Mobile traffic like you've NEVER seen before! (61)

---

Hey STM - You're all here for one reason. To STACK THAT MONEY. InCrowd is here to help. We figured we'd start an official thread to help STM members get started and answer any questions.

InCrowd, has been in private beta for the better part of the year. We've had some top STM members buying on the platform tell us what they want in a mobile traffic source, and we consistently got the same feedback.

SCALE
Once you get a campaign, working you want to find as much traffic as you can. InCrowd sees over 1billion impressions PER DAY. We've got ton's of traffic internationally too. Scale your campaigns to the sky on our platform!



TRANSPARENCY
Not only do we show you where your spend is coming from, but we show it to you in REALTIME. See where every impression, click, and conversion is coming from up to the minute.



OPTIMIZATION
Easily block OS versions, carriers, sites or apps that aren't working for you. You can even use our super nerdy Smart CPM that will optimize your campaign to a CPA goal for you. (And if you prefer old school we also offer spending by CPC and CPM.)



We want to help you make more money. Through the end of November we're running an exclusive offer for STM members $70 free media with first funding of $500, so you can give our platform a test drive.

As one of our super affiliates says, "You almost make it TOO easy"

We're here to help you make that money! Hit us up if you want a walkthrough or have any questions.

---

Do you have adult traffic?

---

Hey Francis - Unfortunately we don't have adult traffic.

---

Thanks! I'm going to test some of your traffic with a mobile diet offer.

---

Very close to my campaigns CPA's, that i was running on incrowdads.
Considering that most mobile offers pays $0.5-2.5, very hard to profit.

---

You can get campaigns that run at VERY low CPA. I've seen campaigns that have run on the platform that have less than $.20. It just depends on the offer you're running, and whether you do any work blocking, placements, carriers, os versions, and dayparts that are under performing for you. Here's another screenshot from a test we ran internally.

---

Hey Andrea , that looks pretty neat!

I have one questions though , do you run internally?

---

@bbrock32

We run campaigns to test new traffic sources and new features (like the smart CPM). We actually have an internal company policy not run any campaign that competes with our advertisers.

Thanks for the question bbrock32

---

What type of ads do you have? Banners only?

---

@stackman

Yes Banners only.

Here are some of our most used sizes:

320x50
728x90
300x250
300x50
216x36

---

Awesome looks good!
I'll be hopping on the testing board too, looks like you've got a lot of traffic.

Do you have a rough % breakdown of how much is website vs app traffic?

---

@stackman Thanks! Happy to see you are going to give InCrowd a whirl!

Absolutely.

App ~ 60%
Website ~ 40%

---

thanks!

---

How do you calculate the daily impressions?
I mean I'm from Israel and we are about 8M here while stats says 44M impressions daily

---

Our counts are based on the number of impressions that we have available. Impressions aren't the best corollary to population. For example, if you play a mobile game for 15 minutes five mobile ads might be shown.

---

I've gotten a couple of requests from STMers about ad approval time. Even though it's a lazy Sunday, we're still approving ads. In most cases your ads will get reviewed in minutes. One of affils flat out told me that's one of the main reasons we're his go-to platform.

So keep on submitting, those ads. We'll get them approved ASAP!

---

$0.24 for Israel, $1.02 for UK - is this CPM or CPC?
Is it just me being stingy or is that not pricey traffic?

---

@ auditor - it's CPM. This is the average bidprice that affils are actually paying for the traffic in these countries.

---

Interesting stuff, keep it up looking forward to hearing some results

---

Hi,
I have tested few offers there and I have 2 suggestions.
I wish that I can upload conversion subids manually so I can see them in my report.
And when I try to blacklist non performing apps or sites, I wish that I can do it more than one at a time.
It is pain to go thru more than 100 pages.
I haven't found profitable campaign yet but I like it so far.
I wish that one of mods(Maybe Mr. Green) does the case study or follow along campaign with IncrowdAds.
Thank you.

---

Hey mate,

I will do a case study when I get my laptop back out of repair! I've got a few ideas already.

I've run one campaign where they were happy to upload subids if I wanted. In terms of blacklist non performing apps or sites, I would recommend breaking out your best performing apps and sites into individual campaigns. That way you can micro dominate.

---

Im liking the interface a lot and as previously mentioned approval times are fantastic. The suggestion drop down boxes for carriers and os are a bit "finicky". If i just wanted to target ios 5 and ios 6 i would have to select all versions inbetween which takes a while. The ability to target for example "ios 5+" in a single dropdown would be so much less clicking

The new "planner" page is priceless and gives a great insight whats got traffic

---

That is great feedback. We're really fast with new features, so I'll get the team on it.

PM me if you want us to take a look at one of your campaigns to make optimization suggestions.

---

This is good feedback too. I'm going to see what we can do about this!

---

I want to see the data yester day.

---

Also, when you make updates and we get that "reload now" pop up, it would be nice if you gave a one line description about the update. It's like Christmas, but I don't know where my presents are hiding.

---

Just registered under this username, looking forward to try your traffic

---

Is there any sort of frequency cap ?

---

This! When I wake up in the morning I like to see how campaigns did the day before.

---

Yeah the same here

---

Update: Found the problem. And if all goes well we will be back to normal traffic levels today.

Again my apologies.

---

Hey folks,

I hope everything is going well. We will be launching our weekly newsletter in August, full of advertising and tech news, trends, and more. To sign up, click here.

---

Can someone check if Decisive is working or is it just me? none of the menus are working for me at all

EDIT:Nevermind, CTRL + F5 to the rescue

---

Hey Folks,

Just a heads up that we had an incident earlier with blank ad pages. The problem has now been resolved. Check out our status page to read more on the incident: http://status.decisive.is/

---

The Decisive platform looks nice, but whatever code you guys are using on it for live reports (jquery? I don't know), makes it EXTREMELY slow. My internet is fast right now (75Mbps/75Mbps) and Decisive is still slow to load. I don't see why all of this code is necessary, since it comes with the expense of a slow interface. It's a pretty bad user experience for me: it's unnecessarily slow and takes too long for me to blacklist things. I think you guys should focus more on the functionality of the site rather than a fancy interface. That's my $0.02

---

@Mike

We understand your frustration. Over the next couple of months, we'll be improving the usability of the site, so thank you for your feedback.

---

Excellent news! Although it'll mean I end up doing less exercise, as currently I do stretches whilst waiting for my Decisive tabs to update

---

Hi Donte, I'm trying to run some campaigns on your platform but the carrier selection is really annoying. I'm doing carrier targetting with other platforms which is going fine, but how can I find "Sun Cellular" in your website? Apart from the fact the carrier selection is reaaaaaaaaaally slow when you enter a letter, the three names commonly used for this carrier are unable to find?

Another tip: select a country first and show the carriers of those countries thereafter. Makes life easier for us advertisers.

---

Hey,

Sorry for your troubles. We're aware of that missing carrier. I'll update you when it's on our platform. Also, we will be revamping our platform over the next couple of months, so your feedback is appreciated.

---

Hey Donte, how does diet USA do on your traffic?

---

Im having issues when selecting device OS's. I can select the first 3-4 OS types, and then it becomes excruciatingly slow when selecting additional OS types. Something to look into.

---

How long does it take to get traffic? 8 campaigns, ads got approved 18 hours ago, SmartCPM, $100 budget each and $800 in funds added, so far received: 5 impressions. Woohooo

---

What are you bidding and are you targeting tightly?

---

Either your SmartCPM bid is too low or your targeting is too tight.

Or there's something mysterious happening at Decisive's end. Worth contacting their support and asking them what's up - they want you to spend money, after all!

---

Did anybody tried diet offers on Decisive ? Wonder if its at least working there as there's no way to spy that

---

O RLY? xD

---

Hi Donte,

I'm interesting to tried decisive, is there any valid coupon for it?

Thanks and Regards,
dblog1

---

Hey, dblog1.

Currently, we don't have any promotion codes.

---

hi Dante, would like to ask
Jus launch my 1st campaign (will post on follow alon soon) following CAURMEN cookbook,
got 1 convertion from the stat i saw in my network, but at decisive got no convertion report at all.
Can you help me with this? Trying to evaluate traffic data.

---

So are you sending traffic directly from Decisive to your network affiliate link?

You will need to pass the bidhash using the {{{bidhash}}} token and then pass this value back in a postback URL.

It's a simple process but we can't help without more specific details - post a question in the Newbie Q&A section :-)

---

Thanks zeno, already use it.

---

The signup link (provided in the initial post 10 days ago) injects a promo code STM70 which is showing as expired

---

The initial post was a year and ten days ago, it's 2014 now!

---

Check the year :P

Hey Decisive, i have to vent a little bit, sorry in advance.

Been running campaigns again with you for about a week now... Traffic quality is good, volume is decent and i absolutely love the way its all set up so you can optimize in a clear and easy way. Big ups on that!

I ran traffic quite a bit with you when the source first came out as Incrowd. Left after a while because of the insane amounts of loading time, making me rage behind my keyboard trying to load stats.

Now back again, profitable on all my campaigns and quite happy with the traffic. But when i want to optimize, i can optimize 4 other networks in the time it takes me to optimize Decisive due to the horrible freezes and load times. Some tabs in the stats like "Creatives" has not succeeded in loading for me even once (trying different time frames, different browsers etc etc). When cloning a campaign, the window asking me if i want to clone the black/whitelists as well always freezes... The live stats from apps and sites take forever to load and often freezes as well. Editing a campaign keeps freezing when clicking the "save" button... The list goes on and on. It's just so aggrevating.

It doesnt matter what browser i use, or even when i try to use the wifeys computer. It's getting to a point where it feels like the time i invest hitting F5 is not worth it, where i could use that energy optimizing other campaigns.

Now i know you've heard this a lot, and hopefully you're working on improving it. Just wanted to let you know how i felt and the faster you fix this, the more customers will come piling in i think.

Cheers

---

Switch to a different DSP, almost all will have access to the same traffic as Decisive

---

Hi All,

Team Decisive is headed to Las Vegas for ASW (and the STM meetup of course)!

If you would like to set up a time to meet and discuss campaigns, feedback, or just hang out, we are there for you!

Feel free to pm me and we will set up a time (Sunday -Monday)!

---

My Creative reports on campaigns take forever to load or don't load at all. Is this normal? I remember having the same issue when I tested about half a year ago. Anyone else having the same issue?

I just can't access my banner stats (the visual portion), hence have no clue which banner design is winning.

---

I would say loading live reports is somewhat slow as of lately, we're also in the same country as you milobanski

Sometimes it takes up to 10 seconds or more to load live campaign reports. Perhaps it has something to do with the rapid growth Decisive is going through.

---

Hi Milobanski and rubenskitchen,

We have been working for a while on some backend changes that should speed it up. It's been part of a larger project and we hope to have everything much faster next month.
