Alternate Traffic Source beside Decisive

Hi All, can anyone recommend an alternative traffic source that is similar to Decisive for scaling or testing. Am a mobile newbie here!
Thanks in advance.

And the reason for not trying Decisive is?

I did tried Decisive, but just a bit skeptic. I sent 800 click but only get 1 conversion. My AM said the offer was one of the top but I got some feedback from STMers that the offer sucks.
Considering many newbies might be competing on Decisive, I am planning to test another traffic source "parallelly" with a new offer to justify my thought.

I think running one campaign is not enough to rule Decisive out.

I can assure you Decisive works and if you will run on other RTBs you will get access to pretty much the same inventory.

I would stick to Decisive for now, we recommend it because the traffic is good and the interface is easy to use.

I feel ur payne, im also a noob, folowed the cookbook with aprox 12 different offers with landing page, without lp, app install offers, email submits etc, in total 3-4k hits to the offers and not one had converted.
I know that decisive works and has good traffic as i read most of the forum and saw lots of people having succes with them. i am starting to think im either "slow" or i just missed something...
I get allways stuck at the part where i need to optimize and block some places which didnt convert , as i am never having any conv I dont know what to do and end up starting a new offer, with high hopes then get instantly demorilised when i spend 60$ aprox and not getting any leads...

Any tips on how to get the good quality traffic? From my experience 60%+ of my traffic were bots.

Apart from blacklisting a few apps / sites that never seem to convert, you have to optimize placements manually.

Once you find good performing sites / apps create a new camp and just select these and you can bid higher.

There must be something wrong with the offers you are running and a smaller chance of something wrong with the landers you use.

The first step would be to run offers you are 100% sure are top converters ( ask your AM for offers doing the most volume network wide ).

For the landers , do some spying to see what competition is doing and try to improve on that.

I had a similar issue with three different offers. Do you mind telling what some potential problems could be (or things to look for) if you know that the offers are actually converting (and you are sure tracking is working)?

Hi @bbrock32, how are you?

there is a list of apps and sites that you always blacklisting? (maybe because they never convert for any offer, maybe because there are only many bots traffic, etc.)

There pretty easy to spot even very early in your first campaigns. One of them is definitely Grindr.
