March 5th, 12:50pm - Track D: Optimizing Mobile, Tablet & Social Experiences
With 1.5 million apps and an estimated $8 billion in US ad spend, mobile growth continues to be explosive. However, with that growth there are some unintended consequences that impact user experience. Last year, the amount of fraudulent advertising on mobile devices was about 38% and for the first time exceeded the amount of fraud happening on the desktop. More importantly, this fraud is being perpetrated by both bots and humans. This creates a very complex problem; and while advertisers want to invest more with their RTB media buys, it becomes difficult to justify when thirty eight cents out of every dollar is wasted on fraud. In this session you will learn about the different types of fraud and how detect and prevent it.

Per the MRC, “'Fraud' is not intended to represent fraud as defined in various laws, statutes and ordinances or as conventionally used in U.S. Court or other legal proceedings, but rather a custom definition strictly for advertising measurement purposes. Also per the MRC, “‘Invalid Traffic’ is defined generally as traffic that does not meet certain ad serving quality or completeness criteria, or otherwise does not represent legitimate ad traffic that should be included in measurement counts. Among the reasons why ad traffic may be deemed invalid is it is a result of non-human traffic (spiders, bots, etc.), or activity designed to produce fraudulent traffic.”
