One of the other views has to fill in the remaining space so the ad is pushed to the bottom. You can accomplish that by adding this right above the AdView:

<!-- fill remaining space -->
<Space
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1" />

Also note: weights don't have to add up to 1. It's only relative to the other children. So where you used the weights 0.2, 0.6 and 0.2 in your layout you could also use 1, 3 and 1 for the same effect.
If only one child has a weight it consumes all remaining space no matter the value.
