Everything you need before your first campaign.

Short answers, two getting-started guides and the research we publish. For anything not covered here, the team answers through the contact page.

Getting started

Both guides follow the same path the platform takes you through after registration.

Questions, answered.

Is QORA an ad network, an affiliate network or a DSP?

QORA is one platform where advertisers buy and publishers sell performance traffic across CPC, CPM and CPA. Advertisers manage campaigns themselves; publishers connect inventory themselves; QORA routes, optimizes and tracks between the two.

Do I need a manager to get started?

No. Registration, campaign setup and source setup are self-serve. New accounts are reviewed before the first campaign or source goes live, and the team is available through the contact page.

Which pricing models are available?

CPC, CPM and CPA. The model is chosen per campaign, and the same formats are available on each.

Which formats can I buy or sell?

In-app, push, native, email, display, video and pop/tabs. See the Traffic Formats page for what each suits.

How are conversions tracked?

Through server-to-server postbacks from your tracker. The click carries an identifier; your tracker calls the postback URL with it when a conversion happens, and the conversion is attributed to its source.

How do publishers connect traffic?

By adding a source in the platform and either placing the zone code on a site, app or email list, or pointing programmatic supply at an OpenRTB endpoint.

Can advertisers control which sources their campaigns run on?

Yes. Campaigns have source-level allow and block lists, and traffic filtering runs before a request is matched to any campaign.

Where do I log in?

At app.qoraplatform.com. One login covers both roles; the platform opens the right cabinet for your account.

Glossary

The terms you will meet when buying or selling performance traffic, in one place.

CPC · cost per click
A pricing model where the advertiser pays each time a user clicks an ad. CPC suits campaigns that measure success by traffic to a landing page, and it moves the risk of low engagement from the advertiser to the publisher.
CPM · cost per mille
A pricing model where the advertiser pays for every thousand impressions, whether or not anyone clicks. CPM is common for reach-oriented campaigns and for formats where the view itself is the unit, such as display and video.
CPA · cost per action
A pricing model where the advertiser pays only when a defined action happens, such as a registration, deposit, install or purchase, confirmed by the advertiser's tracking. CPA shifts most of the performance risk to the traffic side.
eCPM · effective cost per mille
Revenue or cost expressed per thousand impressions regardless of the pricing model actually used. Publishers use eCPM to compare CPC, CPM and CPA demand on the same scale.
Push traffic
Ads delivered as notifications to users who subscribed to a website's or app's notifications. Push ads are short, appear outside the page, and are used mostly for direct-response offers.
Native advertising
Ads that follow the look of the surrounding content, typically a headline, image and short description placed among editorial articles or recommendations.
Pop-under and tabs traffic
Ads that open a landing page in a new tab or window behind the current one. The format delivers high volume and is used for offers whose landing page converts on arrival.
In-app advertising
Ads shown inside mobile applications, as banners, full-screen interstitials or rewarded placements where the user opts in to an ad in exchange for an in-app benefit.
S2S postback
A server-to-server message an advertiser's tracker sends to the traffic platform when a conversion happens. It carries the click identifier, so the conversion is attributed to the source that produced the click without relying on browser cookies.
Invalid traffic (IVT)
Impressions or clicks that do not come from a genuinely interested human: bots, data-centre traffic, click injection, hidden placements or accidental clicks. Invalid traffic is filtered before billing and is not paid to publishers.
OpenRTB
The industry protocol, maintained by the IAB Tech Lab, that supply and demand platforms use to exchange bid requests and bid responses in real-time bidding auctions.
Self-serve ad platform
A platform where advertisers create and manage campaigns, and publishers add and monitor traffic sources, themselves, without going through an account manager for every change.
