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 have enabled "Show banners only", but did not upload the banners that match the sizes of the targeted ad units** Either disable the Show banners only option, or upload the required banners to fix the issue. *** You target expensive traffic sources, but did not set a high enough Max CPM value for your CPD-campaign**

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.

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.

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 bounc
