$30 Daily Budget Consumed within 1 Hour by PropellerAds

Are you experiencing the same case with PropellerAds that your daily budget is consumed within an hour?

I set the Ad Delivery to Distributed with a $30 budget, but after several minutes, I saw that the budget is almost consumed.

I noticed this with my 5 campaigns before and didn't mind, but today when I monitor it, it happens again.

Is this normal?

Ive got the same question! It happens to me too with Zeropark but it takes 3-4 hours for all the budget to get consumed !

Propeller can be vicious... I've set my budget at $10 and when I looked a few hours later it was nearly at $70.

How was the traffic though? Many conversions for that $30 spend?

Hi,

I sent propellerads the below ticket
Hello, the campaign is spending way over the daily budget.
Campaign Id :
Daily Budget: $20
Actual Spent: 27.91
Campaign Id:
Daily Budget:$10
Actual Spent:$19.28
Why is it spending more that the budget?

Hello.
This happens when you set low daily budget. We recommend to set $30 daily so the system will have time to stop traffic in time and prevent overflow. We've forwarded your request to our responsible department, when we have an update on it, we will contact you.

Looks like they need a minimum of $30 to be able to stop that traffic.

Yeah I remember they sent me the same message. Basically, their system struggles to stop spend which is a real problem for testing the waters when you want to start a few camps with $5 budgets and assess a few hours later.

It happens to me also. There's an overspending on some of my campaign.

The $30 spend returns nothing.

I even have some experience that my AM told me that the advertiser didn't register my conversions properly. I spend more than $150 on that campaign on PropellerAds using SmartCPA. After several days, my AM told me that I got 95 conversions. That was supposed to be the first winning campaign that I have.

Do you guys experience the same scenario that the conversions are not registered properly? I read some article (I just forgot the link) that they can manipulate the result. Which I believed, then can.

Propeller inventory is huge. Other then overspending over a specific daily/campaign budget, even when excluding one zone you still keep on receiving traffic from it in the next minutes. They sure have some good traffic quality, but one has to carefully follow-up on their campaigns to keep them under control.
I think bidding under the suggested bid range would help make things easier in order to control some of their traffic and not waste overall budget on a placement that will only result in loss.
