Myth: you can optimize in-app campaigns in real time with SKAN Network reps sell 'auto-bidding optimizes hourly off SKAN.' The data physics won't allow real-time on SKAN, and pretending otherwise burns budget. SKAN postb…

Myth: high Limit-Ad-Tracking / opted-out share is a fraud signal A filter floating around fraud forums: a publisher with lots of LAT or ATT-opted-out users is suspicious. You'll blacklist your cleanest sources. LAT and A…

In-app traffic: где он реально работает, а где сливает бюджет In-app трафик — не «дешёвый инвентарь по умолчанию», а отдельная среда с коротким вниманием и частыми мискликами. Ошибка №1 — мерить его как search: здесь важ…

Myth: one MMP covers you, multi-touch is overkill for in-app 'In-app is last-touch by SKAN anyway, why bother with multi-touch.' This bakes a measurement blind spot into your whole strategy. SKAN forces a last-touch, sin…

Myth: more SDKs in the app means more fraud exposure A popular safety take: minimize SDKs, each one is an attack surface for fraud. Half-right, but it confuses two problems. Most in-app fraud (click injection, SDK spoofi…
