Hello. I'm have not developed new games in months, So I have not experienced the results of Mobclix, yet. I already had a successful game on Android, but due to no advertising options I did not make money.
I did not use Gamesalad for a long time, so I don't know if mobclix is worth or not.
So I'd like your opinions about it.
Is it generating revenue for you? Can Admob be used with mobclix?
Thank you.

Yes i'd like to have any feedback about mobclix...
I have made $4 so far...so yes, technically I am making money!
I think I will be waiting a while before payment happens.
I think that Admob has never been accepted by GS, so I think that's impossible that you can use it right now...
@lycettebros
4$ that's a great result!
I think you can give a percentage over to admob ads through your admob account but I have not looked at it in detail and could be way off the mark on this.

thanks, but after that you can see the reports directly in Google Play Dashboard? like Apple iAd and you will receive a payment directly from Google Play for AdMob?
Yes, i'd like to know if anyone have received the first payment
take look here:

if i understand we are unable to use Admob with Mobclick
Log onto Mobclix
Under the Services tab scroll down to the bottom - there is a section called "Other Networks" and Admob is listed here.
It should have a 'signup' button to the right.
Now I assume that if you 'signup' and use your Admob account (if you have one) that then Admob ads will be sent to your app.
I have not done it myself, I am a little scared based on the statement in the above post @pinkio75 refers to (basically GS does not support Admob integration)....but logic would state that if I am able to signup through Mobclix to my Admob account surely that can work - it goes around any limit that GS might have I'd imagine.
Any thoughts???
STOP PRESS:
This statement in the Admob signup text might be a problem:
"You are responsible for implementing the logic in your application to handle the requests from this network. See the Open Allocation guide in the SDK for more information."
...that probably is the killer right there.
@Wboko I do not know if anyone has had Mobclix integration long enough to get a payment. I could be wrong of course but no one has come forth as yet. I will let you know if I receive a payment...I know there has been some concern about people not getting paid from Mobclix.
2) I'm not making anything substantial with mobclix. I don't think I will use them again.
I am not impressed by these fly by night crooks and less impressed that GameSalad integrates with them when there is a REAL solution available that is proven and more importantly PAYS the money earned.
ADMOB!
On second thoughts - bugger it.
@poisenden have you registered to admob and tried to activate admob on mobclix?
Mobclix offers you a chance to use Admob but he takes the earns from Admob.
Thanks
ok so now i'm sure we can't use Mobclix to add Admob.
Thanks
NO and a little yes. Mobclix has a long track record of not paying out what is owed to developers. Myself included. They are 4 months (now) behind on payments owed. Do they payout.... occasionally. They paid me last back in Feb and paid Jan and Dec. Before then they were nearly 6 months behind until they caught up, but now once again not paying. So their payment is choppy at best. They may payout fine to new comers at the start (possibly), but don't expect to be paid on time for long. They claim they are a Net 90, but when it is all said and done they are closer to a Net 180+. As in my case they are sitting at more like Net 210 at the moment (still going up daily).
NOW people have said you can use Admob with them... that is FALSE. I looked into this myself. You have to CODE in particular code in order for it to moderate to Admob. Since with GS we can't do any coding, there is no way to do it. You can however, POTENTIALLY use Millennial Media. I'm currently in the process of trying to get it to work on my live game. However, even though I have it set to send MM 99% of requests... they have not yet sent a single ad their way. Which obviously doesn't make any sense. So at the moment integrating with MM doesn't work either as an alternative. I'm currently working with MM reps to try and get it resolved with Mobclix. I have also of course written to Mobclix, but they rarely answer what you ask and can take up to and over a week to respond sometimes so I'm not holding my breath. I'll let you guys know if I can get MM working through Mobclix as an alternative since I can honestly say MOBCLIX SUCKS!
You are probably not running Admob ads then if you are seeing ads. This is a clip straight from where you activate your allocation to Admob in Mobclix dashboard.
"Use the AdMob Suballocation to guarantee a certain percentage of your advertising requests go to AdMob. Automatic optimization of your advertising revenue is not available with Open Allocation at this time. Works with Mobclix for iPhone 3.1.0 and later. You are responsible for IMPLEMENTING the LOGIC in your application to handle the requests from this network. See the Open Allocation guide in the SDK for more information."
There is NO place other than in code to put the App ID given from Admob. Thus how can you earn anything in your Admob dashboard if it has no idea which app OR developer you are.
