Traffic Gate, an affiliate service provider and a joint venture of two of Japan's major dot-com companies CyberAgent and Rakuten, unveiled today a new ad network for developing ad-revenue services using iPhone app, named "TG Ad for iPhone[J]".

It is a very similar approach to AdMob's mobile ad solutions that the San Francisco-based tech company has developed and provide iPhone app developers and service providers with an SDK (software development kit) to put ads on their app. Traffic Gate will focus on matching advertising needs between service developers and potential advertisers in the Japanese iPhone community.
