What they did

Ran 14 campaigns on Push and Native, split by offer and country.
Used Smart pricing: PPCmate set the price per impression automatically to win the right traffic.
Capped frequency on all campaigns so the same person didn't see the ad too often.
Blocked weak placements with a block list on 8 of 14 campaigns.
Kept spend on proven placements with an allow list on 4 of 14 campaigns.
Used day-parting on 9 of 14 campaigns to run only in the best hours.
Adjusted bids per traffic source with Source Bids on 12 of 14 campaigns.
