Ask Can the unique push traffic of a push ad campaign ever exceed its raw traffic?

[Brajet]

Unique push traffic cannot exceed raw traffic in a push ad campaign. Raw traffic represents the total number of visits or clicks, including multiple actions by the same user. Unique traffic, however, counts each user only once, regardless of how often they engage. Since raw traffic includes all interactions and unique traffic is a subset of it, the unique traffic will always be equal to or less than the raw traffic. If unique traffic appears higher than raw traffic in reports, it's likely due to a tracking error or misconfiguration. Understanding this distinction is crucial for accurate campaign analysis. Monitoring both metrics ensures better insight into user behavior, engagement levels, and helps in refining targeting strategies for improved performance. What are your thoughts on this?

No, unique push traffic cannot exceed raw traffic in a push ad campaign. Here's why:

"Raw traffic" refers to the total number of clicks or visits generated by your campaign, including repeat visits from the same user. Meanwhile, "unique traffic" counts only distinct users, ensuring that each individual is counted only once, regardless of how many times they engage with the ad.

Since unique traffic is a subset of raw traffic, it will always be equal to or less than raw traffic. If your campaign has a high number of repeat clicks, the gap between raw and unique traffic will widen. Conversely, if most users click only once, the difference will be smaller.

It's possible for unique push traffic to seem higher than raw traffic if tracking or filtering methods are in place. For example, platforms might count users differently across devices or browsers, so repeated visits can be attributed as unique under certain conditions. For affiliates, this doesn't always mean more real conversions, but it can help show how broadly your push campaign is reaching different users.
