Decisive Traffic Problem?

Hey guys,

I've just started running mobile traffic through decisive and haven't had any problems until now. For my first campaign im targetting only Australia however when i went to check my stats on Voluum it says i've had 85 clicks from the US (as well as a few from a few random countries) out of 200 clicks, i'm also targeting for Android only and have had 45 IOS(Apple) clicks as well.

That's a huge chunk of traffic coming through that's outside of the targeting options that i chose and that my offers won't work for, has anyone else had the same problem?

Double check your targeting. Same thing happened to me and it was some sort of bug where I made the changes but didn't save them properly or something.

I ran like $50 worth of Portuguese ads in Turkey... I'm balling in mad turkish monopoly money now

Thanks Fabian, yeh i've checked the targeting and it is all right, im not losing much out of it but ill keep a close eye on all my future campaigns and see if it happens again or not.

Lol, i wonder if such a miss-targetted ad would get curiosity clicks

If you see problems like this it's always worth contacting the traffic source and asking what's up. Often you'll be able to get either a refund or a clue as to problems elsewhere.

Contact a rep from decisive and show him the stats they can help you out with that also there are Bots on Decisive you need to keep cutting the traffic source from where you are getting such clicks
although it never happened to me
