Review

We screen our partners’ sites for traffic quality and Click-Through-Rate

Fraud
Detection

Automated fraud detection controls catch spider-generated traffic and
flag instances of unusually high or concentrated activity on one listing.

Our proprietary filtering software continuously monitors traffic to help
capture and eliminate non-converting traffic by analyzing time and date,
IP address, and the referrer listing.
