In the world of digital marketing, many people believe that the quality of traffic only concerns the quantity of visitors that a website receives. However, the real quality comes down to performance: how active these users are and whether they convert.
Today, PropellerAds will explain how social traffic can take your performance metrics to the next level. Let’s explore ways to add social traffic to your strategy and best practices for getting the most out of this new feature.
What is social traffic?
Social traffic, as the name suggests, is a type of traffic that originates from social media. In the case of PropellerAds, it is targeted through Onclick/Pop-under, allowing you to reach ad zones with traffic coming from popular networks such as Facebook and Instagram.
This type of traffic offers several advantages, such as:
- Real and engaged users: Without the restrictions that social networks themselves impose on advertising campaigns in certain niches.
- Up to 2.8x higher conversion rates compared to traditional Popunder traffic.
- Faster and more effective results: with highly engaged audiences, ready to interact with your content.
Why does social traffic work so well?
The effectiveness of social traffic comes from the very nature of social networks. Users follow pages focused on their personal interests and interact with content that really interests them. This feature allows you to reach audiences that are much more qualified and likely to convert.
