How click fraud shows up on Microsoft Ads

Microsoft Advertising (Bing) often carries high-value B2B and desktop search intent, which makes it worth protecting: bots, scrapers and competitors click your ads and waste budget that could reach real prospects.

Left unchecked, that invalid traffic skews your reporting and teaches automated bidding to value clicks that never convert, so your cost per acquisition drifts upward over time.

How ClickPatrol protects Microsoft Ads

ClickPatrol tags every Microsoft Ads click and classifies it in real time through Google Tag Manager, scoring 800+ data points per visit.

Suspicious clicks are labelled so you can exclude repeat offenders and keep Microsoft Ads's automated bidding optimising toward genuine, converting traffic instead of bots and scrapers.

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.
