The Top GEOs for their Adult <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/popunder-ad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Popunder<\/a> traffic are US, IT, ES, FR, DE, IN, RU, UK, CA, ZA, MY, VT, NL, TH, AU, PT, SE, BE, PL.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also Mainstream Popunder traffic available for US, ES, UK, IT, DE, CA, FR, UAE, AU, RU, NL, BE, SE, SG. Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/sweepstakes-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sweepstakes offers<\/a> will match perfectly with such traffic.<\/p>\n<p>To follow the trend, recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/plugrushs-push-traffic-take-media-buying-next-level\/\">PlugRush also launched<\/a> Push Notifications and made them available for both Adult and Mainstream traffic.<\/p>\n<p>I worked with PlugRush from the time when they were focused on Popunder traffic and didn\u2019t have anything else in their inventory.

Average position. This is the interesting part since it allows you to see your placement among the competitors, based on the bid you\u2019ve chosen. A higher bid goes hand in hand with a higher average position. The top average position that you can get is 1. That means you\u2019ll be the highest bidder. So the largest portion of the traffic will go to your campaign. The lower the average position, the less traffic you\u2019ll receive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I emphasize that this is only an estimation based on previous data from the same or similar targeting. This rating does not take into account either yours nor your competitors\u2019 White or Blacklists. So I don\u2019t advise you to trust you completely. It\u2019s called estimation for a reason. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>You can understand how quality of traffic changes by looking at your bid. By bidding higher, you\u2019ll receive more traffic there for the quality will go up as well. By bidding lower, you\u2019ll get basically the remains of the traffic where the quality is not expected to be high.<\/p>\n<p>The higher the bid, the more traffic you can expect to buy, and higher numbers of \u201cfresh\u201d users you will get. In other words, your chances to get conversions will increase accordingly. All collerated to the payout of your offers. Of course, the payout dictates the margin of your profit. Take that into consideration as well when bidding.<\/p>\n<p>The maximum score of the <strong>Average Position<\/strong> is 1.0.<\/p>\n<p>This is the perfect score, which means that you beat all bids of your competitors, and now visitors will see your advertisement on first.<\/p>\n<p>If the <strong>Average Position<\/strong> is 3 or less (that is, from 1.0 to 3.0), you can consider yourself in a good position.<\/p>\n<p>You will get the biggest number of visitors who haven\u2019t yet been overwhelmed with ads shown to them in the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>The Average Position of 3.0 &#8211; 4.5 score indicates that you are in a range of ad impressions which reduces your chances of conversion.

This is not good as some of them might be actually profitable for you.<\/p>\n<p>An optimization only based on the registered domain simply won&#8217;t good enough.<\/p>\n<p>Now, thanks to a breakdown up to sources and sub-sources you can by far improve your optimization.<\/p>\n<p>How to create a Source white or blacklist we already spoke of in the section when discussing Sources. While speaking about Sources and Sub-sources let\u2019s also discuss an extra-option for optimization.<\/p>\n<p>When your campaign is launched it receives no more than 5% of possible traffic from each Source, and no more than 1% from a Sub-source.<\/p>\n<p>This restriction is made to avoid situations when immediately after a campaign launch you receive tons of traffic from the biggest sources which don\u2019t really fit your offer.<\/p>\n<p>However, after the campaign has run for some time and received conversions, you can remove this restriction from the suitable for your offer.<\/p>\n<p>In my example, I will show you how to proceed with removing this restriction.<\/p>\n<p>Go to the Statistics page.<\/p>\n<p>There all your Sources are marked with a yellow dot.<\/p>\n<p>If you move your mouse over this yellow dot, you will see that traffic volume from a Source represents 5%.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"410\" class=\"size-large wp-image-16875 aligncenter\"

and useful features.<br \/>\nPersonally, I like its modern interface, convenient reports and optimization features.<\/p>\n<p>You can build reports based on many various parameters.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, if you connect your PlugRush account with a partner network, you will be able to pass your tracker data (conversions) directly to PlugRush interface.<\/p>\n<p>This will save you time and make it easier to analyze and optimize data right there on the spot.<\/p>\n<p>And last, but not least, you can also create an automatic optimization rules.<\/p>\n<p>The quality of traffic can be seen from the results of my test campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Some GEOs converted almost immediately and showed a positive ROI without any optimization from my side.<\/p>\n<p><img
