How much money do you make with iAds (average)?

edited October 2012 in Working with GS (Mac)
Just wondering because my app was just released and got 1000+ downloads on the first day, but my iAd shows zilch in any statistic. Is this normal, or is there an delay in iAd reports or something? Maybe iAds don't run on less popular games? I understand this is controlled by Apple, so the most you can do on GS is dragging the "Show Banner" into the game.

    In iAD report, how many request do you have? 0?
  • MeaningfulGamesMeaningfulGames Member, PRO Posts: 171
    Yeah, 0. Are the ads streamed into niche categories, and my app doesn't fall in those categories?
    I'm positive I set up iAds right, I just dragged in a rule saying at this X/Y Camera position, show banner iAd. Pretty straightforward stuff.

    I have 10,000 downloads on my sleeps till christmas app (Link below). Makes me about $2 a day. Fill rate is about 70% which I believe is quite good. I dont have iads in the game section so not sure what their fill rate is like.

    I think there is a problem w iAD and the new web publishing system. Is there anyone who released an iAD game in web publishing system and iAD results shows more than 0?

    Filed a report for a bug. This is a huge problem, Playhaven does not have reporting and iAds doesn't work? What good is pro after thaT?

    Yes, also in my game iAd isn't working. There is a problem here :( as always

    This is extremely worrying.

    Has Game salad support been able to give you any answers? It would be really important to find out if there is indeed a problem with the new publishing platform, or if it is an issue with your iTunes setup.

    nrconcepts: yes, the problem exits, they working on it.

    This is very concerning. I have noticed after an update that my iAds have dropped significantly. Should I resubmit the app??
  • nrconceptsnrconcepts PRO Posts: 36
    It is really important that we ave an exact idea of what and how big the problem is!

    Has everyone checked their iAds and noticed any difference. Also is there any update from the GameSalad team on this problem since yesterday?

    We are waiting for review of our game (uploaded it saturday), so will keep an eye on the iAds situation and keep you posted!
  • MeaningfulGamesMeaningfulGames Member, PRO Posts: 171
    Just bumping this back up. My app is now "in review" so I will keep you posted on whether a new update helps with iAds. 0 requests for 2500 downloads is a bit weird, no?

    Did you active iAds in iTunes connect? if you are not even getting requests you have not set something properly for to show iAds. I highly doubt this is a GS issue to be honest.

    I have had this bug for nearly a month. Support got back to me a few days ago and said they fixed one of the issues so iAd should work fine on ios 5 and below but ios 6 wont get fixed until the next creator update.

    Hi, i have the same problem with iAd...
  • dmilinovichiiidmilinovichiii Member Posts: 620
    Open your own app and click an ad. If you don't see a report of a few pennies, then something is wrong.

    As @tenrdrmer said, make sure you have iAds enabled within iTunes Connect. Click on your app in the Manage Your Applications module, click on Manage iAd (or something like that), and if you have done this properly, it should notify you that iAds are currently enabled for this application. If you are not getting something telling you that iAds are enabled, then you must not have enabled them. If this is the case, then this is not a GameSalad problem.

    I haven't had any problems with iAds (besides crappy revenue from them) but that's nothing new. However, I think I published my latest iAd enabled game with 0.9.94.

    I enabled all about iAd in itunes connect, and my apps are elegible from iAd by 2 days but after 2.400 downloads, they rest to zero.... i suppose that is a new problem of GS creator 0.10 with iAd behavior... i use iAd by 6 months and i never had problems until now; this has happened with my last 2 Free Apps made ​​with 010...
    I tested the game and i noticed that never appears iAd!, while the other App it'is ok.
    Please fix this problem soon with new Version.

    I feel this is the case too. 0.10.0.0 has this problem.

    I'm sure GS is a problem, I have commanded the support emials two weeks ago and no walks say about it, I have iAds applications that work well but the latest applications shipped with the new publishing system malfunctioned. GS team Someone who can give information? It is a problem that has long time ....
  • MeaningfulGamesMeaningfulGames Member, PRO Posts: 171
    Hm, what was wrong with the original publishing system anyway? Being a new user that only bought PRO at 0.10, I don't know but the old system seemed pretty flawless. The idea of doing publishing seperate from the GS client ...
  • pinkio75pinkio75 Member, PRO Posts: 1,221
    I think that this iAd's problem coincide with iOS 6...

    @SaladStraightShooter, was this problem addressed in the latest release? It was not mentioned, but you never know.
