How to Protect Your Ad Budget from Click Fraud

20.05.2025 12

Click fraud refers to artificially generated clicks that drain your ad budget without delivering real customers. These are often caused by bots, competitors, or shady contractors. Signs of click fraud: high click volume with no conversions; abnormal CTR values (too high or too low); traffic from suspicious regions; very short session durations. How to protect yourself: set frequency caps and click limits; block suspicious IPs; use monitoring tools like AntiClick; analyze user behavior in real time. Preventive actions can ensure your ad spend reaches real prospects instead of being wasted on fake traffic.
