Currently dating traffic through…

Currently dating traffic through onclick is brings good results. I've tested different geos and the results are mostly equally good. I recommend always using CPA Goal for optimization, it will help you to reduce costs significantly. The settings are all easy and you can run your ad campaign in just a few clicks, but I always try to spend more time on it and it usually pays off.

I've changed several ad networks for different reasons, but I've been working with propeller for quite a long time now, and all my expectations have been fully met. I started with small budgets, but it was enough to try several formats and geos. I really like driving traffic to Tier-2 countries and I always get a good profit. I also like the detailed targeting settings, if you set everything up correctly you can almost immediately attract your target audience. So I recommend this network.

How this company stays in business I…

How this company stays in business I don’t know. Their ad code so takes over your site, it is almost malware. Within a few hours of installing their ad code on one of my sites, I had two of my loyal users e-mail me out of concern that my site had been hacked. Their concern was well justified as Propeller’s ads are pop-ups, pop-unders, push notifications, and redirects galore, with overly flashy graphics pushing rather suspect sites and products.

Within 24 hours, both Google and Bing had delisted my site from their search indexing. This, despite a very good record of organic traffic.

It took me months of appeals to the two search engines to get my site relisted with both. Propeller Ads lets you make a number of opt-outs when you set up your ad servicing, but even taking every option to lower the ad intrusion, they still spam your site and scare off your users, and get you blacklisted as a malicious site. When I, out of fair play, put one PropellerAd banner back on one page, Google and Bing delisted that page within a day.

It seems that Propeller Ads ad content is geared heavily toward gamer and crypto topics, so I’m guessing that they are selling their inventory to fly-by-night operators who will put the code on temporary pages and forums to try to grab a few pennies before they are thrown off. Regardless, if you are running a legitimate Web site, you don’t want to be giving over any of your inventory to Propeller Ads.

Definitely a 5 start traffic source

I started my media buying journey 2 years ago, and I can still remember my first green campaign which made me earn about 200 dollars, it was an app install offer from zeydoo, and I promoted it with PropellerAds push traffic. After that, I decided to focus on PropellerAds, and I have been buying push and pop traffic from them every month.
Now about 70% of my profit comes from PropellerAds push and pop traffic, I love the traffic quality and the effective bidding models (Smart CPM CPA goal 2.0 etc.).
In one word, PropellerAds is a 5 star traffic source, and I will be working with them as long as I am doing media buying.

⭕️ Warning!!!

Warning: negative experience with Propeller Ads

Dear Readers,

I am reaching out to you today to share a very disappointing and stressful experience I had today with Propeller Ads, with the goal of protecting other members of our community from similar situations and to solicit your support in my battle to obtain justice.

Today, my ad account on Propeller Ads was banned and the funds within the account (over $200) were blocked due to an error made by a member of my media buying team. True, we violated their rules (using a landing page that did not comply with the propeller ads rules that we were using on other traffic sources), but it was a human error, and who among us hasn't made one?

We tried to resolve the situation by talking to customer support for an hour, apologizing sincerely and asking for leniency this time.

We even proposed to accept a "fine," offering to charge half of our balance as punishment and get on with our work. Unfortunately, Propeller Ads showed no understanding or flexibility.

Eugenia, the support girl, kept telling us that they could not reopen our account and that the money would be withheld according to the terms and conditions we had agreed to.

I strongly believe that, as a community, we should come together to protect each other and to help those in similar situations. After all, we are all here to work together and grow in the online advertising industry, and we all deserve a second chance after making a mistake. Propeller Ads' strictness has not only penalized me, but also put the reputation of a member of my team, who is still a novice, at risk.

I ask you to join your voices with mine and voice your opinion on this situation. We need to let Propeller Ads know that our community is strong and supportive and that we are ready to protect our members from unfair practices. We cannot allow such companies to take advantage of us and treat us without respect.

I invite you to share your experiences and discuss how we can, together, ensure that companies like Propeller Ads realize the importance of treating their customers with fairness and understanding.

Thank you for your support and solidarity.

Alex.

Ps: I will share this experience on trustpilot and any other industry forum. I am also inquiring with my lawyer whether what they have written in their terms and conditions is legal and true.

CPA goal feature maximize your profit

Its been around one year since i am in media buying. I had tried many other network before i joined to propellerads but i could not get results that i always wanted to. I started propellerads with push but it got ok result with push then i shifted to pop then i have got brillent results so far from pop trafffic. I still need to find the best from push but i am loving pop. It have big volume and good quality traffic. Lastly i forgot to mention the main feature of the netwrok i.e. CPAgoal. CPAgoal helps you to get maximum conversion with high quality placement. I highly recommand this network.

PropellerAds Has The Best Support

PropellerAds Is Great For POP & Push Traffic. For example, when I had an issue with one of my campaigns in the middle of night, live chat could help me out immediately!

What's also great about PropellerAds is that you get fast campaign approval to test out your marketing ideas!

Propellerads Traffic CONVERTS!

Propellerads is one of the best Push and Pop Traffic Network I have worked with so far. Their CPA Goal algorithm works like a charm. Basically it helps to optimize my campaign with minimal management from my part. Their campaign approval is almost instant. The best part is the traffic converts! Highly recommended to start your campaigns to test out new offers.

Propeller Ads is the best push traffic provider for many people. And this is also true for me. It's easy traffic that works and their CPA Goal makes life easier. I can only recommend Propeller to every beginner and advanced user. It is still the entry point for me to test new offers. If anything works, it works with Propeller.

They seek sensitive details such as ID

They seek sensitive details such as ID, card linked to PayPal etc. for you to be able to fund the account through PayPal. It's the same set of information one would use to open a bank account, so not sure how people are on board with it. And they expect you to believe they are who they say they are.

10-04-2023: so was this explained to me when I raised it up with your team? Nope. It wasn't there is your feedback. Secondly, it's still an inconvenience, if I was a business I would start by apologizing. I know what KYC is, it's strange that only you seem to be doing it, the likes of Microsoft didn't. Plus no assurance on how my data would be handled by your team, if some random employee decides to misuse my data, I'd be doomed. Because fact still remains that you are a foreign company.
Are you willing to share your employees details with me? Since trust is supposed to be a 2 way street and since I too would need to know who I am working with? No right? A lot of data breaches have happened because of companies employing poor mechanisms to store data, so I have every right as do other people, to learn how the data is stored and managed and who all have access to this data. Lastly this information was sought for PayPal, you seem to have no problem for card based payments whereas a lot of chargebacks happen with card payments versus PayPal. My PayPal email is same as the email I used to signup with you, you could have chosen to compare that, but nope, you expect people to share sensitive details without expecting them to ask questions, that's a wrong expectation. Anyhow, your platform, your rules, I made my stance clear, so did you, all the best in your future endeavors, that's all I have to say.

05-07-2025: updating my review to a 3-star in light of my later interactions with them which weren't bad.

Hello!

As a legal company, we are mindful of KYC because we build a stable system that can work for a long time to protect our clients' money. KYC is generally an indication that the company is legit. If a business cares about its future, it will implement security procedures. That's why we asked you to provide documents.

KYC or “Know your Client” is verifying a user’s identity. KYC allows us to protect all our clients and ourselves by ensuring we are doing business legally and with legitimate entities.

Moreover, we’ve invested a lot of resources in improving our entire operation’s security from every possible angle and have achieved ISO/IEC 27001 certification for information security management.
