Mobile traders are very concerned with the estimation of the financial efficiency of their promotional campaigns and achievements promoting on CPI basis (Cost per Install or per new customer). To evaluate the CPI it is possible to use a number of principles in order to learn the real outcome of the campaign efficiency.
