Detect and block click farms

What click farms do to your budget

Click farms use large groups of low-paid workers or coordinated devices to click ads at scale. Because the clicks come from real devices, they can slip past basic filtering while wasting significant budget.

ClickPatrol identifies the coordinated patterns behind click farms (shared networks, timing, device fingerprints and behaviour) and blocks them before they drain your spend.

Click farms are hard to stop because the individual clicks look legitimate. They come from real devices operated by real people, so a filter looking at one click at a time sees nothing wrong.

The fraud only becomes visible in the pattern: shared networks, repeated timing, clustered device fingerprints. ClickPatrol is built to detect coordination, not just isolated bad clicks.

Click-farm fraud defeats simple filtering because it hides in plain sight. Each click passes basic checks, so the only way to catch it is to step back and look at how clicks relate to one another across time, network and device.

ClickPatrol scores that coordination continuously, so a farm that would slip past click-by-click filtering is identified and blocked as a group.
