted performance, device constraints, and publisher preferences.
