Hello! We’re continuing our traffic experiments in Canada. In our previous case targeting this GEO, we tried launching a Dating offer, but in today’s scenario, the experiment revolves around one of the popular VPN (Virtual Private Network) verticals.
Let’s get down to business!
핵심 포인트
Offer: VPN
GEO: CA(캐나다)
트래픽: Mainstream High and Medium Activity
광고 형식: Popunder 모바일
광고 캠페인 기간: 2 – 6 May
수익: $1,400
ROI: 180%
VPN (Virtual Private Network) programs have existed for a long time, but initially, they were only used by computer geeks. The situation changed after Edward Snowden revealed widespread government surveillance of its citizens in 2013. At that moment, VPN services skyrocketed in popularity.
Lockdowns, remote work, and online shopping have only added to their popularity over the past year.
What is a VPN offer?
This category of offers provides users with software or subscriptions to VPN services. To be precise, a virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across a public network and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network. The benefits of a VPN include increases in functionality, security, and management of the private network. It provides access to resources that are inaccessible on the public network and is typically used for telecommuting workers. Encryption is common, although not an inherent part of a VPN connection.
전략
In the previous case on Canadian traffic, we tested a bid of $1.7. The performance metrics and traffic volume were quite impressive. Therefore, in this case on the VPN vertical, we decided to lower the price and accept the proposed bid of $1.02. We’ll provide more details on this in the campaign settings below.
Also, in our case, we decided to stick with the Popunder mobile ad format because we direct traffic to a fairly simple registration process, which we filter out from random users through a high-quality pre-lander.
A good pre-lander can attract more targeted traffic that can meet the advertiser’s desires.
It’s important to note that we’ve chosen mobile iOS traffic because VPN services aren’t as popular for desktops.
Now, let’s move on to a detailed breakdown of the GEOs.
Geography
Do Canadians use VPNs? Yes, quite actively. Canadians use VPNs to access American Netflix and other American video websites (Hulu or Disney Plus).
Furthermore, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada conducted a study in 2020 that found 87% of Canadian citizens worried about online privacy and the protection of their data. Due to antiterrorism laws in Canada, there’s a considerable amount of cyber surveillance in the country.
That’s why VPN services are in such demand in Canada and are considered an integral part of internet usage. VPN offers here elicit a very positive response.
And if you ever thought that launching VPN offers on Tier-1 and iOS requires exceptional mastery, then leave all doubts behind. Premium GEOs make campaigns riskier but also more profitable. Overall, traffic in Canada shows high conversion rates, and there’s also a financially capable audience there.
이제 캠페인 설정을 더 자세히 보여드리겠습니다.

- Proxy - 불허
- WebView - 허용
WebView는 모바일 애플리케이션 내에서 오퍼가 있는 랜딩 페이지를 열어주는 소프트웨어입니다. 즉, 애플리케이션을 열면 사용자가 오퍼가 있는 단일 페이지 웹사이트로 이동합니다.
We’ve made the decision to implement a daily budget limit for our advertising campaign on the HilltopAds platform. This strategic move is aimed at ensuring better financial control and maximizing the efficiency of our advertising spend.
To begin with, we decided to set a daily limit of $100:
필요한 경우 캠페인 한도 또는 표시 일정을 설정할 수도 있습니다. 광고를 시작하기 전 마지막 단계는 1,000회 노출당 비용을 지정하는 것입니다(CPM). 여기서는 트래픽 볼륨 graph in the top left corner, which calculates premium, minimum, and recommended CPM rates.

트래픽 채널 – Mainstream High and Medium Activity
지리적 - CA
OS – iOS
CPM 요금 – $1.02
Optimization and intermediate results
We tested the campaign for exactly 2 days and were satisfied with the results. However, upon examining the screenshot statistics, we noticed certain areas where the cost per conversion is above $1.5:
This doesn’t align with our objectives, so we decided to implement an Automatic Optimization tool and set the cost per conversion at $1.5, but no higher.
To learn more about the capabilities of automatic optimization with HilltopAds, you can check out the article on the website.
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.
Results
After setting up the automatic optimization tool and for the remaining 3 days, the earnings percentage from the advertising campaign significantly increased. According to the statistics, over 5 days we achieved the following:
- 총 비용(수익) – $500
- 총 수익(이익) – $1,400.35
- ROI(투자 수익률) – 180%
ROI는 광고 캠페인의 수익성을 평가할 수 있는 디지털 마케팅의 핵심 지표 중 하나입니다. 간단히 말해, ROI는 광고 수익을 통해 회수한 광고 투자금의 비율을 보여줍니다.
ROI를 계산하는 공식은 다음과 같습니다:
ROI = (총 수입 - 총 비용) / 총 비용 * 100%
이 경우 투자 수익은 다음과 같습니다. 180%.
순이익
The net profit derived from the VPN offer launched on the HilltopAds platform illustrates compelling return on investment. With a total revenue of $1,400.35 and advertising expenses amounting to $500, the campaign yielded a net profit of $900. This underscores the effectiveness of the HilltopAds advertising network as a valuable platform for promoting offers such as VPN.
