Note: Do not use admob's official ID for integration testing, especially do not use test devices to click on admob's official ID ads, otherwise it may be mistakenly judged as fake volume and blocked (it is recommended to refer to Hyperbid's testing guidelines or use admob's official test ID for testing)

 

3. Add Admob mediation group

It is recommended that you configure the Admob mediation group to align the budgets of other ad network and participate in the price comparison of Hyperbid. If you do not configure an intermediary group, you can also configure the admob ad unit id in the Hyperbid background.
