iAds not showing

bjoerdaubit

Hello everybody,

I recently published some tiny little PR games including iAds. They were green lighted by apple and are now sitting in the store. Strangely, no iAds are showing up. I just dragged the iAd behavior in some actors of some scenes and the Test Advertisement showed up in the viewer with no problem. My simple question now: Why isn't it working?

Test it yourself: http://itunes.apple.com/de/app/b2b-pr-car-racer/id500681223?mt=8

thanks for your help!

The fill rate that you get might be low. If Apple don't have ads to give you, nothing will show up.

The test ad will always show in the GS viewer - always even if something is wrong at Apple's end.
Have you set the app up in iTunesconnect to receive ads and tested it with an AdHoc build?
GS viewer testing is one thing but a AdHoc test is more important.

Hey, thanks for your answers so far.
Can I see the fill rate I am gettings somewhere?
I set up iAd Network in iTunes Connect, but I didn't test it with an AdHoc build. But the Apps are online in the store with the iAd update and they are not working, so an AdHoc test is obsolete isn't it?

You can see all the stats (including test ads) from the iAds link on iTunesconnect.
If you did not test it with an AdHoc build it still may work for you as long as you setup the app for iAds in iTconnect.
If the App is in the store it is likely the ads are working as Apple would probably not publish (they do a test as well).
As @EatingMyHat says you may not be receiving ads through a network (wifi must be connected) or getting downloads to register in the iAds report (check the report in iTunes it will register requests from the app for ads as long as the iOS device is on a network).

Also the ads will not appear on the iAd graphs. If you have only just published it may take a day or two for data to appear on the iDs report graph.
