How BackNova Works
Simple explanation for lead generation professionals
The Problem You Already Know
You buy traffic. You send it to a network. They pay you.
But here's the thing: Not all leads are equal. You know this.
- Some convert in 2 hours → gold
- Some convert in 2 weeks → okay
- Some never convert → trash
The problem: You send them all at the same price.
Result? You're leaving 30-50% of revenue on the table.
What BackNova Does (Simple Version)
BackNova watches your traffic before it goes to the network.
It answers one question:
"What's this lead worth?"
Not after days of waiting. In 100 milliseconds.
Then it tells you:
- HIGH - This one's money. Route to your best network.
- MEDIUM - Uncertain. Good for CPL deals or testing.
- LOW - Low value. Salvage network or don't send.
That's it. No magic, no complexity.
How Does It Know?
BackNova doesn't guess. It analyzes 47 behavioral signals from your traffic in real-time.
What the SDK collects automatically:
Behavioral signals (15):
- Time on site (2 minutes vs 20 seconds)
- Scroll depth (read 80% vs bounced)
- Mouse movement distance
- Clicks and rage clicks (frustration patterns)
- Form completion time
- Keystrokes and paste events
- Page views and tab switches
- Returning visitor detection
Technical signals (10):
- Device type (desktop/mobile/tablet)
- Browser and screen resolution
- Language and timezone
- Platform and cookies status
Traffic signals (7):
- UTM parameters (source, medium, campaign)
- Referrer and landing URL
- Click ID from your tracker
Source performance (your historical data):
- Google Ads Campaign A: 60% approval rate → trust it
- Popup on mobile: 15% approval rate → skeptical
- LinkedIn organic: 70% approval rate → gold mine
Combined intelligence:
Good behavior + good source = HIGH confidence
Good behavior + unknown source = MEDIUM (test it)
Bad behavior + bad source = LOW
The Three Tiers Explained
HIGH - Premium Tier
What it means:
- Strong buying signals
- Good source history
- High confidence (70-90%)
What to do:
- Route to best-paying network
- CPA deals (revenue share)
- Fast SLA (5-30 minutes)
MEDIUM - Test & Optimize Tier
What it means:
- Moderate signals OR
- Good signals but unproven source OR
- Mixed indicators
This is NOT "mediocre trash". This is valuable uncertainty.
What to do:
- CPL deals (fixed price, lower risk)
- A/B test between networks
- Split between two partners
- Negotiate better rates
Pro tip: MEDIUM leads are your negotiation leverage.
LOW - Salvage or Don't Send
What it means:
- Weak signals (bot-like, <10 sec on site)
- Bad source history (5% approval)
- High fraud risk
What to do:
- Don't send to premium networks (waste of cap)
- Salvage networks (€5-10 CPL)
- Or don't send at all
Important: BackNova doesn't block anything. You decide.
