Strange thing happened

Hi everybody,

Yesterday I launched a campaign (app install for Android in South Africa - other countries were allowed) following the Appetiser method so I used Go2Mobi as TS and Adsbridge as a tracker. After a couple of hours I had (approximately) 200 clicks on the banners and 40 clicks on the CTA button of the landing page (on top of that most of them were from the directlinking path) but 0 conversions. Looking at the data I saw that a lot of users came not only from South Africa but also from Ivory Coast and other counties. In order to remove a doubt in my head I decided to try and launch the campaign not in South Africa but in the USA for half an hour.

In 30 minutes I had 250 clicks on the banners, 40 clicks on the CTA button, 0 conversions but all from Yemen (and other Tier3 countries) instead of USA!

What do you think about it? Where is the mistake? (Yes I checked on the traffic source, and I set the Geo targeting in the right way)

Talking about the dreadful campaign, since most of the people, didn't click on the CTA button I suppose it was because of my lander, maybe it wasn't optimised for every device. I'm currently studying the data to see if this could be true. Any suggestion is strongly appreciated

Thanks

Definitely put in a support ticket to G2M. Include screenshots of your stats to show which geos the traffic has been coming from.

I have the same experience with Go2mobi, fake traffic from bad countries.

@vortex: Done, but I guess I'll receive some information on monday, because today they don't work

@azureus: So I'm not alone. I think this proves that it's an issue with the traffic source. Anyway I'm not sure if it is bad traffic. In my tracker I have a "bot visits" column and it was reported 0 so it makes me think that the traffic was real but the TS launched tha campaign in the wrong places.

Thank god I stopped the campaign almost immediately

In case you are 100% sure the settings are correct, it will be an issue with go2mobi, pause the campaigns and wait for a reply from them. It's a shame the issue occurred during the weekend, but that's how it usually is ... good old Murphy's laws
