AdMob plugs in to mobile blogging

Mobile advertising service provider AdMob introduced a free mobile plug-in for blogging tool WordPress that promises to enable bloggers to generate revenue from advertising. Mobile web developer Andy Moore of Web2Text created the plug-in, which integrates AdMob code to offer bloggers the opportunity to feature ads in their posts and provides configuration of pages leveraging .mobi and W3C standards. In addition, real-time reporting functionality enables bloggers to track their impressions and earnings. "We aim to reduce the entry level to mobile publishing by making it easy for WordPress users to go mobile and reap the rewards of AdMob's advertising in just a few clicks," Moore said in a prepared statement. "This plug-in lets bloggers adhere to standards without having extra knowledge or getting their hands dirty in any code. It's easy to publish to mobile in a matter of seconds."
