If you have any experience buying or selling advertising space through Google, you’ve probably heard of Google AdSense. The names are very similar, which can cause some confusion.

Google Ad Manager, Google AdSense and Google AdMob are not all the same products. However, Google Ads Manager allows advertisers to bid for ads within Google AdSense.

Google AdSense is built to help small and medium-sized publishers monetize their websites in an easy to use way.

Google Ad Manager allows brands to monetize multiple platforms, including their website, mobile ads, video and games, and manage ads across multiple ad networks and even direct bids.

Google AdMob is a mobile advertsing network and monetization platform for the developers. Google AdMob focuses exclusively on mobile devices and gives developers the ability to display ads in their apps or manage multiple ad networks to maximize revenue.

Ads Manager apparrantly, allows you to make Google AdSense and Google AdMob compete with other ad networks and helping brands maximize revenue.

So Google AdSense and Google AdMob may be part of Google Ad Manager; however, they serve different purposes and work better for different formats (web vs. mobile apps).
