Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Anstrex-Native

Getting Started

We highly recommend these steps to get accustomed to our platform in the following order:

  1. Read our Getting Started article series to get familiar with the UI

  3. Finally read our Advanced Topics & Strategies articles to become a master at finding winning campaigns to improve your ROI.

We highly recommend Google Chrome browser for Anstrex Spy Tool. The platform has been built and thoroughly tested on Google Chrome. We expect that other browser's based on underlying webkit framework should perform equally well (such as Safari and Opera). However, with Chrome you are more or less guaranteed a good performance and proper page rendering.

We support Chrome and other webkit based browsers (such as Safari, Opera etc.) currently. That does not mean that the site will not load on other browsers. However, there may be occasional hiccups and rendering issues on other non-webkit based browsers such as Mozilla (aka Firefox) and Internet Explorer. Please bring those to our attention and we will fix them asap. We do highly recommend using Google Chrome, if possible.

Product Features

The default sort order always shows you the latest ads, recorded in our database, at the top of the page. You can change this sort order by using any of the available options under the Sort By drop-down menu at the top of the page. This options are recorded in your browser cookie for a finite time, so if you were to login again, within the validity range of the cookie, these options will be preserved.

An ad with higher rank is usually shown before with lower rank. Our scale for ad-rank ranges from 1-5, 1 being the higher and more desirable value. One of the primary function that determines the ad-rank is the relative bid price or cost per click (CPC) or cost per 1000 impressions (CPM) that an advertiser is willing to pay for an ad. Because of the dynamic nature of the real time bidding auction, the ad-rank is rarely stable. It fluctuates on a daily basis. However, a trend in ad-rank or an average ad-rank is a good parameter to identify whether an ad is doing well.

We have created two parameters ad-strength and ad-gravity to define the performance of any given ad.

Here are the primary differences between the two quantities

Ad-Strength ()Ad-Gravity ()
Measures the performance of an ad over its entire lifetimeMeasures the performance of an ad in recent few weeks
Higher value means betterHigher value means better
This quantity can only increase with timeThis quantity can increase or decrease depending on the ad's recent performance
A value of zero (0) means that the ad had no traction. A value less than 10 means that ad had very little tractionA value of zero (0) means that ad never had any traction in its lifetime. A value of one (1) means that the ad had traction in the past. A value > 1 means the ad has traction currently
Bottomline: If you want to know the performance of an ad over long time period, use this quantityBottomline: If you want to know if the ad is performing well recently use this quantity

You can apply unlimited combination of filters, generally speaking. However, as you add more filters, the search will become more restrictive and you may not see any useful data beyond a point. Under certain circumstances, the filters may reset automatically if the applied filters are not compatible with each other.

Click on Reset All button/label from the filter bar. This will erase all the search filters/keywords/sorting methods and take you back to the default view.

All slider bar filters have a numerical value associated with it. For example, ad-strength, ad-gravity, days running, likes, views are all numerical. Typically, you want to define a range for such filters to get specific results. The sliders allow you to define the range by selecting the minimum and maximum values. The slider handle on the leftmost side controls the minimum value and slider value on the rightmost side controls the maximum value.

Some ads are associated with more than one affiliate networks, countries, ad networks etc. Due to the size limitation of the single ad unit, we cannot display all the labels. In such cases, we display +n icon where n represents the number of additional available labels. You can see other labels by hovering your mouse over the +n icon as shown in the image below:

The default view shows the chart data from last two weeks. In order to change this two week time range you can click and drag the controllers on the rangefinder view right below the chart as indicated in the figure below. Maximum range is 1 year.

Method 1

The best method is to use Trackers drop down filter and select All from the drop down menu. Most affiliates use one of the 7 tracking tools that our bots can detect. Read more about it here. This is by far the most effective way to filter the affiliate network campaigns.

Method 2

Another option is to use Affiliate Network drop down filter. You can either select ALL which will show all the campaigns that we were able to tag as affiliate campaigns or choose a specific affiliate network. Please keep in mind that our detection rate for affiliate campaigns is not 100%. Therefore we highly recommend Method 1.
