The The Google AdWords Team have just announced that Google Mobile Ads are now available in South Africa. This is a new movement, one which has most certainly NOT been tapped in South Africa and for those mobile publishers, well the few of them, this will be fantastic news! Best to start grabbing some .mobi domains and get to it!
We are writing to announce that Google Mobile Ads are now available in South Africa. These text-based ads appear on mobile handsets when users search using Google on their mobile.
Google Mobile Ads enable you to:
- Extend the reach of your AdWords ad campaigns, in an affordable and effective way, to users on the go and at a time when they need information,
- Link users to your mobile website and/or enable them to call your business directly,
- Create a mobile web page for free through Google’s free service http://adwords.google.com

Google Mobile Ads have the same features as the PC text ads you may already use, although they have a smaller character limit.
The ads, that are clearly marked as such, appear above and below the search results, when users search using Google from their mobile phone.
To get started with mobile ads, you can create a new campaign or a new ad group within one of your campaigns. For more information visit http://adwords.google.com
This feature is yet another way for us to provide you with the most effective advertising possible.
