FAQs

How does invalid traffic effect the entertainment industry?

Invalid traffic in the media industry skews campaign results and wastes ad spend by generating fake impressions, clicks, and engagement. For entertainment brands, this means promotions for movies, shows, and events are shown to bots instead of real audiences. The impact goes beyond wasted budgets.  Invalid traffic distorts audience insights, reduces ROI, and makes it harder to measure the true success of media and entertainment marketing campaigns.

How does CTV ad fraud work?

CTV ad fraud happens when fraudsters spoof devices to generate fake impressions on Connected TV platforms. These fake views inflate campaign reach and distort attribution. Anura detects and blocks invalid traffic in real time, ensuring you only pay for real, human views.

How can I stop ticketing bots from hoarding inventory?

To stop ticketing bots, you need real-time bot detection that blocks automated traffic before it reaches your checkout flow. Anura protects ticketing platforms from scalper bots and fake sign ups by blocking them in real time before they even enter your platform.

Why is invalid traffic a problem for streaming platforms?

Invalid traffic on streaming platforms, such as bot views or spoofed impressions, leads to inflated analytics, wasted ad spend, and broken attribution. Anura removes fake traffic before it enters your platform, giving you clean data and real engagement metrics.

How does Anura detect fake traffic before it affects your media campaigns?

Anura analyzes every visitor to your platform in real time, identifying and blocking invalid traffic such as bots, malware, and human fraud farms. With over 20 years of expertise, Anura delivers 99.999% accuracy in identifying fraud using our Anura Script integration without disrupting campaign performance.

Can invalid traffic impact my attribution and optimization?
