Hi, This is actually a good topic, good idea bringing it up.
Just my two cents as usual : It is very hard to make real money out of ads in your app. The reason is quite simple, for every 1000 impressions you can earn from $0.75 to $1 on average. So you need 1 millions views per month on your app to make $1 000 that's roughly 33 000 ads impression per day. Compare that with the number of downloads or use(flurry ?) of your app and it'll give you a good idea of what to expect. Now money is money, and even if you get a fraction of that, it's a always nice. But you have to think how it can put off some of your base users. Anyway to answer your original questions : I use AdMob which has a very very low cpm and I am going to look into greystripes which offers full screen ads. Using different ad providers in your app, if it's done with care and it doesn't spoil your design, I would say go for it. I'm actually working on a webservice(for my use only sorry) to be able to configure the display of ads or not and their type to do just that. I put my ads only on menus, not during gameplay. And I try to make it as non-obstrusive as possible. I saw a lot of apps who purposedly put the add very close to buttons to try to get the miss-clicks, i'm sure it is efficient in terms of money, just very bad in terms of usability and user retention.
