Whitelisting explained

The disciplined way to scale

Whitelisting means restricting a campaign to a list of approved sources – the source IDs that have already proven they convert. It's the counterpart to blacklisting: instead of cutting losers one by one, you simply buy only from a curated set of winners, so your budget never touches unproven inventory.

On FroggyAds, whitelists operate at the source-ID level and are how buyers scale safely. The discipline: test broad in one campaign, identify converting sources in reporting, whitelist them in a scale campaign, and keep a test running to feed the whitelist. SmartCPC bids efficiently within it and Adscore keeps it clean. Start from $50.
