PopAds Blog is here!

Yesterday we switched PopAds to our new backend system. The operation took approximately 3 hours, during which no major issues were faced. While at this moment, you might not see any difference except the panel is a bit faster, the new backend system gives us a lot of new options:

• All critical elements of the system are fully redundant. This means that we should be able to achieve very high uptime and system stability.


• Reports and dashboards will be supercharged, getting approx 3-4 times faster.


• New traffic registering engine will be able to forward popunders to advertisers landing page faster, resulting in improved conversions.


• Greatly increased capacity - with the new system we are able to handle up to approx. 100M popunders a day.


• Capacity can be easily and very quickly extended if needed, as the new backend is fully scalable.

In the new backend system, billing system works in a slightly different way. While reports are still realtime, billing is not. Campaign budgets and account balances are no longer updated realtime, but every minute.

In coming weeks we will be implementing many new features, including new powerful reporting engine. Stay tuned!

We have just activated a new tool for our advertiser. It is called Quick Selection and allows you to create country groups for easier country selection and management. You can find it on Country tab when creating new or editing existing campaign.

We are currently performing a database maintenance. PopAds might be working a bit slower during next few hours.
Also, advertisers might not be able to change/submit campaigns for approx. 15 minutes.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

We have just changed our bidding model. Right now, it is adaptive bidding system with bid increment of 1%.  This means no more no less a lot cheaper traffic for all our advertisers.

We have experienced an unexpected technical problem during database server migration.  Techs are aware and are fixing the problem. There will be a compensation program announced when the database server is fully migrated(next week).
