How to win at software on Adexium

Why Adexium fits

  • Push CPC from $0.003 makes software offers profitable from $50 first deposit
  • Triggered creatives ("Your device is slow", "Threats detected") have 2-3x CTR
  • Direct-install API for one-click VPN/AV downloads on Windows + macOS
  • Telegram Bot messages reach productivity-tool subscribers (AI assistants, downloaders)

Creative best practices

  • Triggered fear copy works ("4 viruses detected") but moderate aggressively
  • OS detection: show Windows shield to Windows users, Apple to Mac, etc.
  • Honest comparison creatives ("3x faster than McAfee") outperform vague claims
  • For VPN: lead with geo-unlock benefit ("Watch Netflix United States from anywhere")

Can I promote AI tools / SaaS?

What tracking and postbacks are supported?
Server-to-server (S2S) postbacks, pixel tracking, and macros for all major trackers: Voluum, Keitaro, Binom, RedTrack, BeMob. Real-time conversion reporting.
How does anti-fraud work?
Three layers, none of them a black box. Before the auction, the bidder rejects requests from iframes, datacenter ASNs, hammering IPs and malformed user-agents; proxy/VPN traffic is blocked on SSP supply and targetable by a flag on direct placements. On the click, a JavaScript challenge by Kaminari — an independent antifraud vendor — filters bots before the redirect. Daily, every placement is scored on outcomes: enough clicks with zero conversions for any advertiser, or the same email registering across accounts, and it is blocked network-wide. Confirmed fraud is refunded.
Can I whitelist or blacklist sources?
Yes — whitelist and blacklist by source ID, app ID and zone, per campaign. There is no optimizer that silently drops sources for you. If you want automation, Auto CPA re-bids per source toward your target cost per conversion and leaves the source list under your control.
Can I pay per conversion instead of CPM/CPC?
Yes, two ways. Auto CPA bidding is self-serve on every format: you set a target cost per conversion and the bidder tunes CPM/CPC bids per traffic source to hit it. CPA pricing, where you pay a fixed price per conversion and nothing otherwise, is in beta and available on request — it runs on direct-publisher In-Page Push and Popunder inventory only, so we agree the conversion event and geos with you first. Both require S2S postback conversion tracking.
