Kadam Smart Ads campaign
Kadam Smart Ads (KSA) or “smart advertising” is a new Advertising Payment Model. It allows you to purchase high-quality targeted traffic and pay only for conversions.
Smart Ads takes the entire routine of managing and optimizing advertising campaigns off you, assuming all the financial risks and letting you pay only for effective traffic (including sales, registrations and any other targeted actions).
Kadam Smart Ads (KSA) is a hybrid model:
The first stage of the hybrid model, the program either functions as a Cost-per-Mille (CPM) or a Cost-per-Click (CPC) model.
After the first stage is completed, the program can switch to a Cost-per-Action (CPA) model. In the Cost-per-Action (CPA) model, the most profitable sites are determined and payment is made at a preferential rate, reducing the overall cost to the minimum. As soon as the settled by the Advertising Campaign number of conversions is achieved, impressions on that specific site are provided for free, and the advertisers end up only paying for conversions.
Kadam Smart Ads (KSA) model takes a series of automated actions that allow you to:
1. Evaluate the attitude of your target audience towards the advertised product on target platforms;
2. Make an accurate portrait of your consumer;
3. Select or create the most convertible promotional materials;
4. Study materials on the most relevant sites;
5. Determine the desired conversion cost;
6. Run the most effective in terms of cost-income advertising campaign on the Internet;
7. Get a stable customer flow and, as a result, a steady income throughout the entire ad campaign.
Create your own successful sales strategy with an innovative payment model - Kadam Smart Ads.

Name, URL, payment model, format selection.
Campaign Name.
The campaign name which will be displayed in the list of campaigns in your account.
Campaign URL.
The link for users to access.

For impressions - the rate is indicated for the impressions of study materials.

Conversion Notification.
The KSA model, requires setting up a notification of conversion success. There are 2 ways to send information about the conversion:
- Calling the Postback URL
- Posting a Javascript code on the “Thank You!” page after a user action.
Postback URL.
Postback is a mechanism that allows you to transfer information about the conversion from the advertiser’s Crew Recourse Management (CRM) to the Kadam system. Other postback names: pingback, server to server pixel (s2s pixel), s2s post back, server tracking post back.
Detailed information on setting up post conversion notifications is available on this link.
Javascript code.
Javascript code can be obtained in the list of advertising campaigns on the link "Confirmation Code".
Copy the contents of the “Advanced Code” field from the form that is displayed. Paste it to the advertised resource page - which confirms a successful action when accessed.
Example of a “Thank You!” page:
Important! Make sure that the code is set ONLY on the “Thank You!” page (not on the main page, not on the “contacts” page, etc.) - in addition to collecting the most accurate statistics for the ad campaign, it will also save you from “draining” the budget for non-target contacts. This functionality is available only when the "Javascript" conversion notification option is selected.
Choose accepted template.
To set up a template for accepting a conversion in an advertising campaign, click on this link.
Cost per action.
Indicate the desired cost per action that will be charged when a conversion is reached (in case the offer has a difficult conversion, for example, registration in the game / service, or reaching the level in the game, funds will only be charged for the first conversion).

Regions and mobile operators.
This option lets you select regions and mobile operators whose residents are going to be your targeted audience.(Fig.9)

The rate can be increased at any time if the traffic volume (study rate) needs to be increased. Actual charge-offs for impressions in study mode cannot exceed the average CPM or CPC of a specific site. For example, at a CPM rate of 10 rubles, you can get impressions at and 1 rub., but no more than 10 rubles.
The category selection should be approached as responsibly as possible - this will help significantly optimize the budget of the ad campaign at all stages.
