Targeting: settings to direct traffic and influence its volume
In a nutshell, targeting helps you narrow the traffic for your campaign. There are multiple settings that determine the direction of traffic, which affects its amount.
Main and other parameters
You can set up the needed locations and devices for your ads.
In case you need all traffic, for example, traffic from all available browsers—just leave the fields blank.
Use Device Vendors, Languages and IP2 Location type filters only if they are really important. This can drastically reduce the traffic you receive.
GEO targeting
Geographical targets can be set as countries and regions. Countries lets you select your desired countries you want your traffic for.
You can select one or multiple countries at once. You can set the GEO location in two ways:
Manual mode. Choose the needed GEO and connection type manually.
IP Ranges mode. Just enter the needed IP ranges. They need to be separated by comma without spaces. Example: 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.5 or 192.168.2.0/8. All of the IP range formats can be combined.
Please note
If none of the countries are selected, your campaign will buy traffic from all countries.
Certain countries have an additional geographical option called Regions. This option helps you narrow your traffic down to a specific region.
Selecting Regions unlocks an option to be even more specific and lets you select Cities.
Connections
ℹ️ Connection type lets you select, what type of internet connection target device should be on in order for the ad to be displayed.
- LAN / Wi-Fi (wired connection)
- Mobile carriers
ℹ️ Carriers (available with Mobile carriers connection type and countries chosen): Choose a carrier or several of them for your campaign. Only the ones available in the chosen country will appear in the list.
Devices
ℹ️ Device type: The ad will be displayed only on the chosen device preset.
ℹ️ Device vendors (available with Mobile and/or Tablet device type): Your ad will be shown only at the specific vendor devices.
ℹ️ Operating systems let you limit your targeting to the devices with specific operating systems on board. You can also specify the version of each operating system you choose.
ℹ️ IP2 location type: Your ad will be shown at the devices using the IP2 Location database.
Languages
The Languages selection lets you choose, what lingual demographic do you target. User's device language also matters.
Note that language list is not affected by previously selected GEO targets.
Please, consider choosing your GEO/Language targets in harmony. For instance, if your campaign is GEO targeted at Poland, but your landing Language is Thai, it would probably generate very little if no traffic at all.
