Low Conversion Rate on Dating Smartlink (1:2300 Ratio) – Need Optimization Advice!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently running a Popunder campaign on PopAds, sending traffic to a Dating Smartlink (on LosPollos). I've reached 7,000 impressions, but I’ve only received 3 conversions so far. This is a conversion ratio of roughly 1:2300, which seems extremely low even for Pop traffic.

Here are my current stats and setup:

• Traffic Source: PopAds (Mainstream/Adult mix)
• GEOs: Testing Tier 2 & Tier 3 (mostly Indonesia and Brazil)
• Device: Mobile (Android)
• Tracking: I’ve set up a custom PHP/JS redirect bridge to filter bots and pass Website IDs.

The issue with Tracking/Testing:I performed a few manual test sign-ups using a VPN to ensure my Postback and tracking are working correctly. However, out of 3 tests, only 1 was recorded in the dashboard. I’m worried that I might be losing conversions due to shaving or technical issues with the Smartlink's redirect.

I have a few questions for the experts here:

1. Is a 1:2300 ratio normal for Pop traffic in these GEOs, or is my targeting too broad?
2. Why would a manual test sign-up not show up in the tracker? (Could it be because of the VPN/Proxy detection on the offer side?)
3. Which Tier 2 GEOs are currently "hot" for Dating Smartlinks to improve this ROI?

I’m willing to share my blacklists or site IDs if anyone wants to exchange data. Thanks in advance for the help
