Did you know that bots can gulp a significant part of your advertising budget?

That’s right.

You might be unaware of their malicious activity until it is too late.

Your target audience? Didn’t see your ads.

Your investments? Wasted.

But there is a way out.

Modern anti-fraud technologies allow advertisers and brands to detect fake traffic, marking even the trickiest human-like bots from real users. Also, such instruments can help you get rid of invalid traffic sources, analyze your performance, and create detailed reports.

By way of an ADEX example, we would like to show exactly how such tracking and prevention systems can help you keep your traffic neat and pure.

Must-Have Features To Protect Your Business From Bots

Which features can save your ads from harmful bots?

We have prepared the basic feature set to save your budget from unnecessary wasting.

Fraudulent Traffic Redirect

One of the best things you can do with fake traffic is to detect and get rid of it.

The redirect feature checks every user and identifies if their behavior is natural and authentic. If any of them seem suspicious, they are sent to a blank page, a so-called “dummy”, instead of your landing page.

Filters are precise enough – they analyze visitors by numerous factors as well as your custom requirements.

As such, neither your advertising budget nor the online presence of your brand is at risk. Redirect is one of the most efficient and simple instruments to keep your business safe.

One of our customers suspected that his traffic is partly invalid and used the Redirect feature to send the infected flows to another URL. As such, he avoided paying for fake conversions and saved about $17,000 of his weekly budget. You will find all the details in this case study.

Real-Time Analysis With API Tool

Timely analysis and reporting are fundamental for every marketing campaign.

If you strive for better results, automated tools for data gathering and processing are a must – not only are they precise, but also time-saving.

And speed can save you from further risks – you have a chance to prevent them instead of fixing the problem later.

API creates tokens for your system, accesses your data, analyzes it, and optimizes things (say, switches the non-fruitful zones off). Such tools ensure detailed and meaningful results without extensive efforts.

Postbacks

To prevent fraud risks, you should track suspicious activity and determine it in real-time. The Postbacks feature informs you about all fake actions that happen in your system.

You are the one to set the necessary anti-fraud parameters up and distinguish which traffic sources are not so reliable.

The tool detects potentially dangerous activity and sends alerts to you. With precise data at hand, you can decide which traffic sources should be blocked – be it a website or an entire country.

The main benefit of Postbacks features is a timely reveal of a threat – you get alerts about suspicious actions before they harm your campaign.

JS Tag Easily Integrated With Google Tag Manager

An additional anti-fraud shield is JS Tag, a script implemented right into the HTML of your webpage created to track and eliminate bots. JS Tag detects fraudulent activity on the deepest level and ensures that even the sophisticated types of bots won’t pass.

JS Tag can be integrated with Google Tag Manager, which makes your workflow straightforward and simple.

Custom Reports To Get Refunds

Even if you missed the moment to detect and exclude a fraudulent traffic source, you can still ask for a refund. You must be aware that traffic providers are not very inspired by the idea of returning your cash. However, there is a way to convince them.

With ADEX, you can form a custom report packed with evidence and proof. The reports are formed to the strictest industry standards and include all necessary elements (source ID, percentage of fraud, types of fraud, and stats) to make your claim impossible to ignore.

After the report is sent, the struggle for your refund doesn’t end – it is just the beginning. The main difference between ADEX and other anti-fraud tools is that our managers support you during the entire process.

During disputes, traffic providers usually ask for more details to make sure that you deserve a refund. With managers’ support and precise data, you have significantly more chances to get your cash back. The struggle against bots is never straightforward and requires your attention on different levels.

Your anti-fraud arsenal should include the following weapons: tools for fraud detection and analysis, prevention, redirecting, and reporting. You can find them all at ADEX.
