I used to think that they were useless until i started working for a start up in the app monetization space. Banner ads don't make a lot of money. With the range of other options, i would never put banner ads in any of my apps again.
A lot of these are perfect for free apps, specially those without in-app purchasing. In the start up i work for, i've seen developers make decent money using these networks. Sometimes it makes me wonder if i should go back to app development. The one i work for is called PaeDae. I've evaluated many options and the only other one that comes close to the same revenue is Chartboost. AdMob is pretty pitiful in comparison.
