Fraud can be grouped into three “strata”
Sites, networks and exchanges
that cheat or look the other way
• Stacked ads, auto-refresh
• High ad-load, low viewability
• Purchased traffic, audience expansion
Sites created solely for ad fraud
• Created by template/algo
• Enormous quantity of ads
• All traffic/impressions from bots
Mainstream publishers with human + bot traffic
• Legitimate publishers with real content that humans
engage with, interact, read and watch
• An unknown percentage of malicious bot traffic designed to
enrich their cookie-profiles for later high-value re-targeting
