GEO Coverage and Targeting

Trending.Bid specializes in Tier-3 traffic with strong delivery in:

• Brazil
• India
• Indonesia

Tier-1, Tier-2, and CIS regions are not supported. However, advertisers can target by country, city, or even device ID, allowing for highly localized campaigns tailored to specific user groups.

Ad Formats and Performance

Trending.Bid offers a wide range of ad formats, including:

• In-App Push – Delivered directly to the user’s notification bar, even when the app is not open. Higher CTR compared to traditional push due to open format with large images.
• In-App Interstitials – Full-screen static banners shown between app screens or during natural transitions.
• In-App Banners – Banner placements displayed inside mobile apps, particularly in casual games.
• Classic Push Notifications and Popunder – Standard formats with high volume potential.

Format Overview:

In-App Push reaches over 500 million users daily and delivers messages directly to the user’s notification bar—even when the app is not open. With a starting cost from $0.001 CPC, this format consistently drives higher CTR due to its large, open-image design and immediate visibility. Some campaigns report CTRs of up to 5 percent.

In-App Interstitials are full-screen static banners displayed between app transitions, such as level loads or screen changes. With more than 80 million daily impressions, they are highly engaging and offer a strong user experience. Costs start from $0.001 CPC or $0.20 CPM.

Popunder ads reach around 600 million users per day. These ads open in a new browser tab when a user interacts with a site or app. They are ideal for capturing attention at scale and are priced from just $0.001 CPM. CTR varies depending on creative execution and user flow.

Optimization and Campaign Phases

Trending.Bid includes a unique learning phase that helps improve performance and ROI over time.
