Your first time buying traffic - having no clue what to click.
When you found your first client after starting at a new ad network.
Your first time fighting with a colleague - and then awkwardly making up.
Or when you first met your Big Boss and your manager.![]()
That first time when you accidentally launched a campaign with a $500 daily budget instead of $50.
Or the time when you heard “popunder” and had no idea what it meant.
Or when you realized SmartCPM isn't actually that smart without proper targeting.
Your first time when a client ghosted you right after asking for a discount![]()
When you stayed up all night fixing tracking for a campaign that made $3.24.
Or the first time when you celebrated your first conversion like it was a Super Bowl win.
The first time when you forgot to cap a campaign and watched the spend spiral.
That first time when you actually explained to your parents what you do - and they still didn’t get it.
“Something with pop ads? Like pop music?![]()
That first campaign with popunder traffic that somehow performed better than your native one.
That one win that made you realize - okay, I can do this. I can buy traffic and make it work.
It all feels like drama when it’s the first time.
But looking back - it was the time of learning, growth, and a few hilarious mistakes.
In the world of advertising networks and popunder traffic, these moments shape how we work, test, and buy traffic smarter.
Worth it? Always.
