Google Adsense For Mobile Surprising In Just 24 Hours

Well, not something I planned on blogging about today but when I first installed the WPTouch Wordpress plug-in last night it was more for usability for mobile users than it was about monetization. When i configured the mobile plug-in there was a place that you could simply paste your Google Adsense publisher code to enable mobile Adsense. I did this not expecting much.

Well, this morning I woke up and did my morning check on stats and noticed that I had a few bucks from the mobile ads from my iPhone news aggregation site. I checked back a little bit ago and sure enough had another couple bucks. Not bad for a change that took me less than 2 minutes time.

What I think is really working in my favor here is that there is only one mobile ad being shown per pageview which means it is normally the highest CPC advertiser which in theory means the largest payout to me the publisher.

Moral to the story, if you are not using Google Adsense for Mobile along with a mobile Wordpress plug-in you may want to give it a shot. It may be a fluke (it has not been 24 hours yet) but not a bad start.
