I am looking for way to monetize my free android application . I saw two choices Ad mob and AdSense. Looks like Admob is getting closed and replaced by Adsense ? I read later google shut down adsense

so how to put ads in mobile now ? Sorry for my limited understanding . Any pointers are welcome.

One general question - does people really click ads and can you make decent money in andriod apps.

AdMob is used for native applications, so you should use AdMob in this case. AdSense is used for mobile web applications.

The amount of revenue in an ad-based model really depends on the amount of users and ad requests. Ads can be a good stream of revenue but you do need the user base for it to take off.
