Developer rgelb has created a silverlight control allowing developers to easily add Google AdMob ads into their Silverlight based Windows Phone 7 application. This is really good for those who wish to monetise their free application but I don’t think that Microsoft will allow this once the app is submitted to the Marketplace. Microsoft has already announced that developers will be allowed to monetise their work with mobile ads but this probably won’t be available directly at launch (that’s the latest I heard). So if you plan on using this control I highly suggest to try to contact Microsoft before finalizing your development. Check out the video after the break:
Here’s official text from the Microsoft Windows Phone 7 Marketplace guidelines:
2.7 If your application includes or displays advertising, the advertising must comply with the Microsoft Advertising Creative Acceptance Policy Guide (http://advertising.microsoft.com/creative-specs)
