I have this doubt running through my veins. I have created a youtube downloader app. I am publishing this on markets other than Google play store. The latest version of admob doesn'th really let me link the app to the ad. When I search it gives me only Google play store and iTunes suggestions. Does anyone have a solution to link your admob to other non market apps? If so please help me out.
I guess you don't want to publish the app on the play store because it violates their policy, hence might lead to a suspension. At the moment, NO. There's no solution to linking admob to other markets. The Application Visibility and Discoverability troubleshooter provided here pertains only to the play store
You should use any of the ad services below(adversiting ID complaint) if you don't want to publish your app to the play store:
Startapp
AppFlood
NativeX
Appia
Epom Market
Airpush
Appwiz
RevMob
MobileCore
AerServ
Appnext
AppBrain
Widdit
MobiMicro
AppKey
AppOptim
StarApplication
Mobicow
Pingjam
TapContext
InMobi
Minimob
IMO, startapp is better than admob especially when using their interstitial ads. You can find a list of 2014 top android ad services from these sites http://www.appbrain.com/stats/libraries/ad http://www.mobyaffiliates.com/blog/a-list-of-android-advertising-networks/
I thing you will probably not get approved for admob because of their policy guidelines. Alternatively, you may go for TAPJOY it is the best alternative to admob in the market. Below are some high paying networks:
Topjoy
Mopub
KIIP

I am using google admob and i already have banners on my app with the tokens from google add mob site. I tried them once without test device and it just loaded a random advertisment and not then one from the app of the token.
Is this wrong or my app will just load the correct ad when submitted on play store?
Thank you for the attention,
Best Regards
It appears to be working but im not sure if playstore will require me in the future to link it by uploading the app to their playstore. Can anyone confirm if i can leave it unlinked? Thanks!
In 2023, you can't monetize your app with admob without publishing it on Google Play Store or any other Admob supported app store.
if you link your app to google play from admob console. then admob will fetch up your apps budle id and other information. Rest will be the same. if one of your application is removed from GP by google in case of ban or suspansion. then it will cause to disable ad-serving to that budle id of the application or if your app gets invalid clicks, ad-serving will also disable by admob to your budle id like com.xxxx.xxxx. Linking your app to google play increase the risks in case something goes wrongly...
You can definitely use Admob without uploading your app to Google Play. The question is why wouldn't you upload your app to Google Play - it is a very large market that you will be missing out on.

Violation explanation
GOOGLE PLAY REMOVAL: AdMob publishers are not permitted to abuse or promote the abuse of any Google product, such as Google Play, YouTube, or Blogger. This includes circumventing, or providing the means to circumvent, the policies or terms of these or other Google products, such as by allowing users to download YouTube videos.
If your app is removed by Google Play policy enforcement, please contact Google Play about an app removal here. If Google Play reinstates your app, please submit an appeal to our team.
Action required: Check account for compliance
While ad serving has been disabled to the above app, your AdMob account remains active. We suggest that you take the time to review the rest of your applications to ensure that they’re in compliance with our policies, and to monitor your apps accordingly to reduce the likelihood of future policy emails from us. Additionally, please note that our team reserves the right to disable accounts at any time if we continue to see violations occurring.
Thanks in Advance.
You click your own ads several times. on purpose or not, you let other (users using same network) click your ads.
For any reason, never click your own ads, that's the golden rule. if you want to see and click your ads, you should use TEST DEVICE ID.
see this link Testing that admob working before publish
Please check below link
supprt.google.com
in that see Invalid clicks and impressions
you got your answer why your account will be disable
admob has some popup when i enter the console about admob legacy stopping. Im not sure what exactly admob legacy is. I have ads in all of our apps on google play. Im just trying to get some insight as to if it is necessary for me to make changes to code or if ads will still run after august 31st, im just trying to be 100% on whats going on.
if you can explain what is going on id be very appreciative, thank you
Admob legacy is the old admob website (admob.com) while the new admob is apps.admob.com.
You are supposed to upgrade your account to the new admob.
You don't have to make changes to your existing apps on the play store.
However, from 1st August, 2014, for updates or new apps using ads to be accepted on the play store, they must use an advertising ID. In admob, this is only available via the google play services library and not the deprecated GoogleAdmobADSSdk-6.X.X.jar so you within your apps make sure you use admob via the google play service library.
Summary: Upgrade account to new admob(apps.admob.com) before 1st September, and use admob via google play services for new or updated apps from 1st August.
According to Eric (Google Admob developer engineer):
"As long as you've upgraded your AdMob account by the August 31 deadline, ads will continue to serve, even through the old AdMob SDK.
The SDK upgrade deadline on August 1st per the Google Play Ad Policy just means you can't update apps to the Google Play store that include the old AdMob SDK. As far as the legacy AdMob site shutdown, you need to upgrade to the new AdMob site to still get impressions. Once you upgrade, AdMob makes a link between your legacy ad unit to your new AdMob ad unit. So requests even on that legacy ad unit can continue to serve because that link is made. If you fail to update to the new site, there is no such link, and your requests will no longer fill after August 31 (regardless if you are using the old AdMob SDK or Google Play services)."

I have written my first android app and have successfully included the AdMob ads into the app.
Must I publish the app via Market (Google Play) in order to start earning revenue?
Additionally I understand that while in Development, we need to put in the Test Device to indicate that the Ad is still in test mode. When I publish the app for real, all I have to do is remove the testDevice from my code right?
Thanks in advance!

You need to publish your app and make it available for others to download and install it so that when they use the app, the ad requests are served. Only when the users click your ads will you be generating revenue.
If your question was whether it is mandatory that you have to publish the app only on Google Play store to earn revenue, I think it is not necessary.
IIRC, there is no mention on Publisher guidelines and policies that prevents a publisher from publishing the app on alternative Android markets. You should consult a legal adviser if you need more clarity on the ToS.

You can leave the test device id so as to prevent clicking the ads from your test device.
AFAIK you set testmode = false in client end or check disable all test mode in admob site and you start earning...
