While writing this article I came across many fraudulent sources and threats in the ad network industry and I would like to share it.

‘Click fraud’ a new terminology coined out in the industry of ad networks and is a rising trend. It is a type of fraud which is related to the pay-per-click concept and that source imitates human impression while visiting a website. Click fraud is the topic of major arguments, plus it is a growing proceeding and advertising networks are a crucial recipient of the fraud.

Another term is related to ‘sophisticated fraud’ popularly known as phantom bots. They explore around the web to visit websites, view ads and they click using a chic algorithm. It is like a digital ghost that is always enhancing numbers. Ads targeted to a particular genre can result in a higher CPM than untargeted ads. It is true, but it can be equally harmful for your website.
