How click fraud shows up on the Google Display Network

Display campaigns span millions of sites and apps, where automated clicks, made-for-advertising sites and low-quality placements can burn budget fast.

Because the Display Network is served through Google Ads, ClickPatrol can block invalid IPs and sources in real time and keep your placements clean.

How ClickPatrol blocks click fraud on Google Display Network

ClickPatrol connects to your Google Display Network account through a Google-certified tracking template and scores every click in real time against 800+ data points.

When an IP, device or network is flagged as invalid, ClickPatrol adds it to your exclusion list automatically, so bots, competitors and click farms stop seeing your Google Display Network ads within minutes, not days.

Up to 21% of paid ad clicks are invalid traffic

What is click fraud protection?

Click fraud protection is software that automatically detects and blocks invalid clicks on your paid ads: the clicks that come from bots, click farms, competitors and scrapers instead of real potential customers. Rather than paying for traffic that never converts, you keep your budget focused on genuine prospects, and your analytics stay clean enough to make good decisions.

Across the 1,793+ businesses ClickPatrol™ protects, invalid traffic regularly accounts for 10-20% of paid clicks, and can exceed 20% in competitive, high-CPC verticals. That is budget recovered the moment protection is switched on.

The cost of click fraud adds up fast.

If 15% of your traffic is invalid, roughly €15 of every €100 you spend is wasted before a real prospect ever sees your ad. On a €10,000/month budget that is €1,500 going straight to bots, competitors and scrapers.

Every fake click ClickPatrol™ blocks keeps more budget available for real prospects who can actually convert.
