Chapter 11: Tracking Revenue and Fallbacks


If your app has a low click through rate, what should you do:

Answer: D

As click through rate is the percentage of impressions that result in the user clicking your banner view, it’s likely a low value could be caused by poor positioning of your banner. You should only ever show one banner so increasing the amount of banners won’t increase your click-through rate and could result in your iAd Contract being revoked.

What is a request?

Answer: C

Providing the user is online, every request for an iAd banner within your app will be registered and tracked in the iAd Network.

As fill rate is the percentage of requests from your app that result in an ad showing, how would you calculate it?

Answer: B

The fill rate is calculated by working out the percentage of requests to the network that are fulfilled with a banner being returned. If your app sends 2000 requests, and receives 1000 banners, your fill rate is 50% because 100 divided by 2000, multiplied by 1000 is 50.
