How Click Fraud Increases Your Cost Per Acquisition (CPA)

How Click Fraud Increases Your Cost Per Acquisition (CPA)

13.06.2025 2

CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) is one of the most important ad metrics. But fraud quietly inflates this number — even when campaigns seem to be performing well.

How fraud increases CPA:

  • every fake click = money lost;
  • ad systems “learn” to show ads to fake audiences;
  • budget goes to bots, not people;
  • conversion rate drops → CPA rises.

Signs fraud is behind your rising CPA:

  • traffic is high, but sales are low;
  • most clicks come from the same IP range or region;
  • very short, inactive sessions;
  • campaigns suddenly stop converting.

How AntiClick helps lower CPA:

  1. Filter out fraudulent traffic before it hits analytics.
  2. Auto-block IPs with low-value sessions.
  3. Analyze user behavior — focus on real people.
  4. Optimize ads based on verified conversions only.
