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. ๐Ÿ˜•

But then thereโ€™s the question of whether you should start with a black or white list first?

I always recommend that you go with blacklists over whitelistsโ€ฆ 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)โ€ฆ leaving very little room to actually make decent money thatโ€™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
