  1. Don't forget to remember to consider different ad units. Make sure you find an ad network that offers rich media, interstitial, and HTML5 compliance. Check out mobile ad networks like TapIt, JumpTap, and others.

    Notice the "tap" in the title of those companies, that's what you're visitors will be doing!
