Step 11 - Optimizing our Campaign

[Gujinder]

That's what I would start with for each one, yes

Hi @Luke . So, after analyzing the data in BeMob, I created a Campaign in PopAds for Saudi Arabia with OS as Android 11, browser as Google Chrome 94 and 95, formfactor as smartphone, and 5 website ids which were performing well. I kept maximal bid as 0.00033 and budget as 5.
Summary looks like below.

The problem I am facing is that in last more than 12 hours, after campaign approval, only $0.08 is used out of $5 daily budget. Why it might be?

The issue is you are bidding too low. You are position 22 as it says. If you're going to run a whitelist campaign (which is what you are doing), you will want to bid higher so you can get a high position and more of the traffic.

So you should bid for number 1 to see if the offer converts? Or at least above 10?

What would a good guideline be? If the offer is $4.00, how much would you budget to see a conversion and at what minimum position?

Thanks @Luke .
1. When I ran the campaign first time for whole world the position was much lower but I got traffic. In your screenshot also position is 191. So, how exactly it works?
2. Where can I read more about bidding, whitelisting campaign etc. ?
3.What should I do now?

Yeah, you were targeting the whole world the first time and now you've narrowed it down. There will be less traffic and you will need to big higher.

2. Where can I read more about bidding, whitelisting campaign etc. ?

Try searching the forum for popads bid: https://afflift.com/f/search/?q=popads+bid&o=relevance

3.What should I do now?

Increase your bid.

Increase your bid.

Thanks Luke.
How to decide an ideal bid? When to increase, how much to increase?
Do we have a full thread/article on this in the forum?

I'm not sure if there's a thread on it, but I would bump it until you're getting traffic you're happy with.

So I ran the campaign for Saudi Arabia, with only the top performing OS and Browser. I still didnt get into any profit :-(

I had some +ve ROI website IDs in above campaign:

Today I ran the same Campaign again with the Website Ids that are +ve with budget of $5 and Maximal Bid of 0.5

But I am hardly getting any traffic. BeMob results since the running of Campaign today.

What mistake I am making?
Do you think i would be able to make +ve ROI :-( ?

How many conversions did you have in the campaign you used to determine the best o/s and browser? The screenshots you're showing don't show much in the way of visits or conversions. Real tough to make decisions with that little of info. Personally, I never make a decision based on 1 conversion in a zone.

You aren't getting any traffic because the websites you are targeting do not have much traffic and you've over optimized.

ok. What next then? Shall I run the campaign again for Worldwide and get more data?

 

[saidprx]

thank you

Is there a follow up on this interesting thread? what happens when you don't get traffic because of over optimizing campaign?
should we kill it and start from scratch?

I wasn't getting a positive roi so killed it but then I started it for a GEO which had good traffic but there also I got +ve roi only for day. So had to kill that as well. Not sure if smartlinks can really be made profitable or not but I couldn't make it but I learnt the use of tracking tool. Maybe this tutorial is meant more for learning than for +ve earning

Next step is to apply what you've learned to a bigger campaign. For example, our Intermediate Course can definitely give you "bigger" results

I m trying to adjust a camping but popsad is complaining "CSRF protection in effect", that I am using a different system. Which is not so. Although I checked the platform from my phone but now I want to work from system. Please how do I clear this error message

Thanks, I just tried logging in and it have been able to save the campaign. You are the boss

Glad it's sorted

I have read through this step today.
But unfortunately for me, I am not able to see conversions in beMob, although I did see about 90+ conversions in mobipium.
I followed every step in this guide and have no idean why it's not working.
