Thomas Schulz, managing director of AdMob in EMEA, commented on Apple’s App Store: “In just twelve months, more than 50,000 applications have been added to the Apple App Store. With millions now downloaded every week, it is becoming increasingly hard for developers to capture the attention of consumers.
"Many developers are now using mobile advertising to drive downloads of their applications,” he continued. “Not only is this boosting sales of paid-for apps, it is also helping developers to monetise the traffic generated by their free applications. Mobile advertising benefits both consumers and developers as the ads will help consumers users find new apps, and developers can afford to invest more time producing and updating their applications."
