At present, official "Google Mobile Ads SDK" is supports only Windows Phone 8:

Is it any solution to show ads on Windows Phone 7?
Google deprecated Windows Phone 7 in August 2013 : https://support.google.com/admob/v2/answer/3369601?hl=en-GB
Ad Rotator comes with the libraries that supported Windows Phone 7, though whether you will be able to create new Ads through the AdMob site that target Windows Phone 7 and the old SDK is another matter, pretty sure it's currently Windows Phone 8 only.

We have created a net banking app last year for a bank. Now we are supposed to upgrade that app to Windows Phone 8.1. I know that windows phone 8 app will definitely run on Windows Phone 8.1. But I need to investigate how we can make the app experience better for the user by using new API. I have been searching over the internet on this could not find anything particular. Can you people please guide me what are the API/Namespaces that has been there in Windows Phone 8 but being deprecated in Windows Phone 8.1. Any pointer or any URL would help.
Currently you have option to build Windows Phone 8.1 Application using the OLD SILVERLIGHT BASED API's used in Windows Phone 8 as well as NEW XAML BASED UNIVERSAL API's which have convergence ratio of 90% between Windows 8.1 & Windows Phone 8.1. If you want to know the features that you can have in Windows Phone 8.1 application then I suggest you go through
1: Building Apps for Windows Phone 8.1 Video Tutorials (At least first few) - This video series gives you the basics of Windows Phone 8.1 application developement
2: Windows Phone 8.1 Development for Absolute Beginners This will also help you in understanding the basics & start developing WP 8.1 applications using NEW XAML BASED API's
3: What's New in Windows Phone 8.1 Microsoft Documentation
You will find much more blogs on internet describing the differences between WP 8 & 8.1 but the above links will briefly cover the technical differences.
Hope this helps.
I just registered an admob account, but I am developing apps for windows phone 7, I don't see any SDK for windows phone 7 on their website. They only offer SDK for windows phone 8. How can I integrate ad mob into my windows phone 7 apps?
To get the SDK for WP7. Log into to your admob account and adding a site type of Windows Phone 7.
Hopefully that helps.

The new AdMob doesn't support Windows Phone 7 apps. Google deprecated Windows Phone 7 in August 2013 : https://support.google.com/admob/v2/answer/3369601?hl=en-GB
still You can configure AdMob but Sometimes it gets Crashes in your Applicatioin so it would better to use Microsoft's Pubcenter ads.

Is it possible to make a Windows Phone App target only the Windows Phone 7 platform?
I already have the Windows Phone 8 version of the app out, and changed a few things to release for Windows Phone 7 (like resolutions and limitations etc) but when I'm adding it to the marketplace it always has "Supported OS: Windows Phone 7 & 8" and doesn't allow me to change it.
Thanks.
I don't think that is possible, if you upload a 7.5 app it can run on both WP7 og WP8 devices. If you also have an WP8 version of your app, the user with WP8 devices only get the 8 app and not the 7.5 app. Also if the user on WP8 device first download a WP7.5 version of your app, and you later uploads a WP8 version, the WP8 devices will be updated with the WP8 version when ready on the store!
I am new to Windows Phone Development Environment, looked around on SO but couldn't find a clear answer to the question I have.
With Windows Phone SDK 8 publicly available, and new Windows Phones getting good reviews, one of our Clients is looking to launch their app on Windows Phone Platform as well (they already have it on iPhone). The app is pretty simple. Obviously Client would like their app to be compatible and available to as many as possible users/devices - WP7, WP7.5 and WP8.
Question is - what SDK version should I use to develop this app? Currently I have Windows 8 with 64-Bit, VS 2012 Express and Windows Phone SDK 8.0 already installed and ready to go for development. So if develop app using above tools, will it run on all the devices with WP 7,WP 7.5 and WP 8 on them?
What is a good approach to develop a brand new Windows Phone App that would run on WP 7,WP 7.5 and WP 8 Devices.
The complete answer is on this MSDN page:
Windows Phone versions
Basically you can create application targeting the WP7.5 platform and it will run on all current Windows Phone devices, or you can target only Windows Phone 8, then it will run only on new WP8 devices, but when targeting this newer platform, you can use broader set of APIs and features.
When you create new project, you are asked to choose between Windows Phone 7 and 8.
WP7 app runs in old and newer phones, but WP8 app runs only in WP8.
I am new to Windows Phone development. When I searched on the web looking for code samples for windows phone, sometimes I saw there were projects for Windows Phone Mango. Would someone tell me the difference between Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone Mango?
Mango was indeed the codename for the Windows Phone 7.5 update. There are a lot of new APIs and features in Windows Phone 7.5 and it brought with it a new SDK (version 7.1). Apps targeting the Windows Phone 7.0 SDK work just fine under 7.1 but apps targeting the Windows Phone 7.1 SDK require the Mango update to run.
The Windows Phone site lists the new features in the Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango update) and MSDN lists the API changes between the 7.0 SDK and the 7.1 SDK.
Mango was the code name for Windows Phone 7.5. The only difference you're going to see if perhaps some updated code samples with Mango tutorials.
there is nothing for you to worry about.
whatever works for pre-mango will work on mango.
therefore most code will works.
and you would only develop for 7.5 aka mango because all existing phone is upgrade-able to mango and phone running 7.0 won't be able to access the marketplace as microsoft had forced everyone to upgrade to 7.5
