One mistake that can be seen a lot here on the forum is making global whitelists and/or blacklists too early. To make a high-quality black or white list you need enough data to be able to determine if a zoneID is actually good or bad.

With too little data you have good chances of not getting the results you expect. 😕

But then there’s the question of whether you should start with a black or white list first?

I always recommend that you go with blacklists over whitelists… at least initially. The reason being is that with whitelists you'll many times end up limiting your volume substantially (especially true if you don't know what you're doing)… leaving very little room to actually make decent money that’s worth your time.

Since many people here on the forum seem to use PropellerAds traffic, I thought it would be a good idea to make a quick guide about how to use the newly updated API to pull all of the data (conversions and/or spend) for the zoneIDs in your campaigns. This data can then be analyzed quickly in something like Google Sheets to determine if you should black or white list
