stopping Bad users abusing referral and promo campaigns
Referral and promo campaigns are a double-edged sword. Fraudsters use automated tools to exploit rebate and referral incentives at scale, which can result in both significant fraud losses and stagnant growth. To ensure only real users benefit from promo campaigns, businesses must be able to accurately detect which users are good and which are bad.

Case Study
A major portal for buying and selling cars had some concerns regarding some of their ad traffic and suspected that some of their website visitors were fake.

Immediately after integration, SHIELD’s real-time ad fraud prevention detected that over 80% of its paid traffic was not legitimate. Fraudulent advertisers had been returning fake clicks to meet their monthly quotas.

With this intelligence, the portal was able to make an informed decision as to the performance of certain advertisers. Within the first month of implementation, this then led to a 200% increase in ROAS.
