My app is published in android market. It has AdMod ads. Can I install and use it for daily use without negative consequences? I know I may not use real ad unit when testing. But is it also so when my app is already published on the market and I am the developer?
If you are using the app as a normal client would then I would say yes.
But I am not a lawyer.

I have implemented advance native ads in my Android application.
Now, I want to take them live but cannot get them to work with my native app unit id. I am guessing it's because that can only be used for express ads.
How can I get an advance ad unit id?
Native Ads Advanced are in a closed beta right now. From Native Ads Advanced:
This feature is currently in a limited beta release. If you are
interested in participating, reach out to your account manager to
discuss the possibility. This feature will be made available to all
publishers at the conclusion of the beta.
You need to contact AdMob if you'd like to participate in the beta.
Today and I don't know how (And I actually I don't care) my AdMob account has been suspended for a month, it was a long email to share, but somehow I felt like I'm a thug or criminal who want to steal their money (Which was less than a dollar as my app just got published a couple of days ago), perhaps there was a mistake from my side (The only thing comes in my mind that I may forgot to disable the live Ads while testing my code today as a result of publishing an update that fixes a bug).
Anyway, they will not serve me any Ads for a month, and as there was no even a warning and no appealing, I'm considering to use Amazon Ads in my app.
My question is,
1- Is it easy to implement an Amazon ad banner in my code?
2- Do I have to publish my application on Amazon App Store too?
3- Is there a step by step guide to implement Amazon ad in my code?
Thank you :)
1- Is it easy to implement an Amazon ad banner in my code?
Totally depends on your expertise level. But, even if you are moderately comfortable with android development and have worked on integration with other ad networks it should not be hard at all.
2- Do I have to publish my application on Amazon App Store too?
No, but it is recommended to do so. What the harm in having an additional distribution channel? It will only do you good by bringing in more downloads.
The getting started page clearly states this: Submit your app to the Amazon Appstore, Google Play, **or** another app distribution framework. Hence publishing on Amazon is not a mandate.
You will have to sign the MOBILE AD NETWORK PUBLISHER AGREEMENT
3- Is there a step by step guide to implement Amazon ad in my code?
Yes, refer the official documentation here
These FAQs will help you better understand each of the points you've put in your question.
And why only amazon as an alternative? You have a whole lot of other options.
Is their an0 android app ads library that I can use in my app without the need to publish the app in the market?
You don't need to publish your application on the Market in order to use AdMob ads. Just register on the AdMob site and get your code to use when displaying ads.
I don't see any relevance between being small company and using Android Market, about 80% or more of Android Market submissions are made by singe developers, there's absolutely nothing wrong about publishing your personal application. I can even tell, it's really helpful to get a feedback from market users, especially if you don't have many people to beta-test your application.
Can I use AdMob ads in my apps on Amazon Appstore? If not, what ad networks can I use?
I have 24 apps on amazon all with admob without any filter. Amazon's policy against links to other market places not apply to ads. They only apply if you directly place a link in your app. Like, button "more games" that lead to your games on google play.
AdMob is an ad network which supports (in this context) Android applications. the Amazon Appstore is merely another platform for developers to release their applications on.
So to answer you question briefly, YES, you can use the AdMob Api, integrate into your Android app and release it on the Amazon Appstore, or Appstore for that matter (naturally, the ones that support Android apps. ;-) )
My google account got suspended so I uploaded the same apk to Amazon, now my app only show kindle ads.
I think they're influencing which ads shows up through their market, even if I am using admob. Not 100% sure right now. I've tried to at least 100 times restarting my app and even force closing my app a bunch of times but it only shows Amazon Kindle ads.
Yes, if your app also success published to google play store/apple app store.
No, if above not fullfill. Go for Amazon Mobile Ads, it is better.
I want to implement Admob Tracking in my Android app. The Ads will be generated and published.
As far as I understand admob tracking is used to keep track of downloads of my app by means of the ads published. And to track this I need to have an app with tracking implemented in market. But is there any way to test if tracing is happening properly. Or am I not understanding the concept properly.
Any views are appreciated.
Regards
I have used this in my APP and I believe only way to test this is having the APP in Marketplace.
