Campaign Traffic Source Best Practices
By default, new campaigns are assigned the virtual audience 'All Traffic', which provides access to all available inventory in your account.
Recommendation: Keep 'All Traffic' as your default audience and use the Filtering & Targeting and Lists tabs to refine your targeting. This approach ensures you don't miss relevant traffic opportunities while still maintaining precise control over who sees your ads.
When to Use Specific Audiences or Inventory: Use a more targeted audience or specific inventory source only when creating highly specialized campaigns with very narrow targeting requirements. This prevents accidentally excluding valuable traffic that meets your campaign goals.
Example scenarios for specific audiences:
- Exclusive campaigns for premium publishers only
- Campaigns targeting a single app or website
- Test campaigns for new inventory partnerships
