Frequently Asked Questions

What is AdStride and how is it different from a typical agency?

AdStride is a performance marketing partner, not an agency that buys impressions. We place your offer on rewards sites like PrizeBear.com and Knots.gg, on MoneyAtlas, our finance comparison site, and with vetted partner publishers. You pay for results such as leads, funded accounts or policies.

How does the pay-for-performance model work?

We agree on the outcomes that matter to you, such as qualified leads, approved accounts or funded balances, and price around them (CPL, CPA, CPI or hybrid). You pay only when they happen.

What types of brands and industries are the best fit for AdStride?

Performance-driven brands that care about quality and compliance: financial services, insurance, fintech, and mobile apps and games. If you track unit economics closely, you’re a strong fit.

How do you source and vet your traffic and placements?

Every publisher verifies they own their site or app, signs our sub-publisher agreement, and passes a manual review before sending traffic. We screen leads before delivery, monitor conversion and fraud signals continuously, and block traffic at the placement level when it doesn’t hold up.

Do you run incentivized traffic?

Only on offers approved for it. Incentivized and non-incentivized traffic run as separate offers, so you always know which you’re buying.

How do you handle tracking, attribution, and reporting?

We work with your existing tracking: affiliate networks, your MMP or server-to-server postbacks. Results are reported by partner, placement and campaign, so you can see where revenue comes from.

What does onboarding look like, and how long does it take to go live?

Three steps: agree on goals, KPIs and pricing; connect tracking; launch the first placements and tests. Most campaigns go live within a few weeks, often sooner for network programs.

Does AdStride have minimum budgets or volume commitments?

We usually start with a test budget or volume so there’s enough data to optimize. Exact terms depend on your vertical, targets and compliance needs, and we’ll scope them with you.

Do you work with competing brands, and how do you manage channel conflicts?

Yes. We often work with several brands in a category and manage placement, messaging and deal terms to avoid conflicts. We can agree on guardrails such as site types, positioning or exclusivity.
