Frequently asked questions
How does Opticks detect invalid traffic?

Opticks can detect up to 30 types of invalid traffic, including bots, VPN and datacenter traffic or device tampering among many others.
Who does digital marketing fraud and why?
Digital fraud is carried out by several agents, including fraudsters (individuals or organized groups), competitors and intermediaries. They profit by generating false or misleading digital marketing actions such as clicks or leads and collecting the corresponding generated revenue. They usually use tools like bots, data centers and proxies to automate and scale their operations
Why should I care about invalid traffic?
At the end of the traffic supply chain, advertisers are billed by these fraudulent clicks or leads, causing several issues such as drained budgets, decreased ROI or misleading metrics among others. Invalid traffic can also distort your conversion rates, skew your analytics and be the indicator of other underlying issues in your site, such as attacks, scrapping and data theft.
