AirPush issues?!

So i just loss more than 2.5k in a few hours with airpush.

I tried Icon Ads for the first time.

I had 13,527 clicks with $0.010 cpc...but my spent got up to almost 3k.

13,526* 0.01=~135$ ( the actual amount that i need to pay)

So i have a gap of 2865$.

At the network stats i see : 4,664 clicks.

Anyone had similer issues with them?

You had 13,527 clicks or icon installs? Remember that you are paying per install (CPI).

Sound more like you had 300,000 installs of which 13,526 (4.5%) just clicked. Keeping Airpush click discrepancy in mind, the result would be 4,664 clicks registered at your network.
If it happened today.. you can expect to see bits of traffic trickling in until next month.

Somthing important: How much is your daily budget cap?

15,100,2000,20k daily budgets...i had big misunderstanding with my AM.

I change it every couple of hours and eventually i went to gym and got this loss.

It's mostly my fault, but the lack of correspondence with my current AM definitely didn't help as well.

i asked her about overbudget and she told me that they wont charge more than 10% of the current budget.

What i missed from her...": unless the budget was charged in the past 24 hours"...

Anyway...i dont think that all this matter is clear.... i can see other people having the same mistake again without the "right" AM that will tell them to avoid it.

ahhh...i needed to change my current AM long time ago...

You need to understand how Airpush works. They send out I think 2-3 big pushes during the day, I have the info saved somewhere, ask your AM at what time they send it out. If your budget is set to let's say $1000 during that period and you change it later on to $100 this won't have much effect as the traffic was 'sent' or 'pushed' already. Overspend is quite common with sources using push as delivery method as there is no possibility to suddenly stop traffic like CPM networks on web for instance / mobile display.

Not really...but i learn from this event.

I should insist more from day 1 to change my AM.
