SPRING 2022 Customer Success Report Click Fraud Software Category
Click Fraud Software Category Click fraud software is used for detecting and/or protecting against fraudulent clicks in pay-per-click (PPC) advertising. It's also a very effective tool for helping online advertisers with the daunting task of detecting both manual and automated efforts aimed at inflating their ad click numbers. So, why would anybody commit click fraud anyway? People commit click fraud for two basic reasons. The first is for unfairly reducing competition among advertisers and the second is for generating more revenue by playing the PPC ad system. For example, one advertiser could commit click fraud for the express purpose of using up another advertiser's ad space and budget on worthless clicks, which leaves the first advertiser in the singular position of being able to hurt the competitor.
