We’re excited to announce that we have partnered with Google to allow its new AdSense for Games ads to appear in your MochiAds games when they are played outside of the US.

AdSense for Games will be added to the suite of ad networks we partner with as part of our overall commitment to bringing you the best quality of advertisers. What does this mean for you as a game developer and MochiAds community member? More high-quality video ads to help further monetize your international traffic! And you don’t have to do anything to sign up; as long as your games have MochiAds in them, Google video ads will also automatically appear to users playing your game. Yipee!

The Adsense ads will start showing up as pre-game, inter-level and click away ad placements. So now you get the best of both worlds: MochiAds will continue to run in your games as usual, and Google ads will help chip in some ads, too. We will continuously look at the ads from Adsense, as well as all of our other partners and our own direct sales team, and select the ones that will make you the most money.

So just sit back, relax, and watch your games make more money off of their international traffic. Oh yeah – and keep making awesome games! ☺

FAQs

Sweet! Do I have to do anything to enable the Google ads in my games?
Nope. You’re all set as long as you have MochiAds running in your games. Same code, more ads!

What types of Google ads will show up in my games?
This is a new initiative, so we’ll be testing a variety of ad types from video ads to image ads and maybe even some text ads. As we make more progress with the relationship, we’ll get a better sense of what works best in your games.

Where in my games will these ads run?
They can run anywhere that video ads can run. They will not, however, run in your Peel Away (leaderboard) ads.

Will Google ads show up in my US traffic?
Right now, Google ads will only show in your non-US (i.e., international) traffic, in the countries that AdSense for Games is present. For your US traffic, MochiAds will run as usual.

Will MochiAds run less often in my games?
Nope. MochiAds will still run as usual. The AdSense ads will supplement them for your international traffic.
