How to Protect Against Bots in Digital Marketing: Understanding Ad Fraud and its Impact
In today’s market where billions are spent on online advertising, bots and ad fraud have become the lurking shadows casting a dark veil over genuine marketing efforts. They not only eat away at your budget but also dilute the effectiveness of your campaigns. So, how can you protect against these digital demons?
The Rise of Bots & Ad Fraud in Digital Marketing
Digital marketing, with its massive reach and potential, has its own set of vulnerabilities. Bots, which are automated programs, can mimic human behaviors online. They can click on ads, fill out forms, and even make fake purchases. This skews data, leads to wasted ad spend, and gives marketers a false sense of achievement.
Moreover, ad fraud is an umbrella term that encompasses various malicious activities, like click fraud, impression fraud, and more. For instance, did you know that in some campaigns, more than 50% of the ad impressions might never be seen by genuine visitors?
The Negative Impact on Your Campaigns
Wasted Ad Spend
You're paying for clicks or views that aren't from genuine visitors.
Skewed Data
Your metrics no longer reflect real customer data, making it hard to make informed decisions.
Damaged Brand Reputation
Your brand might be associated with spammy sites or even malicious software.
Lost Opportunities
Every fake click or impression is an opportunity lost to connect with a real potential customer.

Examples in Action
Successful Media Case Study "We have a very unique use case — only clicks — and everything runs through our traffic. We’re not buying and selling leads; we get data in milliseconds. Our goal: how do we get one of three scores back in a matter of milliseconds? Because we need to do actions based on the click. Whereas I know a lot of people that do use Anura and, obviously, they can return information and they’ve
got all different signals on their platform showing you information about the traffic for those that can use it that way. We use it slightly differently, which is really just to get the signal back as quickly as possible to figure out what to do, and then we use the data on the host click in the platform as a reconciliation, as opposed to in real-time."
