If anyone has experience with Android apps, please let me know if this is possible - I have Admob ads in my apps, and a few days ago I created a House Ad (basically you make your own ad in Admob and it overrides other advertisers' ads until it hits your impression goal). So the default Admob ads are replaced with the ad I set up (that redirects to another app I made) until it hits 1,000,000 impressions, and then it disappears.

Now, the problem is that Admob's functionality is quite poor so they don't have a "if user has already clicked on House Ad, stop showing House Ad and replace with default ad" option, or even a "if user has seen House Ad xx number of times, stop showing House Ad" option. So obviously you're wasting a lot of impressions by showing the same ad over and over to people who have already seen it 50 times and possibly even clicked it and already downloaded the other app.

So my idea is to code the House Ad into the app itself w/o setting it up in Admob, and try to add in something that destroys it as soon as the user clicks on it, and from then on it will show an Admob ad in that place. But as far as I know Admob will place itself on top of everything and you can't have them appearing and disappearing whenever you want (otherwise you'd have a plethora of spam apps where ads randomly appear over the buttons), so I'm not sure how to do it. Any ideas?
