Managed Click Fraud Detection for Publishers

The Challenge: Click Fraud Detection and Audit

Pay-per-click (PPC) search engines are under incredible pressure to control fraudulent click activity while meeting their revenue targets. The ability to detect click fraud and proactively issue credit for invalid clicks is a primary competitive differentiator among PPC providers. Unfortunately, most PPC providers have fallen short of the challenge. As click fraud perpetrators grow progressively more sophisticated, maintaining a comprehensive in-house click fraud detection program becomes an extremely resource- and labor-intensive task.

Click fraud, left unchecked, drives advertisers away and compromises the PPC provider's credibility and trust. To create a sustainable customer base and revenue growth, you need to develop technical and business processes to curb click fraud and capitalize on advertisers' requirement to purchase quality traffic.
