Google Mobile Ads senior product manager Surojit Chatterjee has revealed some new details about the ways many different businesses are benefiting from mobile advertising.

Among the new features are search ads in mobile apps.

Custom Search Ads will also help app developers earn more money to fund their apps and grow their businesses on mobile, said Google.
The Click to Download format helps consumers when they are searching for information about an app, linking them directly to the App Store or Android Marketplace to download.
Mobile App Extensions, Local search ads, Click to Call, Hyperlocal search ads, Proximity as a factor in mobile search ads ranking, and Circulars are some other new formats.
