Overview
AADS offers three payment models: CPA (cost per action), and CPD (cost per day).
We used to allow mixing all of them in a single campaign, but for the sake of simplicity and better campaign management, we decided to move away from this approach.
Now, each campaign has only one payment model, which defines its type: CPA, or CPD. You can see it on the user dashboard.
How to choose the campaign type?
You choose the payment model upon campaign creation.
Cost per day
Our default payment model is CPD (cost per day): advertisers pay for the share of traffic of the targeted ad units.
We recommend this payment model because it has several advantages:
- your expenses and campaign pace are predictable and uniform;
- you control which ad units display your ads (and you can check it);
- you don’t pay for fake traffic: publishers can’t deplete your budgets by faking impressions, and your competitors - by clicking your ads.
The major drawback of this payment model is the limited targeting capabilities, so it is most suitable for global advertising campaigns. Please see a more detailed explanation of CPD campaigns here.
Cost per action
CPA and Revenue sharing campaigns enable advertisers to optimize their campaigns by rewarding the ad units that attract paying customers.
This option is available only to trusted advertisers who integrate with our server-to-server API.
