What will happen with these Ads?

Question

If I add Ads apps to my application, but I don't actually monetize it in Admob, will I still get the money for the clicks? I released an app last month, and I realized now, that I didn't monetize it in the actual Admob website. The publisher ID and everything was properly put into my code, so it should still be linked to my Admob, right? So what does monetizing even do anyway? If I don't monetize, will I still get the money earned?

Thanks,

What do you mean by add ads but not monetize? When you add ads you automatically monetize. (Unless you are using someone else's ad unit ids - in this case you are still monetizing but someone else is earning revenue.) dont do that. Earn for yourself :-)

Yes, it should be linked.

Monetizing means adding the ads in your app.

If I don't monetize, will I still get the money earned?

No. If you dont monetize you dont earn, obviously. But from what you say, you have already monetized your app.
