After a half a day or so, I'm getting a low fill rate (12% or so) and a very low CTR. Luckily I have Adwhirl integrated, so it's serving Admob ads and House ads when iAds doesn't come through.
I'm really optimistic about iAds, but I was hoping for them to have more advertisers on board on launch day.
I have around 10% fill rate also and 1 to 2% CTR. Anyway even with low impressions, I am earning more than with AdMob thanks to high prices of CPM and clicks. (and AdMob don't pay for impressions).
I will also implement adWhirl to serve admob or house ad for the 90% unfilled requests and countries outside US not receiving iAd yet.
My fill rate's been going up each day, and quite a bit today. Starting on 07/03 it's been 12.17%, 12.5%, 17.35%, and today is 26.23%. I hope this trend continues. . . this is not bad for the first few days, especially considering it seems like the eCPM is $6 at minimum (with no clicks).
So is anyone here actually making decent money of iAds?
Also, if you have used other ad networks, how does iAds compare?
That depends on how you look at it. No one that's serious with serving ads should be using iAd only right now, because the fill rate is low. However, the eCPM for the impressions that are applied is high; $6 minimum in my experiences so far. Compare that to the $1-2 I get with Admob, and iAds is much better, so currently I serve an iAd ad when possible, an Admob ad if iAd fell through, and a house ad (an ad for one of my own apps) if both fail.
And what does "Requests", "Impressions" and Fill Rate mean?
100 Request and 10 Impressions means 10% Fill Rate ?
A "request" refers to your app requesting an ad from the ad server. An impression is when the ad server actually had one available. Fill rate is amount of impressions divided by amount of requests--the rate at which the ad server had an ad to give you.
This is weird. Previous days had revenue and requests (around 1000 per day). So far today's revenue, requests are $0 for today. Do someone experience the same issue?
Personally, I'm not sure if I could define a "typical" day yet because it's a brand new ad network and is changing every day. My fill rates have been going up almost every day.

why my iad 's fill rate is 0%, 7000 requests, majoy request come from us, all country fill rate is 0%, so iad need extra setting?
my app show living iad status.but fill rate is 0%. who know why?
Apple originally said iAds would be for U.S. developers only--are you a U.S. developer? I think some other non-U.S. developers actually had some iAds showing, though. . .
