Admob Settings Category Crisis - android

Hello I have developed an app which is actually education based and I want to show admob ad into it. But in admob settings's catgory, there is no education section. So I selected tools category.
I know admob shows relevant ads based on the category of app. And probably that why my app is showing irrelevant ads (not educational). What should I do now?

You can use Games:Brain & Puzzle or Entertainment as I think they are close enough. Also you major concern should be App description. Choose related keywords carefully an let admob showing relevant ads.

Where is my Native Ads Advanced (Unified) ID?

I assessed to Admob => Add Unit.
Just only three options showed me: Banner, interstitial, and rewarded
But in https://developers.google.com/admob/android/native-unified
they show me two more ad formats are Native Ads Advanced (Unified) and Native Ads Advanced
They also showed the ID in there content but I don't know that it's mine or not
I am so sorry if it's kind of a stupid question but I have no idea and I need your help. Thank you !
As you can see on top of the page linked, it says:
Native Ads Advanced is currently released to a limited set of
publishers. If you're interested in participating, reach out to your
account manager to discuss the possibility.
Native Ads are only available as Ad Units, if the feature is unlocked for you by an account manager. I am facing the same problem and Google seems to be very strict, when deciding who to add to the "limited set of publishers".
A sample for a google group, where this has been demanded:

Can I be banned from AdMob for seeing real ads (impressions)?

Question 1:
I know that clicking on real ads in my own app can get me banned but does that include impressions ?
I developed app and tested ads with test ads but now I want to see how it looks with real ads (which ads appear ....). How can I test that if I can be banned for that ?
Question 2:
Does AdMob gets data on how many ads were seen because I implemented code that sends event to Firebase Analytics each time ad is shown to user? Do I need it (should I delete that part of code)?
Well, Admob collects how many users have seen the add and how many times and clicks too and this is how they decide CPM which is cost per thousand impression and CPC which is cost per click. CPC and CPM are essential to evaluate your earnings through ads.
As far as first question is concern regarding clicking your ads, you can test your beta releases here and here too. However they don't ban immediately as one can click real ads mistakenly but repeated such event can cause a ban.
Answering your seccond question if you just want how many users have seen the ad, Admob can give you that metrics.
I can answer first question. Impression on your own app does not ban you, I always install my own app after it is live in play to see if real ads are showing or not, but don't click on them. Also do not encourage any friends to click on them on their mobile. Google knows everything!
If you will press to the ad one or two times you will not be banned. But it really not needed, cos' you can use test-ads; they have got the same lifecycle.
Inside admob it is possible to see total amount of shown/clicked ads and how much money you have earned. Imo, in most cases you need not to write such statistic.

Can i put Adf.ly ads to my App?

1) my question is if can i put a banner that when we click it, this go to an adf.ly link to earn money? Can i get banned for Google ?

3) And if i put one app with Admob Ads *AND* Adf.ly links what happend ?
Sorry for my english, and thanks.
Here's a list of other ad SDKs you can use
It is fine to use other ad SDK's in your different apps, as far as I am aware. Ones like AirPush (I think that's what it was called) are not allowed anymore as they push ads in the background.

Control what ads go on my app

All- I was wondering if there is a way to control what ads go on my app when I am using AdMob or if I have no say at all. The only reason why I care is that I don't want users to come to the conclusion that my apps are say violent when they have ads for shooting games. Thanks for your time.
Sure, you can select which kind of ads to show. All the settings are available in the AdMob control panel.
on AdMob Sites & Apps page look at Manage Settings near your application , there you can choose what kind of ads types to show and also filter by text/URL

How does Admob determine the textual context to show targeted advertisements?

1) Is the Admob SDK able to retrieve all the text strings shown in a app and display targeted ads based on those?
2) Do I have to specify the strings manually by AdRequest.setKeywords(keywords)? EDIT: setKeywords is ignored. Source
3) The targeted ads are shown based on the application description and title entered in Admob website?
4) Some other factor(s)?
5) Non of parameters mentioned are used and Admob does not provide context targeted ads only region based ads?
It not meaningful to parse the content as a web page on mobile devices, so the answer is no context targeted ads for now. I asked the same question with a googler. His answer is AdMob delivers Ads based on user's behavior. Initially, AdMob delivers any kinds of Ad to you. If you tap the "car" Ads more than the others, it means that you are interesting in buying a car recently, so more car Ads will be delivered to you, something like that.
From my personal experience it does not. I do not know but the ads I get are not particularly context sensitive.
I have a small free app called PodcastCharger and I set the keywords for the name of podcasts, etc but failed to see any difference with the ads shown.
It could be that the keywords I set is not related to any ad.
I'll share my experience, I've just publish new app called Balloon Rush it's a simple tilt game so initially when I added ads it started displaying "Hot balloon" ads straight away which was odd as I have very few content as text in the app and that is mainly the title on the splash screen. After that I've added few keywords to the ad request and after an hour of the change I started getting different ads related to the keywords and even more image ads opposed to text ones.
In my experience I saw good change adding keywords and it was definitely detecting my app title or in-app labels.
