You're not adding it to the sub view tree.

From your __prepare method

self.houseAdView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0)];
self.houseAdView.frame = self.adView.frame;
NSURLRequest *request = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL: [NSURL URLWithString: @"http://www.panabee.com"]];
[self.houseAdView loadRequest: request];

That's great. But it doesn't work - you are missing one line of code - a critical, vital line that gets every developer some time or another.

[self addSubview:self.houseAdView];

^{I'm making a few assumptions, like that self is a UIView. Test before shipping.}

So, that part of your __prepare method should look like this:

self.houseAdView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0)];
self.houseAdView.frame = self.adView.frame;
NSURLRequest *request = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL: [NSURL URLWithString: @"http://www.panabee.com"]];
[self.houseAdView loadRequest: request];
[self addSubview:self.houseAdView];
