Through a holistic set of 10 metrics, ranging from fast clickers and unrecognized devices to library robots, marketers can now easily and instantly detect which publishers are selling suspicious visits and clicks and stop buying from them. This results in maximized protection of advertising budgets and cleaner and higher ROI campaign funnels, and therefore in increased payouts from advertisers.

Voluum’s Anti-fraud Kit analyzes in real time millions of ad clicks and looks into statistical patterns that might indicate that specific segments of traffic are artificially generated. The results of this complex analysis are delivered in comprehensive reports that are seamlessly combined with performance metrics. Ultimately, thanks to Voluum, marketers gain precious actionable intelligence around their media buying quality in one place.

Before the introduction of the Anti-Fraud Kit, marketers had to invest in third-party invalid traffic solutions in addition to their analytics measurement and management platform, resulting in significantly higher costs and in a waste of time on non-seamless integrations.
