Step 11 - Optimizing our Campaign

[Luke]

Should I stick with Mobipium? I think I need to try other networks?

I would test more networks. You can always split test them against MOBIPIUM to see how they're performing. If you want to continue to generate push subscribers, I recommend you also try: EvaDav and Monetizer

What about sticking with Popads?

Yes, I still run campaigns on PopAds, but I would also recommend testing some new pop sources like RichPops and PropellerAds.

I want to also stick with BeMob.

Yes, I recommend you stick with BeMob for now

OK, I went through the process, but after adding another $5 to my budget, it's telling me my campaign will not start again for another 7+ hours because of "daily budget reset"... whatever that means.

@Luke thanks for the guidances but are there more Guides like this that shows more info about campaign optimization it looks like I found out where my problem is of not being able to get back the return on investment ?

yeah, we definitely need more guides / discussions on optimization. It seems everyone has their own strategies, but there are definitely basics.

Thanks, @Luke this will help me a lot and guide other newbies as well.

Hi @Luke hope you are fine and doing great. First thank you very much for creating this quality guide, there's a lot of useful information behind it.

Second, I have a question;
How can I target specific offers for specific WebsiteIDs?

I can target Website IDs in PopAds but how can I choose specific offers for each WebsiteID?

Thank you in advance,

Thank you in advance,

That's going to lead to an interesting funnel/flow, but you could do it by creating a rule for each WebsiteID in your BeMob campaign:

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know how come I tried to follow the step to do "Hour of the Day" I can't see the other hours but keep seeing only this hour?
When I drilled down the report, it will just show me the offers only.

Any advise ?

Hi, I'm very new to this also but I think I can help.

In your screenshot, you have it filtered on "today" only. (see below the "hour of the day" field).

So you are seeing the data by hour only for today. If you want the data by hour for a longer time period, change "today" to a longer time period.

I found it. Thank you very much! =)

Hi,

is hour of day

- local time (time in Brasil or time in Germany)
- time of campaign (e.g. Lisbon time)?

Because I would assume that local time is strong predictor, while campaign time is irrelevant.

 

[Gujinder]

For running the optimized campaign, should I also check the time at which the first Ad campaign ran? I have this question because First campaign took some time to get approved but as you said 2nd campaign wont need approval and would start immediately, so can it happen that first ad was run during the day time of the countries that are showing +ve results so for 2nd campaign also i need to run at that time rather than starting it immediately?

When I ran the Campaign on 11th Nov. I had below results:

Today (16th Nov), I ran the campaign again for top 4 countries. I don't know why it ran for US and China, I didnt select these two in pop ads. So still ROI is extremely negative. What should be my next step?

So still ROI is extremely negative. What should be my next step?

I would setup 2 campaigns for SA and MX. Optimize for the best performing browser and OS versions. Then, simply start removing bad performing WebsiteIDs. Then, figure out which offers are performing best for each of the top volume website IDs and collect your daily profit

And each campaign should have $5 budget in PopAds?

 

[Luke]

And each campaign should have $5 budget in PopAds?

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

 

[jumper]

I am running my "optimized" campaign, and topped up the budget in PopAds. I am seeing something in real-time. Is this what is happening at the time? I paused it since I want to match the same time which is later.

I topped up the budget for $5 (for total budge of 10) since my daily budget is $5. Hope this is correct.


Update:

The bidding map is cool in PopAds! I am adjusting in real-time which helps a lot.

How's it looking?

 

[jumper]

How's it looking?

A lot better. The good thing about PopAds is I can change it on the fly. My goal is to take your 1st tutorial and make it profitable. I am currently down -20% from -80% and the campaign is still running. I figure if I keep repeating your tutorial I will keep seeing new angles. Plus, the cost of running them is great for a guy like me. While I drive Uber I think the current ride will pay for my next campaign. Haha.

I already see the value of having good network from the traffic to the tracker is important. I was screwing around with self-hosting, but I stopped myself after figuring that I was chasing the wrong goal.

That's great to hear! Onward and upward is our motto
