Traffic Cost is Different from Tracking... Any ideas why???

Hello stackers,

I have my tracking set up with Voluum and my traffic source is PopAds

The spend on my PopAds account is significantly higher than what Voluum is tracking...

Is this typical?

If not anybody any advice on how to fix that?




Thanks!

ps does anybody know or have a reference that explains how Voluum "talks" to a traffic source like PopAds?

What you have just experienced is called click loss and it's pretty typical.

There is some % of traffic that did not hit Voluum, therefore the costs send to Voluum are less too.

Nothing much can be done about it, but what you can do is to use the Update costs feature in Voluum to have your costs aligned with Popads.

Yup, the infamous click/traffic loss - as Erik told you it's caused by bots partially, then there is some traffic that gets lost because of connectivity problem and part of it is just fake traffic.

The good part is, the loss is usually pretty stable from day to day, so just adjust the price setting in Voluum and make it a bit higher. It's one of the annoyances of the AM biz that you need to get used to.
