Notes & Best Practices

  • A news app placement which offers a diverse and big audience with different interests. Yet, the key to make in-app traffic work is to change creatives on a regular basis - more often than you would normally do when running a campaign on websites. The reason behind it is that the audience is less diversified on in-app than on web traffic

  • Ad Space IDs, Creatives, OS and OS versions, States and Cities, Device Models and Brands - pay special attention to these reports when optimizing your campaign

  • Avoid promising/unrealistic claims in headlines with weight loss offers e.g. “Woman Reveals Simple Fat Burning Secret She Used To Lose 98LB In 3 Week”, “How This Woman Lost 98 lbs of Body Fat With Zero Exercise”

  • In English written headlines the first letter of each word should be capitalized:

    YES: 5 Unbelievable Books You Won't Believe Exist

    NO: 5 Unbelievable books you won't believe exist

    In other languages, please use their own grammar rules.

  • Excessive use of capitalization, punctuation, or symbols is prohibited.
