Trafficjunky please for the love of god.. change the bidding system. I run 15 or so geos - RON at same time, 2 offers in each. It is extremely time consuming to manipulate all the bids manually.
Its very very hard to change the bids. Can you at least for new campaigns allow the bids to be entered numerically on the campaign creation page at once, instead of manually clicking each placement and entered bid for each.
I am publicly voicing my opinion on this instead of going thru support in hoping to get more votes for this change.
PS: Love your traffic.
Hi Johner911
We do know about this issue and are trying to find ways to improve the way bids are updated.
The reason for the popup is that 90% of bidders will want to see the competing bids before adjusting theirs.
Doing it on the creation page as you suggest will mean doing a blind bid.

Hi Anton thank you for your reply. I understand your point. But to put it in perspective. You guys have 3 different types of traffic (desktop, mobile, tablet) that need to be targeted separately, then 3 or so different niches (gay, straight, female friendly I think), so to get 1 complete coverage on a country for a unisex , uniplatform offer, that's 9 campaings for 1 country.
Lets say we also do 3 different bid strategies - high bid low cap, mid bid 3 cap, low bid unlimited cap. We're now at 9*3 = 27 campaigns - for 1 geo.
If you enable numeric entering of bids, people can still click on the competing bids page and see where they stand and adjust it,
or they can just enter the bid that gives them the desired ROI (provided that the bid is competitive).
In normal scenario if someone calculates that he is profitable at 0.2$ cpm and unprofitable at 0,21$ cpm,
he will not set 0,21$ no matter what the competitive bids are.
Hi Johner911,
It does make sense.
We are actually looking for a way to accommodate both approaches (blind bidding and bidding with the bid table).
