Why Traditional Analytics Doesn’t Catch Click Fraud

Why Traditional Analytics Doesn’t Catch Click Fraud

20.05.2025 32

Many advertisers rely solely on standard tools like Google Analytics to monitor campaign performance. But traditional analytics isn’t built to detect click fraud — and most fraudulent activity slips under the radar.

Why standard analytics doesn’t detect fraud:

  • it doesn’t reveal users’ real IP addresses;
  • it can’t distinguish bots from humans;
  • there’s no insight into VPN/proxy usage;
  • there’s no auto-blocking mechanism;
  • it lacks deep behavioral analysis (mouse movement, engagement timing, etc.).

So, you might be watching the numbers — but missing the fraud behind them. That means wasting your budget on non-converting, fake clicks.

AntiClick complements traditional analytics by:

  • revealing device/IP/session-level data;
  • identifying bots vs. real users;
  • automatically blocking suspicious activity in real time.
