How to Reduce Ad Spend by Filtering Out Bad Traffic

How to Reduce Ad Spend by Filtering Out Bad Traffic

11.06.2025 4

Ad spend often increases because of non-converting clicks. These could be bots, competitors, or accidental users. If you don’t filter them — you’re paying for nothing.

What is bad traffic:

  • clicks with no engagement;
  • IPs from suspicious or proxy sources;
  • sessions under 2 seconds;
  • no scrolls, clicks, or actions.

How it affects your budget:

  • cost per lead increases;
  • campaigns underperform;
  • your data becomes inaccurate;
  • you scale ads toward fraud, not real customers.

How to reduce spend:

  1. Use AntiClick to detect fraudulent traffic.
  2. Automatically block suspicious IPs in Google Ads.
  3. Filter out low-quality traffic sources.
  4. Optimize campaigns based on clean segments only.
