Hi everybody!

Push notifications are hot right now with every ad network now offering this ad format. They claim there's only real, human traffic since bots cannot subscribe to the push service. We know however that programmers are very clever and bots are getting more and more advanced.

I've ran some campaings on @PropellerAds push notifications with some success. However, I just noticed the click loss is very high.

  • Clicks on tracker: 12,646
  • Clicks on AffNetwork: 9654
CLICK LOSS: 3691
