Quick answer
Many Telegram channels see the most views in the morning commute, at lunch and in the evening of their audience’s local time, but the best time for you depends on your niche and countries. Find it by posting at different hours for two weeks with Telegram’s scheduled messages and comparing views per post after 24 hours in channel statistics. Then post at your top two or three slots, and launch Adsun campaigns when your audience is most active.
Key takeaways
- Post for your audience’s time zone, not yours.
- Test for two weeks and compare 24-hour views.

Metric definitions and formulas
- CPM
- Cost per mille: what an advertiser pays for 1,000 ad impressions.
CPM = (Ad spend ÷ Impressions) × 1,000 - CPC
- Cost per click: average price an advertiser pays for one click.
CPC = Ad spend ÷ Clicks - CTR
- Click-through rate: the share of impressions that produced a click.
CTR = (Clicks ÷ Impressions) × 100% - eCPM
- Effective CPM: what a publisher earns per 1,000 impressions, whatever the pricing model.
eCPM = (Publisher earnings ÷ Impressions) × 1,000 - Fill rate
- The share of ad requests that returned an ad.
Fill rate = (Filled ad requests ÷ Total ad requests) × 100%

Worked example
Hypothetical example — not real Telegram or Adsun data
A channel owner spends $200 on an Adsun CPC campaign at $0.04 per click = 5,000 clicks. 35% join = 1,750 subscribers, cost per subscriber ≈ $0.11. Those subscribers produce 1,200 extra views per post, 2 posts a day = 72,000 views a month; at a $1.50 CPM from sponsored posts that is $108 a month, so the spend pays back in about 2 months. Replace every figure with your own data.
Adsun measurement methodology
Adsun counts an impression when an ad is rendered in a publisher block, a click when the user opens the ad destination, and a reward only after the server-to-server Reward URL confirms completion. Debug-mode traffic is excluded from billing and reports. Metrics are shown per platform, block and country in the partner and advertiser dashboards. Adsun does not publish aggregate network benchmarks in this guide; any number below marked “Hypothetical” is illustrative only. See the SDK documentation for integration details.
