Jake, I can only speak for myself, I don't know how other developers handle this.

Sometimes, they do this automatically. 4) My app is a widget that runs all the time plus an activity that the > user may or may not wish to view in order to see some extra > information.

Ad/Leads seems really interesting for a game because a full screen ad can be shown in between levels. Their site is pretty scarce on information for developers (at least from a quick browsing.) This might be a good option for you since that activity is called every so often and the users who want that functionality shouldn't mind sitting through some ads to reach it. > Thanks. > > ...Jake > > > >>>>> "MM" == Miguel Morales <therevolti...@gmail.com> writes: > > MM> I use admob and mobclix.
