who paid for all the clicks?

 

[Louie V]

Yeah, who paid for all the click?

 

[Binom Tracker]

who paid for all the clicks?

Please don't pay for the fake clicks
Solutions:
- MagicChecker integration
- Mobile bots detection feature
- Make your own distribution rules based on the events statistics

 

[Binom Tracker]

That is not an answer --the clicks happened and someone gets charged?
Trackers well, track ... The source of the traffic has the problem.
I keep asking what traffic sources will allow me to only whitelist -- few have answered the call -- why is that?

I read that bot article and it is all true and well known --but what is the real point?
Who wants to argue with a traffic source about being charged for bot all of the time. That is like demanding that your rapist wear a condom

ADDING THE PERCENTAGE OF MOBILE BOTS << that's good detect headless just like a media query

BTW I saved that page with a simple 'headless' wget 'bot'

Hey Graybeard,
Thanks for your comment, you are definitely right.
This problem really has a place to be. It comes from the traffic source publishers side, who show up with more and more sophisticated methods of traffic cheating. The solutions we offer don’t provide a 100% guarantee, but can significantly reduce the amount of fake traffic you get.

Best wishes,

You may clarify the counts but the true cost do not change -- maybe what you are trying to say is: see how much you get cheated out of?

Not quite right. The solutions we offer provide you the data you could use to make better targeting at the ad network side. You see which specific publishers sending you the bot traffic, or maybe which geos, ips, devices, you need to exclude at the ad campaign settings.

Guys,
What's your experience with TDS optimization?
Have you ever faced a significant ROI increase after re-distribution of your traffic?

[Graybeard]

You (the ad buyers) are paying for the fake traffic and the tracker is just detecting it?
So, what exactly is the point -- you can see a discrepancy?
Demand a refund or adjust your REAL cost of REAL traffic perhaps?

GI=>GO
Look, if the traffic is 10% bots $1 CPM is costing $1.10, 40% would be $1.40 -- so what is the 'toleration level' -- which is really the real $cost.

LP CTR is the offer's server landing page?
801/496.79
1.61
(801/496.79)/.4168
3.86 <<<cost of real traffic?

I don't see any savings here -- just an argument with the traffic provider >>> @ 50.3% loss you are being scammed or the traffic provider is incompetent.

There is room for 'something' error of maybe 5% or 10% that is user behavior related (possibly).

You may clarify the counts but the true cost do not change -- maybe what you are trying to say is: see how much you get cheated out of?

UPDATE 1.13 - 22.04

Hey guys,

I am publishing this a little late, but I have to. The update was released around MAC19 conference, i.e. 10th of April, and some of you have already been updated. Who has not - welcome, no worries here. There are probably no super breakthrough changes in it (stay tuned), but the number is decent - 46 updates.

Measured NPS (customer loyalty index) was 77% for the last update, now it’s 82%. This is very, very cool. For comparison, MacBook has 76%.

For something useful it’s an adaptive layout, now you can quite comfortably use the tracker directly from the browser on mobile phones. At the same time, unlike applications, all the functionality of the tracker is available. Customers praise it, although there are still some minor bugs.

Visualization of comparative days
If a date is selected on a date, the schedule compares the current day stats with yesterday's relative. Yesterday is showed dotted. It’s convenient to check which sites the traffic sank on, or compare days by the hour.

Multistreaming for database
It makes a significant enhance in the efficiency of handling clicks. We enable this feature manually for clients with large traffic flows. So if you have millions of clicks a day - well. As I learned at the MAC conference, many affiliate teams and affiliate networks (media buying departments) work with Binom. Now it will be even more comfortable.

Conversion Logs
Many people have asked for this feature, and finally, we did it. There you can see the status, time, postback, IP for your conversions.

Removing conversions

MAC 2019
MAC conference was really nice and successful. We talked with about 700 people! Shared 200 coupons. Personally, I really enjoyed it, I feel the positive client feedback, a lot of useful suggestions, many complimentary words, yeah, it’s amazing. Hope for sales too.

Full list of updates

We've been using Binom for a year, after having used several other trackers (including Voluum), and we have been very happy with the speed, reliability, features, and support.

Binom. All you need to know about servers: selection, installation, maintenance

This article consists only of server’s functioning but not of self-hosted tracking’s advantages over cloud solutions. Firstly, it has to be underlined that everything concerning servers is not complicated for understanding at all. In 99% of cases, once you have set up a tracker, you will never do anything again, moreover the installation takes no more than half an hour. We have put together the best practices of selection, installation and maintenance in order to help you in guidance and dispelling myths that self-hosted are meant to be perplexing.

Server selection

While choosing a server, we recommend you to pay attention on two things, in particular: traffic volume which you are planning to drive through the tracker and GEO.

Traffic volume

Let’s look into traffic volume. Over the years of practice we accumulated the analysis concerning the selection of the servers, thus, now we can rely on the experience of the hundreds of affiliates. That’s why volume must be kept in mind. The volume has its influence on the price for infrastructure. We divide conditionally the volume into: till 1 000 000 clicks per 24 hours as mild, and at 1 000 000 per 24 hours as large.

Mild volume

All that includes 1 000 000 clicks per day is perfectly working on a virtual servers (VPS).

To the best of our knowledge, we recommend a certain list of providers which are good at multitasking and they are user-friendly.

Digital Ocean – American provider with 12 data centres. Partly, It’s blocked in Russia because of Telegram messenger.

Vultr – 16 data centres in 16 cities.

Hetzner Cloud – servers in Germany and Finland. Prices start at 3 euros.

In our opinion, Digital Ocean is the most friendly provider in terms of using, in fact, it is the most technologically advanced. And if you do not have any special requirements, we recommend to use this one. We provide 50$ discount with promo code for the first month. There is one thing must be kept in mind, DO is not for you if you are going to drive traffic within Russia for reasons of Roskomnadzor’s blocking. Unfortunately, the other hosting services would be at risk, remember that.

For even better understanding which configuration is for you, read our documentation.

In the Table you can find the minimum requirements for a server.

Large volume

If you have dedicated server it would be cheaper. And if the volume is growing up and go beyond a million per day , so it is reasonable to set up a dedicated server and save every month on the infrastructure.

To the best of our knowledge, we recommend:

OVH – French provider which has 27 Data Centres in 19 countries. Dedicated servers’ prices start at 66 euros.

Hetzner – German quality, dedicated servers’ prices start at 40 euros.

Despite the quality of both providers, our recommendation is close to Hetzner due to its price and high performance.

In our documentation we have highlighted the process of choosing the server and spread out the recommendations according to the volume. It can help for more accurate solution.

GEO

Let’s talk about location for your servers.

First of all, it must be noticed, if it is possible, do set up the server close to the country where you are going to work, if not – don’t worry, location is not a matter of major significance.

If you drive traffic all over the world, that would be enough to have a server in Europe for decent functioning.

For most traffic types milliseconds which could be won while setting up a server closer to the user, do not show statistically important changes of conversion rates. Besides, such options as LP Pixel and Click API help you do not worry about the location at all.

If you work with the large volume of pop-under traffic, and the improvement of percentage of key indicators are justified for you, that makes sense to set up an additional server which is close to the country where you are working.

It is important to note that if you are using Russian traffic, it would be better to set up the server which is located in Russia because of unpredictable Roskomnadzor’s blocking.

We recommend Selectel provider.


Tracker installation

To set up a server is even easier than to choose it. Do not be afraid of it – you are an affiliate! The skill of setting up the server infrastructure, understanding how the Internet works, these things are important for you! However, if you do not want to spend time on the installation, we can do it for you.

Installation via support

We appreciate our users. So do not be shy to get in touch with us, we are always ready to help you with the selection and installation. After your request, we will ask you about:

Server access. We need your server’s IP, root and password. All these things you can find at the administrator panel of your provider.

Domain name binded to your server. We recommend NameCheap where the prices for domain names start at 1$ apiece. If you do not know how to link domain name to the server, you can find this information on how to do it in our doc.

Tell us your time zone for the correct presentation of statistics.

That is all. Now we install the tracker, and you wait till the installation is finished.

Installation in automated mode

It is possible to install it by yourself, just start the auto mode. This process takes 10-20 minutes and then the tracker will be ready for use. There is one thing: auto mode functions properly only if the server is clean. That means since you’ve set up the server, the following step must be setting up the tracker. If you have already had some projects, sites, blogs or something else, the auto mode won’t work.

There are two simple steps here:

Connect to the server. If you have problems, tap the documentation.

Follow the automated mode’s instructions. It is quite simple, however if you still have some questions, we made video guide.

Installation in manual mode

Use the manual mode if you really understand the situation. In case, you do not know why you need it – do not choose it, it is preferable to use an automated mode or contact us for help.

In case, you want to go manual mode, you can find all requirements in doc. There is full instruction step-by-step as well. Note – any questions will appear, contact us!

The maintenance of a server and diagnostics

After many years of work, we can say, if the tracker was installed properly and server carefully selected in accordance with your traffic volume, nothing else needed to be done. Everything will operate sustainably, like a clock. However there are some recommendations which you might want to follow, especially, they are not complicated.

Read messages from your server provider

Every server provider might have some malfunctions and planned diagnostic exercises. This doesn’t happen often and, in general, you will are warned in advance. Be attentive, this might help you to adjust your work. Check messages sent by your provider and do not ignore them.

Monitor the traffic

Tracker will warn you automatically if server is overloaded.

At that point, you have to adjust your server’s configuration, as a rule, it takes no more than 2 clicks and we are pleased to support you concerning a specific configuration. Keep in mind that – the more people from your team work with a tracker, the more they load a server.

Monitor your domains

In general, the domain name is lent for a year, then, if you don’t renew, you can’t use it, meaning domain names are no longer point to your server. Providers always let you know when your domains are about to expire – so pay attention. We recommend to turn on automatic extension and forget about it for good.

If you still have questions concerning the server’s selection, installation or support, please, text us, we know everything about servers!

Update 1.14 - 13.03


What's new?


Integration with Traffic Sources (strange matches )
So far, there are some pop sources and a few native. In the future, we will add Facebook, Google, and even more native sources. So far, we integrated:
ExoClick
PropellerAds
AdCash
PopAds
ZeroPark
Clickadu
TrafficStars
PopCash
PlugRush
SelfAdvertiser
MGID
RevContent
At the beginning there are only basic features: linking matching campaigns, start/stop and changing the bid, where it is possible.

n the next update we will add white and black lists, balances (you can setup notifications, which is very helpful), and cost synchronization.
In general, there is a large field for work, both in terms of new features and traffic sources support. A lot of hard work, but also a lot of convenience in the end. The API capabilities are huge and supported be almost all traffic sources. And in conjunction with triggers system this will be a blast. Stuff like <publisher rule> -- > add the publisher to the white list.


Code editor
I recall my long-standing desire to edit landing pages directly from the tracker. This would be very convenient, I thought, when I was running campaigns myself. We decided to implement it. In addition to the editor itself, there is also a built-in file client. You can use it to view files on your server with tracker, or connect via FTP to a third-party server. Tracker will remember the location of the land page even on an external server.

Landers grabber
Sometimes you have to steal the landing page. Now it's easy, you can even grab them in bulk. The feature is not perfectly, you can say it is in beta-mode, but it's working. Should you have any issues with it – send them to support, we will work on it. Again, it is convenient to edit grabbed land pages with our new code editor.

Auto-Clearings
This feature was asked by many with large traffic. All you need is set the time interval and the data is purging itself.

Full list of changes
- Multithreading algorithms, increased speed and stability
- Deeper Integration with traffic sources
- Grab Landers - Landing copy feature (doc)
