Has anyone used Ad Intent/Taboola to help drive traffic to your stores? If so, were there any apps installed in your Shopify store that interfered with the program?
I signed up a week ago for the 300/day and have been monitoring the activity daily. After 5 days, I noticed a disturbing statistic that I brought up to Ad Intent. In Analytics, under Top Referrers by Session, I see Taboola (which is the platform Ad Intent taps into for views). So yesterday, for example, I had 354 views coming from Taboola. But then I looked at the Sessions by landing page, and noticed almost the identical number of hits under /a/forbidden/2ada7245345a82e12e0d65c5dca648b7.html. When I looked at the prior days, sure enough - the number of hits was almost identical in the two sections. Based on this, it was clear I was not getting any of the site visits I paid for.
I brought this us to Ad Intent and the customer support person was very helpful. Initially they suspected it was something to do with Taboola. But after a Taboola engineer investigated, they believe the issue is being caused by one of my installed apps (though they haven't said which one).
Has anyone had a similar experience?
