Understanding Ad Fraud
Ad fraud is the practice of fraudulently representing online advertisement impressions, clicks, conversions, or data events in order to generate revenue. It can take many forms, from bots simulating human activity to pixel stuffing and ad stacking. The consequences for marketers are dire, including wasted ad spend, skewed analytics, and compromised campaign performance.
Types of Ad Fraud
Click Fraud
This occurs when individuals or bots repeatedly click on an ad without any intention of engaging with its content.
Impression Fraud
Ad impressions are falsely inflated, making it seem as if more people have seen the ad than actually have.
Conversion Fraud
Fake leads or sales are generated to mimic campaign success.
How Ad Fraud Impacts Campaigns
Ad fraud distorts key performance indicators, leading to misguided decisions. You may be diverting funds from effective channels into those ridden with fraud, thus diminishing your return on investment (ROI) and inflating acquisition costs.
