I've tested a number of different types of campaigns and found that if done right, you can run a successful campaign. I'm promoting a zip submit CPA product. it took a bit of playing with some of the features, and certainly limiting the market, but overall I'm pleasantly surprised by the response I got. I would love to try some of the additional features such as using Admob to generate calls for a call center, etc. I will be keeping a close eye on them and continue testing various formats.

Six hours later, I blew through the entire $50 ad budget at only 3 cents per click (no sales, though). My conclusion is that it might best be used as a means of list building rather than as an actual sales tool. I will be testing this in the future!

I was always wondering how to target people with Admob. How can we build a successful campaign if we can't target demographics? Targeting by "iPhone" or "Blackberry" doesn't really mean anything as a direct response marketer. Is there something I'm missing here? Hmmm… I was always wondering how to target people with Admob.
