My first experience with AdMob were similar. I had just received a Google ION (HTC Magic) and downloaded my first app (Weatherbug). I saw an ad for some sort of quiz and clicked it for fun. It ended up trying to get me to sign up for some sort of unending charge to the phone, which of course never went through since the account was in Google's name. That soured me on AdMob.
To me, annoying the users is not a positive thing. It may result in short term gain but will generate long term mistrust. We, as developers, have to stamp this out. We're the ones who can control this, at least to the degree we can choose not use these abusive ad servers in our apps. This issue brings to light the basic battle of improving user experience vs. short term financial gain. To me, it's all about creating a positive user experience. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
