inMobi bids?

hi everyone

approximately what bid range(s) have you found to win a good amount of traffic on non-US, targeted campaigns?

currently running in the UK and having some trouble receiving impressions on an android OS targeted campaign.

have already tried contacting inmobi regarding this with no luck, please advise.

They aren't cheap at all. Each country will have different bids, some countries you need to spend 0.20 - 0.25 CPC to see impressions.

Their minimum bids are deceiving

Guys I have an issue with InMobi, hope you can give me some hints.
I usually test at the same time 10 banners for each campaign, but what happens is that all the clicks go to 1 or 2 banners.

The only way to equally test all the creatives is to check stats and constantly pause/resume them ?

I generally put them in separate ad groups ( so I can also pass the banner name manually on the tracking link ).

Also , to make the best out of inmobi and every other source , get a rep and talk to him. It's worth it!

I ran some pure exposure campaigns there for a client of mine around half a year ago. Get in contact to them over linkedin and you should be easily able to get a rep on Skype. Had 2 different reps who aren't with the company anymore according to their linkedin profiles anymore, but they were easy to get a hold on and always around.

To get the __si__cb variable working you need first them to enable it. Normally it's for pubs spending 5k a month at least ( not 100% sure of the number ).
However just get them on skype and they will set it up for you.

Just tell her without tracking you can't spend anything. On the flip side if she enables it you can do more than that.

This generally does the trick.

i was able to get it enabled after making a few deposits of $500...sometimes you have to ask more than one person.

Damn I have another issue with Inmobi

I sent 1000 clicks from Germany (Smartphones, except Android and iOS, WIFI only) and i got 90% of clicks geo-redirected elsewhere, as they were not coming from Germany according to the aff. network.

Did It Ever Happen to You ?

Never happened to me , but if you have the IPs that's enough proof to get a refund.

Yes you can, but why limit your traffic when you can get the whole package and then pause bad traffic later ?
