Ad Fraud

TL;DR

Advertising fraud techniques are becoming more advanced and harder to detect.
Legacy filters often fail to block modern bots and human fraud.
Robust detection software with unmatched accuracy is critical to protect campaigns.

What Is Advertising Fraud?

Advertising fraud refers to any intentional action that manipulates ad delivery or performance metrics for financial gain. This includes fake impressions, bot traffic, domain spoofing, and sophisticated schemes involving real people. As advertisers invest more into digital channels, fraudsters have developed advanced methods to exploit campaigns.

Why It’s Harder to Detect in 2025

Smarter Bots: Today’s bots are so sophisticated they can mimic real human visitors and blend in with authentic traffic to avoid detection.

Sophisticated Human Fraud: Tactics like click farms and human fraud farms involve real people performing fraudulent actions, making detection even more challenging.

Outdated Filters: Legacy ad fraud solutions often fail to keep pace with evolving threats. Basic filters or static rules miss modern fraud techniques.
