Below you can find examples of the most common mistakes, and short instructions on how to avoid making them.
Campaign Period and Budget
We suggest paying more attention to Campaign Period and Budget settings as both effect spend and performance significantly.
Good Practice
Daily and Total Budgets do not contradict each other and Period is not too big.
Bad practice
Campaign period is almost maximum - 364 days, Total Budget is low, Daily budget is relatively high.
In this case system is going to throttle traffic to make your campaign deliver total budget evenly till the end of the campaign period.
Meaning that campaign will spend about $2 per day.
Available Inventory wasn't check before launch
It is not prohibited to set campaign period for few month or almost a year, just make sure that your budget is big enough.
General suggestion
If using any specific targeting combinations, we suggest checking inventory availability.
We suggest paying close attention to following targeting parameters and not forgetting to include them in your report:
- Specific domains or white lists
- Geo
- Exclude Black list
- Creative sizes
- Creative type (video, display, IBV)
You can find more information about Available inventory here.
Important details
We also suggest double checking available inventory by SSP.
Your creatives might not pass moderation for some specific SSPs, for example Adx and Rubicon.
In this case you will see a specific Content Tags on the creative page:
Spend ASAP feature
When the Spend ASAP feature is enabled, your campaign bids for all available inventory.
We suggest using feature for the following cases:
- You actually need to Spend ASAP and buy a lot of inventory quickly
- Your targeting is extremely narrow and budget is relatively big
We suggest to avoid using Spend ASAP for following case:
- Wide Geo & All SSPs & Low budget → this combination is probably a fatal error
Exclude SSL Traffic
Please be careful with the Exclude SSL inventory check box located in the Creative section (see screenshot below).
You should not use it if your creative is SSL compliant.
Wrong Landing Page
Landing page should be the advertised product.
