Click Fraud Revealed: Protecting Your Digital Ad SpendÂ
Click fraud is the fraudulent practice where one person or an automated system artificially inflates the number of clicks on online advertisements either to generate revenue or to deplete a competitor's advertisement budget.
Click fraud can be in many forms, from bots automatically clicking on ads to users paid to click on ads without even a shred of interest in the content. Such activities have completely weakened digital advertising, dispersing budgets and distorted performance metrics.
Advertisers use methods like tracking of IPs, click verification mechanisms, and ML algorithms designed to detect frauds, preventing them from happening so that there would be better ROIÂ and more accurate reporting of the outcome of the advertisement placements.
