No ads error from adcontrol

I'm checking out ads in a Windows Phone app for the first time. When I tried with the test settings, the test app showed up.

When I replace the info by the applicationID and AdUnitId from PubCenter, nothing at all appeared (when debugging on a device).

I suscribed to the erroroccured event:

  private void AdControlInBorder_ErrorOccurred(object sender, Microsoft.Advertising.AdErrorEventArgs e)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(e.Error.Message.ToString());
    }

And I get: "No ad available". This is about a second after the app started up. Extra info: I'm in Belgium, checked it with the phone plugged to pc, unplugged, I'm on wifi and I have internet available.

AdDUplex is just for promote your app not for gain money :) In your case, you can't have ads in debug mode. Send your app in beta test and look if ads is available. Pub center have the best fill rate in wp8 platform. But you need to choice your app usage. If you app is a type like rss flow or news you need ads because you will have a lot of users connected for a long time and frequently. If you app is a productivity app, you will add in app purchase or send your app like a paid app or donation. Don't forget if you add ads, the possibility to remove.
