From google documentation

public static final int ERROR_CODE_NO_FILL

The ad request was successful, but no ad was returned due to lack of ad inventory.

Constant Value: 3

That means, you ad request was successful but google server didn't provide any ads due to lack of ads.

Which means, you did your part, google might or might not provide ads when they think any ads worthy of showing to that particular user or not.
