AdMob freezes application for Windows Phone

Question

I am trying to use the AdMob control for Windows Phone 7. When my application starts, everything freezes until AdMob receives an ad. Of course, this is very annoying and a blocker error for me. It seems to be making a synchronous call using the user interface thread. This is true? Is there any way to avoid this?

UPDATE: Many months later and still the same problem. The funny thing is that if you try to complain about the admob forum, your post is automatically deleted.

Shame on you, Google ...

Answer 1

Please http://wp7adrotator.codeplex.com/ if you want to use ads from admob. Cause. Admob provides poor fill rate on Windows phones, and you can use other accounts, i.e. Microsoft Advertising SDK. In addition, it solves all unsolved admob management problems.

You can also find Nokia Ad Exchange.

Hope this helps you. I used Adroator in my Code Code application on the NerdCats Windows Phone Store

Answer 2

Why aren't you using your own Microsoft Advertising SDK? It works great on Windows phones.
