Pay for conversions, not clicks
Two ways to buy results on Adexium. Auto CPA — target-based bidding that tunes CPM/CPC per traffic source to hit your cost-per-conversion goal, self-serve on every format. And CPA pricing — a fixed price per conversion on In-Page Push and Popunder, still in beta and granted on request.
How you get each one. CPA pricing is in beta and available on request rather than self-serve. It runs on direct-publisher In-Page Push and Popunder inventory only, so the volume behind it is a fraction of what CPM and CPC reach, and it works when the conversion you pay for sits early in your funnel — a registration or an install, not a deposit several steps later. Ask your account manager and we will tell you honestly whether your offer, geos and conversion event fit before you fund an account. Auto CPA bidding has no such limit: it is self-serve on every format and needs nothing but working conversion tracking.
CPM, CPC — and CPA in beta, on request
Pick the model that matches how much risk you want to carry. With CPA, the network carries it for you — which is exactly why we agree the conversion event with you before switching it on.
CPM
Classic reach buying. Best for prospecting at scale and formats where the view itself does the work — popunder, Mini App placements.
CPC
You pay only when a user clicks. Best when your landing page converts predictably and you want tight control over funnel cost.
CPA
You define the conversion via postback and the price you pay for it. No conversion — no charge. In beta on In-Page Push and Popunder, granted on request.
Fixed CPA price or an automated goal
Both options optimize for the same thing — your cost per conversion. They differ in who does the work.
CPA pricing
A billing model. You name the price of a conversion; Adexium delivers traffic and you are charged only for postback-confirmed conversions. The volume risk is on the network, not on your budget — so we enable it per account, once we agree the event and the geos.
- Beta, on request — In-Page Push and Popunder direct inventory
- Fits an early funnel event — a registration or an install, not a deposit
- Conversion defined by your S2S postback
Auto CPA bidding
A bidding strategy. Billing stays CPM/CPC, but instead of a fixed bid you set a target cost per conversion — and the bidder chases it per traffic source, like target-CPA bidding in Google Ads, on pop, push and Telegram inventory.
- Self-serve on all six formats, Web and Telegram
- Per-source optimization with automatic cutoff of overpriced sources
- Toggle Fixed bid ↔ Auto CPA per campaign, any time
How Auto CPA hits your target
No black box: here is what the bidder actually does with your goal.
1 · Set your target
Open any campaign, switch the bid strategy from Fixed bid to Auto CPA and enter your target cost per conversion. Requires conversion tracking — a 5-minute postback setup — and one registered conversion.
2 · Per-source bidding
For every traffic source, the bidder derives the bid from your target and that source’s real conversion rate. Sources that convert get bid up; weak ones get bid down automatically.
3 · Automatic cutoffs
A source whose realized CPA runs above 3× your target is dropped from the auction entirely — not just bid lower. Your budget stops flowing to traffic that misses the goal.
4 · Continuous learning
Conversion stats refresh every couple of minutes. A campaign with no history starts in a learning phase on a capped exploration budget, priced against what the inventory actually clears at rather than a blind ceiling, and graduates to per-source optimization as its own conversions accumulate.
What you need to start
One thing: conversion tracking. Wire an S2S postback in the dashboard (about 5 minutes), fire a test conversion, and Auto CPA unlocks for your account. Auto CPA needs S2S postback tracking and one registered conversion to unlock. Its first days are a learning phase on a capped exploration budget priced against the live market, after which bids follow measured performance per traffic source. CPA pricing takes one extra step — a word with your account manager. Minimum deposit is $100 — same as any Adexium campaign, across 225+ geos.
