Does anyone know if it's possible to link directly to an iTunes ringtone when the user clicks your ad?

And for House Ads in your own apps, are they shown evenly (like if I set up 5 ads and get 5k ad requests, each ad will get 1k requests)?

Hypothetically, let's say yes. If you're considering arbitraging this, you're going to need an insanely-high conversion rate. What does the iTunes store pay to affiliates? Like 4%? And what's a ringtone cost? $1.29? So, you'd be earning 5 cents per sale? I thought Admob charged 5 cents per click. Let's say it was a penny minimum, you would need a 20% conversion rate to break-even.

Sorry if any of my facts are wrong - I'm just not seeing the arbitrage opportunity here.

I have my own ringtones in the store, so in this case the payout is 70% ($0.90) so at $0.01 per click it only needs to convert at around 1%.

I'm also mainly just trying to run them as House Ads in my own apps. The revenue you get per click is so minuscule that even if you factor in the opportunity cost of running fewer ads from other advertisers, you're still "paying" next to nothing. And knowing which apps you're advertising in means your ads are incredibly targeted.
 
Am I the only person here using Admob?

Another weird thing is there's a HUGE discrepancy between the number of clicks on the ad and the number of clicks that actually end up on the offer page (the number of ad clicks are literally as high as 100-300x the number who end up on the offer). I'm not surprised that there's a discrepancy because most peoples' mobile internet is so slow that they probably back out before it's done loading, but 299 out of 300 people?
