Kindly please give me some suggestion. Thank you.

Answer 1

Hey there,

I use AdWhirl too, and it seems to work.

"Unable to fill ad request. This is a common situation." just means there is currently no ad available for showing. Thats not a problem.

"Unhandled error (no delegate or delegate does not implement didFailToReceiveAdWithError:): Error Domain=ADErrorDomain Code=5 "The operation couldn's be completed. Banner view is visible but does not have content"

This is a common problem too, AdWhirl doesn't implement one of the iAd delegate methods. You don't have to care about either error.

I haven't seen the third one yet, but it just seems to suggest, that there are no more Ad Networks to try to ask for an Ad. Mayve set up a personal ad on the AdWhirl Webformular, to fill the idle times :)

Answer 2

For the error: 2010-10-25 23:53:21.550 iAdWhirle[2017:207] Failed to receive ad from admob, will NOT use backup. Error: No more ad networks to roll over

Are you using only Admob? Backup will be used if you have multiple ad networks configured on AdWhirl server.

Answer 3

I using Admob and iAd.

Answer 4

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. I am now running adWhirl official demo program, replace the original SDK Key with my Key, then can get the advertisement with high fill rate. But I do not know why when I merge it into my app, the fill rate decreased so much, almost zero.

Br,
