There has been a great deal written about the use of Smartphones to consume data services. Between the iPhone, RIM, Nokia N Series, Palm and Windows devices there are more models of Smartphones in the market than ever before. For the February report, AdMob created a classification for Smartphones and began tracking the traffic share we can attribute to these devices. We also show the Smartphone manufacturer share of requests worldwide and for each of our top markets. We believe this provides a good way to track the share of Smartphones by market and gain insight into the leading Smartphone manufacturers. In future we plan to include Smartphone operating system data as well.
Noteworthy for March
* Network impressions increased 10.0% (2,553,018,899 for March vs. 2,321,477,067 for February).
* Requests increased 11.8% (2,865,167,969 for March vs. 2,562,527,510 for February).
* 24.5% of ad requests in our network worldwide were from Smartphones.
* US requests grew 13.8% March over February (short month) to outpace network growth.
* The RAZR V3 took the top device spot in the US and the Nokia N70 moved into the top spot in India. The top devices remained the same in South
Africa (Motorola v360) UK (SonyEricsson K800i) and Indonesia (Nokia 6600).
* Worldwide fill rates were 89.0% in March. This was the result of increased use of geographic targeting from advertisers in March.

adsense for mobile released
Google is launching AdSense for Mobile, which will allow marketers to place contextual ads on sites viewed via mobile devices. The company has been running mobile ads through its auction-based AdWords program since mid-2006. Now it will be automatically converting AdWords ads to text ads that will appear when someone accesses a participating Web site on a mobile device. The Web sites must be optimized for mobile browsers first.
Basically, the system reviews the content on the site and delivers text ads that are relevant; the publisher earns money every time an ad is clicked on. AdSense for Mobile will be available in the U.S., England, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Russia, The Netherlands, Australia, India, China and Japan. Not in Canada yet.
