To avoid the risk of your AdMob account being banned, it's essential to display **Test Ads** during app development. Test ads are placeholders provided by AdMob that simulate real ads without impacting your account or violating AdMob's policies. Failing to do so may lead to your account being flagged for invalid ad activity, as live ads are not meant to be interacted with in a testing environment.

To enable test ads, simply leave the ad unit IDs empty. Once your app is ready for production, you can disable test ads by adding the actual ad unit IDs to serve real ads.
To maximize the effectiveness of AdMob ads in your app while maintaining a positive user experience and complying with AdMob policies, follow these overall best practices:

2.**Comply with AdMob Policies**: Adhere strictly to AdMob’s guidelines regarding ad placement, frequency, and user interaction.

3.**Respect User Privacy**: Follow data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and give users control over their ad preferences by integrating privacy options. Learn more about [AdMob Privacy & Consent](https://support.google.com/admob/answer/7676680?hl=en)

1.**Loading Ads in Advance**: Interstitial ads should be loaded before they are needed, typically in the background, to avoid delays when it’s time to display the ad.
304

2.**Displaying at the Right Time**: Ensure ads are shown at natural transition points. Showing ads in the middle of an activity can disrupt the user experience.
