Starting A Campaign with BuzzCity: FAQs


Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we receive from people starting a campaign on the BuzzCity Advertising Network. If you have a question, please let us know.

Q: What is dynamic bidding?  
 
In the mobile world, advertisers bid to place ads on publisher sites. Starting bids can be as low as one US cent per click. Publishers meanwhile set a “sell” price for ads that appear on their sites. 


Your bid should reflect the maximum cost per click you are willing to pay for each country. The higher you bid, the more likely your ad will be placed on a page that receives frequent views. However don't worry, you can't be over-charged. The system will only bid enough for you to be awarded the click at the closest competing value. This means that you will only pay one cent over the less competitive bid and your campaign may receive more clicks that anticipated. This is dependent on the competition in the network for the desired inventory. 


BuzzCity also publishes a Campaign Planner – which you can access from your online campaign page – with recommendations on how much to bid for ads in each country in our network. These recommendations are updated monthly, and based on latest month's campaign activities.
