  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.

• 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).

Tracking systems might show a bounce rate of up to 99%, while the bounce rate for other networks might be something like 25 - 70%.
