What affects your CPA?

There is not a single factor that affects CPA. There are many factors that can affect the promotion of the product, such as the size of the installation package, the complexity of the operation process, and so on. Next, we will analyze the influencing factors of CPA from four perspectives.

Installation package size

Many promotion channels will first understand the size of the product installation package when choosing a product, because this will directly affect the user’s download probability. Many users will be affected by the size of the installation package and make the choice to download or refuse to download. To a certain extent, the smaller the installation package, the greater the chance of users downloading, and the better the product promotion effect will be.

The complexity of the operation process

Before taking the package of cpa products, the channel will ask for the effective definition of product data in advance. Although cpa usually refers to the download and registration of the product, but with the continuous improvement of advertisers’ requirements, many cpa products are required active retention within time and even recharge. Obviously, the more product requirements, the more complex the process when users operate, the more complex the process, and the more difficult the promotion of the promotion channel, which will also affect the final promotion effect.

Advertiser’s demand level

Many advertisers will collect the product in a certain period of time. If the promotion channel promotes the product during this period, the promotion data will usually be considerable. Because during this period of time, the advertiser will give higher product conversions. This is a good opportunity to earn revenue for promotion channels.

Product competition

For many cpa products, the number of links or installation packages that advertisers put on the market is extremely limited, so the degree of product competition is very high. The rarer the product, the better the promotion effect is. Therefore, if the channel wants to obtain a better promotion effect, it is necessary to strive for the links or installation packages of these rare products. The higher the product competition, the better the promotion effect.
