00 / REVIEW

Kadam review for advertisers.

Kadam is a native, push, popunder and banner network with a $100 minimum deposit, CPC, CPM and CPA Target buying, and a free managed service as well as self-serve. It filters traffic through an in-house system and publishes an unusually generous fraud-refund process: a full refund if a check by macros confirms fraud, twice the original amount after a check by platforms, and five times after further verification with your click log. Read visits per site, keep a clean click log, and ask your manager for a check. We don’t run Kadam campaigns ourselves; the facts below are Kadam’s own pages.

01 / SIGNAL

How bot traffic slips in through Kadam sites.

Kadam is a self-serve network selling native teaser, banner, push, in-page push, popunder and video traffic in every GEO, on CPC, CPM or CPA Target payment models. Its unit of supply is the publisher site: Kadam passes {site_id} on every click, the website ID that its campaign blacklist also takes, alongside {campaign_id}, {ad_id} and a {click_id} for conversion matching. ValidVisit captures all four on arrival and judges every visit Valid or Invalid with its evidence, so you act on specific sites rather than on the network as a whole.

Kadam says its traffic is filtered through its in-house system, and its site carries a “Protected by Kaminari Ad” badge, so what reaches your page has already passed the network’s own checks. What gets past them is rarely spread evenly: it gathers on particular sites, and a campaign average blurs a bad {site_id} together with the good ones around it. Kadam’s own fraud check works at the same level, first by macros and then by sites, comparing a disputed site against other campaigns running on it.

Conversions alone are slow to show this. A site needs volume before zero conversions means anything, and zero conversions cannot tell automated visits from real people who did not buy. The verdict on each visit separates the two, so a site sending invalid visits can go on the blacklist while a site of real but unconverting visitors keeps running at a lower bid.

What to watch on Kadam

Site invalid share

Rank active {site_id} values by invalid share. Sites well above your campaign baseline are blacklist candidates before you scale into them.

Blacklist or bid down

A site with a low invalid share that still does not convert is sending real visitors who do not buy. Kadam lets you set a per-site bid in site statistics, as a multiplier on the campaign bid or a fixed rate, so that site can stay at a lower price instead of going on the blacklist.

Sites, not sources

Kadam’s campaign settings also take a black and white list by source ID, but its macro list has no source macro. {site_id} is the finest level a visit can be attributed to, so judge and blacklist there.

02 / VERDICTS

What Kadam lets you judge by.

Publisher / site / zone

Invalid share broken down by:

Site ID {site_id}Publisher site the click came from — the unit you blacklist in the campaign.

Per-click id: Kadam passes a unique click id, and ValidVisit stores it with each visit, so a verdict traces back to the click in Kadam’s own reports.

FAQ

Kadam traffic quality, answered.

Is Kadam legit?

Kadam is a working ad network with self-serve and free managed service, fast moderation and a published refund process for fraudulent traffic. Keep a click log with site IDs, times and IPs, judge visits per site, and ask your manager for a check when a site looks wrong.

How do I blacklist a site in Kadam?

Paste the site IDs, one per line, into the campaign’s site black and white list. The same campaign settings take source IDs and up to 10,000 IP ranges.

Does Kadam refund fraudulent traffic?

Yes, through your manager, who requests a check. Kadam’s help center says a check by macros that finds fraud brings “a full refund”, a check by platforms “a refund of twice the original amount”, and further verification “a refund of five times the original amount”. The last needs your campaign IDs, the period, and a click log with site_id, click date and time, campaign ID, creative ID, user IP and user agent, plus your tracker’s time zone. ValidVisit does not file the request: its per-site verdicts show which sites to raise.
