$200/hour from admob?

[katte]

Just came across this article today and was astonished at the $200/hour ad-generated revenue that this developer claims to be getting from admob. Has any developer here tried admob and can attest to this being even possible?

I saw that too. it's the sound grenade app (was #1). One thing to note is the app is designed oddly, in that one part of the app, the sound is activated and you can't turn it off easily. Except the ad looks like it has a button that might go to options. So you instinctively hit it. I did.

So, I believe a lot of that ad revenue (if true) is generated from unintentional clicks. That's my take on it.

Ah, thanks for explaining. I wouldn't have figured it out since I don't even own the app.

I have AdMob installed in my Bop-It! Lite app. It's been out now since 1/29/2009. Today, 23 days later I've made a grand total of $56.29. So, I'm not buying that claim.

An extensive study has been done on ad revenue. A summary can be seen here.

I've made $100 in 4 months so $200/hour does sound unrealistic

if the app is top 1,it may be true,i think

$200/hour doesn't seem to be correct,Maybe like $25/hour seems to be correct!
Unless you made the ad to look like you need to click it, then it would be true
