Source Optimizer

The source optimizer can automatically optimize your campaign based on your CPA, CTR, and Bounce rate data information.

Knowing your traffic quality is crucial in determining which traffic sources are working for you and which ones are just wasting your money.

This article explains how to set up your source optimizer.

In the pop-up window that appears, you’ll see by default the general settings. Give the source optimizer a name.

Choose your filter type, the source optimizer can be used on ad zone, global or ISP level.  By default, the option is set to the ad zone level.

You can set a minimum spending limit to ensure that you don’t spend more than you’re comfortable with. If you set a minimum spending limit, the optimizer will automatically start to run when your limit is reached.

You can set a maximum number of days that the optimizer can show the statistics. Once that number of days passes, the source optimizer will no longer use the statistics to calculate the results.

You can set a start date from which start point the optimizer must use the statistics to calculate the results.

The checkboxes for the registrations and conversions can be used to set a margin, expressed as a percentage and, in effect, measure how much out of CPA a traffic source actually keeps in earnings. 20% margin, then, means to keep the traffic source running in the background.

Choose your CTR Optimizer settings

Instructions

When creating a CTR Optimizer, you may want to optimize your clickable ad. Using the “CTR Optimizer” setting, you can tell EroAdvertising to optimize campaigns after custom minimum / maximum CTR and/or impressions.

Note: This option only works when used with clickable ads and when your minimum spending goals are not reached yet.

Note:
If you see some discrepancies between the number of visits in your EroAdvertsing account and the conversion pixel, then please keep in mind that the bounce rate optimizer starts to autoblock traffic sources before the webpage is fully loaded.
