New Year, New Website, 3 big reasons to check out the new AdMob website

Happy New Year! If you've been to the AdMob website recently, you may have noticed we made big changes to the site. In addition to the aesthetic upgrades, we�ve worked hard to make the website more helpful to you. Here are 3 reasons to check it out.

#1: Learn how we can help you reach your specific goals

AdMob is more than an ad network, it�s a robust platform that will help you reach your goals. Whether you need to learn new insights about your users, increase revenue, manage all of your advertising inventory, or drive more in-app purchases and installs, AdMob can help get you there. We restructured the site around these common goals, providing deeper insights into exactly how you can best use the product to grow.

# 2: Find new, relevant success stories

App developers have been thriving on AdMob. In this redesign, we've made sure to sprinkle developer stories all throughout the site�stories like how Jason Byrne and Robert Diem of Eltsoft have increased revenue 20x with AdMob interstitial ads, or how the game developers at Colopl have seen great results cross-promoting their own apps through AdMob. Additionally, we�ve added filters to our case studies section so that you can explore similar companies with similar goals.

#3 Discover helpful resources

Our new resource section includes a hub for great learning guides like Analytics Academy for Mobile Apps and the App Developer Business Kit. You�ll also find direct links to essential resources like our help desks and SDK integration tutorials and stay connected on all things mobile apps by following our blog and Google+ page.
