  • How to fix empty targeting
    The status "empty targeting" means that there are no ad units that match your campaign's settings and targeting criteria. The most popular causes and solutions: You enabled "Show banners only", but did not upload the banners that correspond to the sizes of the targeted ad units. Either disable the Show banners only option, or upload the necessary banner sizes. You target expensive traffic sources, but did not set a high enough Max CPM value for your CPD-campaign Go toVery popular
  • How can I see my ads published on your sites?
    Actually, there's no easy way to do it, but it can be done. First, you need to know the sites that promote your ads. Go to your campaign page -> Traffic sources -> Exclude from campaign (e.g. https://a-ads.com/campaigns/1/ad_units). Here you can see a list of ad units that display your advertisement. Please, mind they are sorted like "probable sources of fake traffic first". ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/6a953c4814a02400/Very popular

  • What is goal tracking?
    Goal tracking allows advertisers to analyze the traffic sources that bring visitors to their sites and to optimize the advertising campaigns. When you switch the "Goal tracking" option on, A-ADS adds a suffix to your ad link. This suffix allows you to identify the publishers that generate sales for you. You can reward those publishers via the goal tracking API and get more impressions from them. Goal tracFew readers
  • I paid for a campaign but it doesn't generate impressions
    There might be several reasons for that. For instance, your advertisement might be banned or not yet activated (it takes up to 8 hours to verify and approve the ad, although usually ads are moderated rather quickly). Another possible reason might be that your daily budget is too low. Campaigns with daily budget less than 0.00000100 won't spend. Yet another possible reason might be that your campaign doesn't contain enough traffic sources. Also it could be a bug. First of all, please, checFew readers

  • How to move money from a user balance to a campaign balance?
    You don't need to do it. A started campaign with a non-zero daily budget will be automatically funded from your user balance unless there is enough money on the campaign balance. In most cases, funding user balance is more comfortable than funding campaign balances, because all campaigns within a user account can receive funds from a user balance without additional actions.Few readers

  • How to fix a high bounce rate?
    Sometimes our advertisers are unhappy because they see extremely high bounce rates for A-ADS traffic. Tracking systems might show a bounce rate of up to 99%, while the bounce rate for other networks might be something like 25 - 70%. This difference is due to the fact that A-ADS is not a pay-per-click network: advertisers pay a fixed daily budget and get a share of all the targeted traffic. Since advertisers don’t pay for clicks, there is no need to filter them. Bad clicks may increase the bouncFew readers

  • What is total budget?
    "Total budget" is a limit of how much money the campaign can spend. If the limit is specified, the total amount of funds spent by the campaign will not exceed it. Let's say you want to spend a total budget of 1 BTC in 10 days. In this case, you need to set the "Daily budget" to 1 BTC / 10 days = 0.1 BTC or more, and the "Total budget" to 1 BTC. When the campaign spends 1 BTC, it will stop. To resume the campaign, you will need to increase the total budget or leave the field empty to disable tFew readers

  • How can I track my campaign’s statistics?

  • What is the minimum daily budget I can set?
    A-ADS has no minimum daily budget, you can set any amount that suits you, but note that the amount would have an impact on the connected ad units, expected clicks, and impressions. We recommend setting a daily budget higher than 0.00001 BTC, because due to the rounding errors and probabilistic nature of our algorithms it might not be spent, or could be spent without a result.. The larger the budget, the longer the campaign and wider the targeting - the more predictable results.Few readers
  • How do I optimize my traffic?
    In our experience, it’s best to deactivate the ad units that don't work for you and run some experiments, meaning using a small daily budget to test the rate at which traffic will convert, using different settings, then making a decision on how you configure your campaign, based on the results of your experiments. Please, note that goal tracking is advised, for more information on goal tracking, visit https://a-ads.com/blog/2019-10-16-advertisers-why-do-i-need-goal-tracking-how-to-switch-it-on/Few readers
