Google goes AdSense for Mobile

It’s been confirmed. Google AdSense will be displayed on your mobile phones:

Google has begun inviting mobile Web site developers to display Google ads on their sites as part of a limited beta test.

The offer extends to the mobile environment Google’s AdSense program, which lets Web developers earn revenue by placing advertisements on their sites. Google runs the back-end network that places ads on the sites relevant to content. Site owners earn revenue when visitors click on the ads.

Sites must be written in one of three mobile markup languages: WML, XHTML, and cHTML (compact HTML) in order to use AdSense for mobile, according to a Google AdSense for mobile help page. That’s because Google’s crawlers must be able to read the page in those languages to determine page content and serve up relevant ads. {Yahoo News}

I’ve predicted this to happen exactly a year ago (July 14, 2006: MobSense: Adsense for Mobile). Although I was actually thinking of SMS-based ads, the introduction of Google AdSense for mobile environment indicates a strong confidence that the next internet will be on the mobile phone.

I also predicted this to happen… I always get excited whenever I heard something new about Google.

I wonder how this will work here since few Pinoy mobile users surf mobile websites (as opposed to using Opera Mini or the Nokia S60 minimap browser to open desktop websites.)

But I know what this will lead to… more Pinoy publishers creating mobile sites!

Its 2009 and adsense for mobile is still not available in the Philippines.

Too bad.

I just saw a link to Google Adsense for mobile in my adsense account. Can anyone confirm if google adsense for mobile is now available in the Philippines? Or will that link redirect you to admob since they just bought admob recently?
