Pop ads are the perfect choice for newbies in the sphere. Pop traffic stands out by low bid prices and huge traffic volumes.

• Use spy tools services. It’s necessary if you don’t want to miss any popular offer that shows nice results.

7. There are different types of pop traffic. How to choose the appropriate one for my offer?

There are 3 types of pop traffic: popup, popunder, and clickunder.

Popup. This format is effective but quite obsessive. The new window appears against the user’s will and may irritate them. Moreover, popups are usually blocked by special software and ignored by users. In this case, it’s better to use special offers that are targeted at the audience of a certain website. Thus your campaign will be the most effective.

Popunder & Clickunder. Popunders and clickunders are less compulsive. This page should be as attractive as possible to catch the user’s attention. But still, these types of pop ads will work only with segments of products or services interesting for a broad group of customers.

8. Is it difficult to prepare converting landing pages for pop traffic?

In pop campaigns you don’t have to use creatives, so, all the efforts should be aimed at landing pages.

• Prepare clear and vivid slogans. Don’t make your messages too complicated, avoid implications.
• Use a call-to-action button. Place it at the top of the page and use a simple message with figures and bonuses.
• Don’t forget about the loading speed. The page should load until the user clicks and closes the popup or popunder window.
• Add triggers that will motivate users to make target action. Place them in thematic blocks (guarantees, contacts, delivery, etc).
• Think about the combination of design and content. Which component prevails depends on the sphere of the product/service.

What pitfalls should I assume while working with pop traffic?

You may think that pop traffic is the perfect type of ads with no disadvantages at all. But it’s not as simple as that.

• Often closed by users. It means quite a low engagement rate.
• Intrusive ad type. Popups and popunders may distract users from their activity and block on a subconscious level.
• Lots of bots and spam. This ad type influences brand reputation. Be careful not to harm and not to get negative effects.
• Pops can be blocked. Often pop ads are blocked by special instruments on Chrome and Firefox.

10. How to optimize my pop campaign effectively?

While working with a pop campaign you can optimize the user’s profile and traffic source.

Optimizing users’ profiles try to change the following parameters taking into account the data and conversions from the tracking tool: city & region, device, OS, browser, etc.

Also, you can optimize the traffic sources. To make it in RichAds you can use special flagship features, for example, Automated rules and Micro bidding. Automated rules allow creating automatic settings for black and white lists according to different parameters. Micro bidding helps to set up different bids for different parameters of one campaign.

Also, we recommend creating separate campaigns for mobile and desktop traffic to identify which type converts better.
