ValidShield is your first defense against click fraud which assists in the prevention of fraudulent clicks. This highly advanced AI system actively detects the user's information from the initial search to the eventual click and blocks fraudulent clicks from entering your website.

There are numerous methods of automated click fraud. ValidShield is able to detect the following:  

AUTO-CLICKS FROM BOTS/SCRIPTS

• This type of fraud is fairly common with smaller affiliates. 
  
  
• Affiliates create programs that run in the background and generate clicks to various keywords.
  
  
• Often, these programs are difficult to detect due to their ability to falsify logged information,  
  such as IP or user agent.   
  
  

• This method is also fairly common.
  
  
• Affiliates create a one pixel frame that is invisible to the end user. They then pop clicks to the  
  hidden frame while the user – completely unaware that this is happening – surfs their site.  

SIMULATED CLICKS

• One of the most difficult types of fraud to implement, simulated clicks are also the most dangerous.
  
  
• Their nature makes them impossible to detect using web log analysis. 
  
  
• The three main techniques used to simulate clicks:
  
  1. Using a popunder and a real-time keyword list, an affiliate spawns a popup window containing the resulting advertiser's website. The user simply sees that a window has opened, not realizing they “technically“ clicked a PPC ad.   
  
  2. Affiliates can use an “invisible“ i-frame positioned under the mouse pointer via _JavaScript. When a user attempts to click any link on the page, the i-frame receives the click, launching a popunder containing the advertiser's site.   
  
  3. There are programs that affiliates purchase that use open proxy servers from across the country that generate fake clicks. These programs are advanced enough to fake everything from legitimate IP addresses, specific click through rates, user agents, and even time and day traffic patterns. These clicks are generating what would appear to be "real" clicks from "real" users with no identifiable traffic patterns. These are virtually impossible to detect when analyzing log files.
