Settings of the ad campaign at HilltopAds
Bevor Sie eine Werbekampagne auf HilltopAds starten können, müssen Sie sich als Werbetreibender registrieren. Sie können sich registrieren über dieser Link.
Um eine Werbekampagne zu erstellen, müssen Sie Folgendes tun:
- Gehen Sie zum Kampagnen verwalten Abschnitt
- Klicken Sie auf die Kampagne hinzufügen Taste
- Wählen Sie im Bereich Kampagnenerstellung die Option Popunder mobil Anzeigenformat
- In der Verkehrskanäle Abschnitt, wählen Sie Non-mainstream or Mainstream High Activity
We have created the ad campaign chosen both Mainstream and Non-mainstream. But we recommend you to create separate ad campaigns to amalize and optimize it easier.
We recommend starting your first campaigns on the High and Medium Activity traffic segment. This way, your ads will receive a maximum number of first unique impressions from users and, consequently, conversions. Learn more about HilltopAds traffic segmentation hier.
Als Nächstes ist es wichtig, das Postback einzurichten, um die Ergebnisse Ihrer Anzeigenkampagne zu verfolgen.
Eine detaillierte Beschreibung der Arbeit mit Postback und den verfügbaren Platzhaltern finden Sie in unserem Leitfaden.
Einfach ausgedrückt, müssen wir für die endgültige URL des Angebots Parameter für die Übergabe von Conversions und Quell-IDs einfügen. Der Parameter für die Übergabe von Konversionen ist click_id, und die Quell-ID ist zone_id.
Infolgedessen ist unser Endziel-URL sollte folgendermaßen aussehen:
https://my_offer.net/?&click_id={{ctoken}}&s1={{zoneid}}
- {{ctoken}} - HilltopAds-Parameter zur Übergabe von Konvertierungen.
- {{zoneid}} - HilltopAds-Parameter zur Übergabe der Quell-ID.
Im Allgemeinen können Sie absolut jeden Parameter aus den verfügbaren Optionen hinzufügen, der für die weitere Analyse der Kampagne erforderlich ist. Denken Sie jedoch daran, dass es wichtig ist, die klick_id Parameter in der endgültigen Verknüpfung, um Konvertierungen zu übergeben.
Next, we specified the ad frequency per user – 1 display in 24 hours. And we set the necessary Targeting-Einstellungen:
- GEO – BR (Brazil)
If needed, you can also set campaign limits or display schedules. The final step before launching the ad is to specify the cost per thousand impressions (CPM). Here, we pay attention to the Verkehrsaufkommen graph in the top right corner, which calculates premium, minimum, and recommended CPM rates.
We initiated the ad campaign with a bid of $1.07, based on the provided recommended CPM price.
So, the key settings of the advertising campaign are as follows:
- Ad format – Popunder mobile
- Verkehrskanäle – Mainstream and Non-Mainstream High Activity
- Frequency cappings – 1 display per 24 hours
- Geo – BR (Brazil)
- CPM rate – $1.07
During the first day of running the ad, we got a total of 8 conversions. We spent $37.04 and earned $61.72.
Optimization
On the second day, we set up auto optimization to inactivate non-profitable traffic sources.
Auto Optimization is a tool for automatically adding non-performing traffic sources. Thanks to this feature, the HilltopAds system removes non-profit sources from your advertising campaign and adds them to the BlackList.
We configured auto optimization according to the following rules:
- If a specific source ID has more than 1,500 ad impressions
AND - generates less than 1 conversion,
then that source ID (zone) will be automatically added to the BlackList.
After setting up the auto optimization tool over the remaining 2 days, the earnings percentage from the advertising campaign significantly increased.
According to the statistics, we achieved the following:
- 25 conversions
- $65.63 spent
- $228.56 earned.
Final Results and Areas for Improvement
Over the course of the full 3 days of running the advertising campaign using the Casino offer, the following metrics were achieved:
- Total Costs (Revenue) – $102.67
- Total Earnings (Profit) – $290.28
- ROI (Return on Investment) – 182,73%
ROI is one of the key indicators in digital marketing that allows you to assess the profitability of an advertising campaign. In simple terms, ROI shows you the percentage of advertising investments that you have managed to recover through earnings from the ads.
The formula for calculating ROI is:
ROI = (total earnings – total cost) / total cost * 100%
The higher this value, the more successful an advertising campaign.
As a result of launching the Casino offer in Brazil for 3 days, we completely recouped the investment in the ad campaign and earned an additional +$190 on top.
It’s important to remember that any offer can eventually burn out. Therefore, to improve results, it’s advisable to use pre-landers that warm up users for conversion on the main offer page. Also, we used creatives written in Portuguese to get more conversions because Portuguese is the official language of Brazil, spoken by the majority of the country’s inhabitants.
We recommend you to use creatives written in language that is common in a chosen country.
