When are these iAd delegate methods called? - ios

Ok I am am using the delegate method
(void)bannerViewActionDidFinish:(ADBannerView *)banner
Being only test ads I cant test when it is called. I know it is called when the ad is closed with the X as i can click that in the test ad and it calls the delegate method. My question is, is it also called when the user interacts with the ad i.e clicks to download the advertised app or only when closed?
Also im trying understand the revenue from iAds.
if an ad is displayed in the bannerView on my app does that generate any revenue?
if an ad banner is clicked to load an ad does that generate any revenue?
if an ad banner is clicked to load an ad into full screen does count towards the CTR?
if an ad is loaded an interacted with does that generate any revenue and does that count towards the CTR?
Thanks

Ok I found the info i needed here is what i got:

My question is, is it also called when the user interacts with the ad i.e clicks to download the advertised app or only when closed?
The Delegate is called after the application is covered with an iAd and then returned to the application
Also im trying understand the revenue from iAds.
if an ad is displayed in the bannerView on my app does that generate any revenue?
If you show a developer iAd i.e a link to the AppStore to download an App, then you only get revenue when the iAd is clicked in the banner. If you show an iAd from a branded company i.e BMW you get revenue for having the iAd banner and more for it being clicked
if an ad banner is clicked to load an ad does that generate any revenue?
yes
if an ad banner is clicked to load an ad into full screen does count towards the CTR?
yes
if an ad is loaded an interacted with does that generate any revenue and does that count towards the CTR?
yes

How to stop showing AdMob banner ad correctly?

I am building an app which will display AdMob banner ad, and when user successfully purchased an IAP item, the banner ad will never show up again, and the screen area originally occupied by the banner ad will be used by the app real functions.
The question is how to dismiss the bannerView or does not init it on the next launch up? And how to insure AdMob Sdk will never refresh the ad content in the background?
I think we cannot just hide the bannerView with just a statement:
bannerView.isHidden = true
And, as we know, AdMob SDK use IDFA. But Apple will deny an app which use IDFA but not showing Ads.
Google has guides on how to show up ads, but I cannot find information about how to stop showing ads from Google.
How to get this problem out?
The question is how to dismiss the bannerView or does not init it on
the next launch up? And how to insure AdMob Sdk will never refresh the
ad content in the background?
There are multiple ways to do this. One way I can think of is to add multiple targets in your Xcode project.
And the easier way, the more practical way - at least for me, is to prevent the requests for ads through GADRequest().
You can even do this even in AppDelegate, when setting Ids to your SDK.
That's it. You may also set nil to the delegate property of your bannerView.
And like what you've mentioned, just hide the bannerView's container, and everything should be perfect. I've worked on lots of applications with Admob, and I believe there should be no problem doing this approach.

How to request AdMob Interstitial before transition to display the ads immediatelly

I've been using AdMob integration (interstitial ads) in my project.
My project has the following structure:
-Main Screen
-Choose Level
-Play Screen
Is there anyway to request the interstitial ads in the Main Screen, and once the user enters the category or play screen the interstitial ads would be available to show?
Currently the example provided by AdMob only shows code for a single page, which is to load and cache in the page itself. I would like to create an object or singleton in my App Delegate which would persist across all my View Controllers.

iAd interstitial not working after first time

I programmed an app such that when you press a button, it will call the iAd requestInterstitialAdPresentation() function.
The first time I do this, it works normally. However, after I close the Ad view, and I press the button again, another ad will not appear. I even turned on the unlimited Ad presentation option in the developer settings in the iPhone.
Why does another ad not appear? Is there a time you need to wait to present the next ad?
A new ad only is requested after the first ad unloads. You'll have to wait some time before a new ad is loaded into your system after the first ad unloads.

Choosing the iAd banner

I am new to iAd. I used iAd for the first time in one of my apps .. and I didn't like the type of ads that was shown in my app. Is there anyway to choose which ads or banners can appear in my app?
or at least which category of ads?
If you're referring to add content (e.g. kid apps or car ads), you don't have a choice in which type of ads are displayed to the user. There does seem to be some tailoring of ads from Apple based on user data from app download analytics but that's entirely opaque to developers adopting iAd.
The APIs which are provided with iAd lets you show either banners either interstitial ads (which is an ad displayed on all the screen).

iOS AdMob full screen banner does not hide

I am using AdMob ad in my application. Ads are displayed correctly.
When i tap the ad, some of the ads are opening in full screen web page in my application.When i tap the Done button, it did not close the full screen ad and ad page just frozen.
AdMob API id invoke the
- (void)adViewWillDismissScreen:(GADBannerView *)adView;
delegate method
but it never invoked the following delegate method.
- (void)adViewDidDismissScreen:(GADBannerView *)adView;
I had to kill the application in iPad2.
I had to restart the iPhone 4s device (since i could not locate my application in the running application panel to kill).
Not sure what is wrong. I could not find any details in google.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
