How long the moderation of my campaign will take?

The moderation in RichAds goes 24/7.

In the daytime, the campaigns pass moderation maximum in 30-50 minutes. At night moderation may take up to 90 minutes.

Why was my campaign declined?

The most often reason for the decline is incorrect creative content. Here are the most frequent mistakes:

  1. Inconsistency between creative and offer (creative for casino and landing page with nutra).
  2. Using aggressive or too defiant visuals (intimate scenes or disguised genitals).
  3. Using shock creatives (nasty photos with symptoms or images of diseases, and vermins).
  4. Fraudulent offers (for example, “You are lucky, you won 1 million. To get your prize, pay the $5 commission with your credit card”).
  5. Use of unreliable facts (creatives with the following text are prohibited. “There are 3 viruses on your computer. Scan it immediately”).
  6. Mention of famous pharmaceutical brands (you can’t promote famous medicines (for example, antibiotics), mention famous brands (for example, No-Spa)).
  7. Use of forbidden content.

Know more about the reasons for creatives’ decline and find the full list of the prohibited content with the examples here.

My campaign has passed moderation but there is no traffic yet.

There are a few reasons:

  • your account is not active. It may happen if you launch your first campaign in our ad network. In this case, contact support or your personal manager.
  • too low bid, that’s why you don’t win in the bidding. Try to increase the bid size.
  • some campaign settings are contradictory. For example, if you’ve chosen desktop targeting for Android OS. In this case, your campaign will not be shown users until you fix the problem.
  • campaign schedule can be configured to start in another day or day or time of day. Check your schedule settings.

If you failed to set up your campaign on your own ask support or personal account manager for help.

I have paused my campaign but the money is still withdrawing. Why?

In push traffic, the payment is made not for impressions but the clicks. As soon as you won in the bidding your push notifications are sent to the users. If at that time the device was switched off the user will get push notification later when he switch the device on. Sometimes the user clicks the notification a few days after he gets it. If the user clicks on push notification the CPC will be written this very moment.

The money may be withdrawn after the user pauses the campaign if the user clicks push notification much later.

Do you have API?

Yes, in RichAds you can manage your campaigns via API. To set up this function contact your personal manager or support.
