Once finished adding you traffic source and tracker account, it is time to create some auto-optimization rules so that you won’t waste precious budget on poor quality publishers.
Creating your First Rule
To create an auto-optimization rule, just go to Rules on the left-side menu on your Optimizer account and click Add New. In this example we will go through a publisher blocking rule.We want TheOptimizer to check every 10 minutes on our demo campaign if there are publishers that have sent more than 300 visits to our campaign link and have generated 0 landing page clicks and revenue during the last 14 days. In case these conditions are met, TheOptimizer will automatically block these publishers. (example below)Also, every time our rule will block one or more publishers, we want TheOptimizer to send us an email notification with the details of the Publisher block rule.
