Pricings

This section is for pricing and budget planning. Here you can:
1. Choose a Pricing Model of your campaign (more information about our pricing models can be found here);

for_2_article_7.jpg

2. Set a Geo/Country of targeting and choose a Bid/Price (all relevant bids for different ad formats are available in ‘Traffic Inventory’ for registered users only).

for_2_article_8.jpg

What’s more, here you can choose a pre-set multi-country targeting by clicking on one of the settings shown on the screenshot below (‘WW’ - for all available countries, ‘Europe’ - European countries only, ‘Asia’ - Asian countries, and so on).

for_2_article_4.jpg

Note that multi-targeting pre-sets are currently available on CPM and smartCPM pricing models only.
You can set a bid for each Geo (available only with SmartCPM & CPM). Tap on the 'Add another rate' button.

If you want to know about relevant bids, you can use our Traffic Inventory and see there the daily traffic amount and also the max and average bids for a geo you are interested in.

In case you have not registered an account yet, you can contact our Support Team via live-chat that is available at the bottom 'How can I help you?' in the right corner of the page.

3. Set Frequency Capping for impressions and clicks. It refers to how many times (Frequency - times) your ad will be shown to the same user during a certain period of time (Capping - in hours). For example, 3/24 Frequency Capping for impressions means that a single user (when you choose user-based frequency) will be shown your ad 3 times in a row of 24 hours;

for_2_article_9.jpg

What is more, you can select which type of 'Frequency' you would like to apply for your campaign's activity. Here you can see the three main types:

(1) User-based frequency capping: it defines how often your ad will be displayed on a publisher's website to an individual user at a given period, and it's based on cookie matching. It is set by default;

(2) Device-based frequency capping: it is based on how many times an ad will be shown to a user with a single unique device ID;

(3) IP-based frequency capping: here you can set how many times an ad will be shown to a user(s) with the same IP.

You can read more about various types of Frequency Capping here.

4. Set your Daily Campaign Budget and Total Campaign Budget. Use these fields if you want your campaigns to stop after they have spent a certain amount of $$$.

for_2_article_10.jpg
  • For example, if you have set your daily budget to $30, and your total budget to $90, it means that your campaign will be automatically paused once it’s spent $30 in one single day. Then, after your campaign’s total expenses reached $90 (in this case, it’d have been running for 3 days in a row), it will be stopped and acquire ‘Complete’ status.

  • If your campaign has stopped receiving traffic due to reaching its Daily Budget or Total Budget, you can either increase your campaign’s budget to restart it or leave these fields empty (they’re empty by default!).

Targetings

for_2_article_11.jpg

This page helps you to set specific targeting settings so that your campaign is getting only the most suitable traffic for your offer. You can either include a certain targeting (it is in ‘include’ mode by default) or exclude it from your campaign’s traffic delivery by clicking on the ‘Exclude’ switcher

so that it turns red:

  1. Connection Type (‘3G’ - only mobile carrier traffic, ‘Wi-Fi’ - only traffic from devices connected to Wi-Fi, ‘All’ - both kinds of traffic);

  2. OS types (Mobile, Desktop, or Other), OSs (Android, iOS, etc.), OS versions;

  3. Device Types (Phone, Tablet, Other), Device Vendors (Apple, Acer, Nokia, Huawei, etc.) and Models (Galaxy A7, Honor 4C, etc.);

  4. Mobile ISP (carrier) (only for 3G connection type);

  5. Browsers and Browser language. We recommend setting a ‘Browser language’ targeting if you need to receive traffic from users who speak a certain language, or if you’re targeting a country where there is more than one common language spoken;

  6. State and City targeting. Here you can choose to target only specific states and/or cities in a chosen country. Note that a country needs to be set in 'Pricings' first;

  7. Proxy/Not proxy. If you choose the ‘Proxy’ option, you will receive traffic from both users with genuine IPs and those who are masking their real IP addresses and using another country’s IP instead. ‘Not proxy’ option allows you to get traffic only from first-hand IP addresses. ‘All’ settings will get you both kinds of users.

Zones & Additional

Last, but not least. This page allows to:

  1. Add zones (‘Zone Limitation’ field) that you want to Include (let your campaign work only within these zones) or Exclude (your campaign will not work on these zones but on all others). Click on the

    mceclip8.png

    switch to exclude these zones;

2. Set campaign schedule: note, that our platform is working according to the EST time zone. If you want your campaign to work during a specific period, you should calculate the time zone of a geo you are running your campaign on;

3. Select the ad delivery method (for more accurate tests and correct stats we recommend leaving these settings as they are);

mceclip11.png

4. Choose Anti-Adblock Zones and RTB traffic (third-party traffic, not from our direct Publishers).

After all the steps are complete, you can go through your campaign’s overall settings once again by looking at the ‘Campaign Summary’ section on the right side of your page. This is quite convenient and saves your time. This section is divided into 4 parts, according to the ‘Create Campaign’ sections:

Note: if you are not ready to launch your campaign, you can save it as a draft.

Do not forget to tick the Quality Guidelines compliance field before starting the campaign.
