Meet CPA Goal — Your New Automation Buddy

Every affiliate knows the grind: constant bid changes, zone blacklists, and hours spent in spreadsheets. That’s where CPA Goal inside ROIads ad network steps in. Instead of juggling manual tweaks, you set a target cost per acquisition — and the platform keeps your campaigns within that range automatically.

Once conversion tracking is set up, the system gathers data and starts learning which zones, OS versions, or creatives actually deliver conversions at or below your goal. It increases bids where traffic works, lowers them where it doesn’t, and keeps adjusting in real time. In short, you focus on strategy, while CPA Goal handles the dirty work.

Why Affiliates Use CPA Goal​

The main reason affiliates like CPA Goal is because it brings stability. Instead of wasting budget on unprofitable sources, you get predictable performance and safer scaling. Here’s what it changes in practice:

• Less manual work – no need for daily bid edits and endless zone testing.
• Controlled budgets – traffic that doesn’t convert gets cut automatically.
• Faster scaling – you spend time testing offers and creatives, not spreadsheets.

It’s especially effective for verticals with fast flows — gambling, betting, dating, sweepstakes — where conversions happen quickly and give the algorithm plenty of data to optimize.

Getting Started with CPA Goal​

The process is simple — and it follows the exact steps in the diagram above:

1. Set up conversion tracking. Connect your tracker (Voluum, RedTrack, Bemob, etc.) and make sure postbacks are working.
2. Set your target CPA. Decide the acquisition cost you’re aiming for and enter it in the campaign settings.
3. Collect conversion data. Run the campaign long enough to generate some conversions (10-15 is usually a solid starting point).
4. Analyze traffic performance. The system evaluates which zones, OS versions, and devices bring profitable conversions.
5. Increase bids on converting sources. Strong placements get more budget automatically.
6. Reduce or block poor sources. Unprofitable traffic is cut down or stopped.
7. Continuous optimization. The algorithm keeps repeating the cycle as more data flows in.

Pro tip: it’s always smart to run a short manual test first. Once you’ve confirmed that your funnel and creatives convert, let CPA Goal take over to stabilize performance.

When CPA Goal Works Best​

Like any automation, CPA Goal isn’t magic — it needs enough data and the right conditions. It works best when:

• Your funnel converts quickly (one-two steps).
• You’re driving at least 1,000-2,000 visits per day.
• You’re in Tier 2-3 geos with affordable traffic and solid volume.
• Your creatives and landings are already proven.

It’s less effective with complex funnels where conversions take too long, because the algorithm needs fast feedback to optimize.

CPA Goal vs. AI Bidding Technology​

ROIads gives you two separate optimization features: CPA Goal and AI Bidding technology. They sound similar, but work very differently.

AI bidding technology is an AI based mechanism that automatically selects the best traffic sources for your campaign. It uses RTB (real-time bidding), raising or lowering bids in auctions instantly, based on where the most promising users are. The system looks at engagement signals like CTR, perfect for testing new angles, offers or geos.

CPA Goal ignores clicks and focuses directly on conversions. You set a target CPA and the system shifts your budget to sources that deliver at or below that number. It’s designed for scaling once you know your funnel works.

Important: these two features don’t work together in one campaign. You need to choose one.

• Choose AI bidding technology when you’re testing and exploring.
• Choose CPA Goal when you’re ready to scale with stable conversions.

A smart approach many affiliates use is launching two parallel campaigns — one with AI Bidding, one with CPA Goal — to see which mode fits their specific offer + geo + creative combo. That way, you let the data decide.
