How to Ace the Adcash Advertiser Platform (Q&A Session)

Whether you’re first starting, optimizing a campaign, or looking to boost your ROI monthly, our expert Adcash Senior Sales Manager Marouan Bouhachi has the answer.

He took the time to run you through the core online advertising questions and how to navigate the Adcash platform better. 

Is video more your thing? No sweat. Watch a quickfire recap below.

What payout types does Adcash accept? 🤔

A common question among advertisers who have just signed up or are looking to generate even higher campaign returns in a shorter time frame.

Our most common pay models include the CPM model (cost per mille), which is the industry standard and most commonly used.

The CPC (cost per click) applies to all clickable ad formats and the CPA Target (cost per action). 

Note that the CPA Target will automatically optimize itself according to the absolute best traffic sources, purchasing at the best price while also considering the campaign’s overall performance and the value of the traffic. 

Learn more about the unique differences between CPM, CPC, and CPA campaigns! Check the guide 👇

What is the Minimum CPM Price at Adcash? 💸

When you create a campaign using CPM as your payout model, the platform will require you to first set up a bid before moving on to the next step.

The system pre-populates the average bid and sets a minimum bidding price that you can’t go below.

The minimum bid is not always the same for all geos and depends on the campaign’s targeting restrictions. 

When setting up your CPM campaign, selecting the minimum bid may not always be the best decision, especially when trying to reach high-quality traffic sources consistently.

In these cases, higher bids are usually the ones that get top traffic with better conversion rates. 

What should my minimum Adcash campaign budget be? 💰

There are two different types of accounts that advertisers have access to. The managed account has a minimum budget of $/€1000 and a self-service account, which runs on a $/€100 starting budget. 

If you have a special request for topping up your wallet, you can speak with your account manager/support team. 

We’re always happy to help streamline your online campaign experience to maximum effect.

Which ad formats provide the best ROI? 🖥

It all depends on the type of offer you, as the Advertiser is running. The five core formats on the Adcash Advertiser Platform provide maximum campaign returns.

Pop-Under

This format creates product awareness in a wide variety of niches and verticals.

Pop-Under ads appear behind a site’s browser window and are the last thing seen before exiting. This so-called strategy ensures top-of-mind placement and captivating messaging. Find out more as to why Pop-Under ads are so effective. 

Interstitials Ads 

Known to Cure Banner Blindness, Interstitials are a frequently used format, appearing while a web page is busy loading.

They can reach the end-user clearly and distinctly, providing an immersive, tailored, and engaging ad experience. 

In-Page Push 

These alert-like formats are highly targeted, engaging, and less intrusive to the end-user experience. They increase onsite visibility and performance while blending high-quality UX with market-tested returns. 

Native Ads 

It’s a highly effective format; Native ads blend into the end site’s content and overall layout. They deliver high engagement rates and top conversions. 

Banner Ads

The original precursor to online advertising creatives, Banner ads are known for their versatility, strong delivery rates, and top converting potential. 

What are the best verticals to promote with Adcash? 🔝

Adcash runs traffic from all major verticals with worldwide coverage on each. Therefore, it would be tough to choose only one or two.

However, various verticals have delivered consistent results over a long period, such as: VPN, VOD, Sweepstakes, Sports Betting, Casino, Gaming, Dating, Software, and App Installs.

Can I manage my campaign at Adcash? 👌

The answer is pretty straightforward. Your campaigns are fully self-serviced, with many features and filters to use.

You will be able to create new campaigns, stop or temporarily halt existing ones and optimize along the way to target specific regions, geos, operating systems, traffic sources, etc.

You can also access campaign data, reports, and other cutting-edge metrics.

Of course, if you do ever need some tailored solutions, a dedicated account manager is always on call to help you on the journey to further boost your campaign ROI. Feel free to reach out to them anytime, right here. 

How can I optimize my campaign? 🚀

Some advertisers ask their account managers to assist in this process, and some do it based on tested campaign techniques. Once the campaign is live and some time has passed, optimizing further to achieve lasting results is essential.  Most advertisers will check their zones as the first action point. This checkup is always a great starting point and something you should certainly do. Still, we always suggest digging further into the available campaign data, breaking it down according to each segment in line with features, especially if you have chosen to run a campaign based on programmatic or RTB sources. You can also check and optimize according to the device, operating system, browser, browser language, sub-sources, or ISP if we’re talking about mobile-specific traffic. 

Plus, some excellent news for you – gone are the days where crucial metrics hide in multiple tabs or spreadsheets – the Performance Tab!

It’s designed to:

  • Show you EXACTLY how many auctions in your campaign have participated. 
  • Reveal your campaign Win Rate 
  • ROAS of your campaign.

Tempting? Learn more about Performance Tab

And don’t forget – as a rule, always try to break down the data into as much detail as possible to get valuable insight to optimize further. 

How long does campaign validation take? ⏳

The campaign validation usually doesn’t take a lot of time. Our compliance team constantly works to keep the campaign turnaround time as short as possible—approximately a couple of hours, but most of the time, shorter.

What can I do to fix rejected campaigns? 🏗

So this question falls into the compliance side of things. But not to worry. The solution is generally quite simple. Usually, a campaign rejection occurs due to a few minor compliance issues. When this happens, you’ll receive an email explaining why Adcash rejected your campaign. You can always contact our support team or your account manager for further clarity or step-by-step assistance in correcting the problem.

How do I track my campaign? 👀

First and foremost, we always recommend and see a massive benefit in tracking all aspects of a given campaign. In essence, following directly equates to better information, and the more you have, the better equipped you’ll be to generate and optimize consistently strong campaigns. Campaign tracking also helps your account manager/support team do a little more on their side to help you on the journey as and where necessary. Regarding tracking itself, we recommend server-to-server tracking (S2S). While setting up your tracker, you’ll get access to a list of all the trackers the Adcash platform is compatible with, including Red Track and Voluum. There is even an option to choose your in-house tracker.

Do I lose money at Adcash in a fraud situation? 🫣

Fraud is and will always be a delicate subject that every advertiser wants to avoid and stay on the right side of. Adcash has a zero-tolerance policy toward fraudulent activity. Having invested time and resources into fighting fraud and shady practices in Ad tech year after year, our team has become incredibly skilled. Now we are professionals in stopping potential fraud situations, tackling them head-on, and eradicating any deceptive practices they come across. 

If you detect any fraudulent activities, we recommend immediately contacting your account manager and support team and sending a fraud report so we can address the situation directly. 

The system will immediately send this information to our campaign fraud analysis team. Once it’s confirmed, you will be refunded the amount impacted due to any perceived fraudulent activity Something to keep in mind is that Adcash should always provide the full fraud report within 30 days of the incident.

Get to grips and stay clear of the industry’s most used shady practices
