For a few years now, the desktop originated campaign set-up called ‘performance' has been active and applicable on mobile inventory. It has, however, been a slow start. Why? Because the acceptance of a mobile phone as a device to be used for online shopping (conversions), is still in its early stages. Although not often, performance campaigns - run on mobile inventory /devices - can be profitable (without using incentivized traffic/inventory).
Different campaign goals require different algorithms. A performance algorithm can be different from a normal branding (or CPM) algorithm. That is why we utilize a dedicated performance algorithm for performance campaigns. It is both our experience and belief that algorithms, tailored to a specific focus or discipline, are more effective and have a bigger chance of making a performance campaign profitable. In most cases we use algorithms that are based on Logistic Regression principles.
