a new view

As I'm writing up this post, our impression counter on our home page just ticked past 6 billion. It's a difficult number to wrap your head around. I did some some quick (read: rough) calculations: if you stacked up 6 billion iPhones end-to-end, you could reach the moon and back! That's quite an amazing number and with it comes an amazing amount of data.



The best way to understand data is to visualize it. So today, we are proud to release our AdMob AdMonitor. It's a unique live view into the AdMob network as a whole. I think it will help our publishers and advertisers understand how powerful and global the AdMob network truly is. If you dare, slide the Ad Sampling Rate to the 'Fastest' setting and see what it's like to drink from the fire hose as they say!
