Vidstart Announces Partnership with Pixalate as Additional Security Measure. Pixalate partnership protects Vidstart advertising from fraudulent traffic schemes across channels and formats
December 18, 2018 — Monetization platform Vidstart has entered into a partnership with Pixalate in order to implement further anti-fraud measures to ensure high-quality traffic and prevent ad fraud schemes.
Vidstart develops and operates apps, and monetizes them with video ads. The Company works in the mobile, OTT, and video environments. As fraud schemes become a growing concern in the advertising industry, the company is partnering with Pixalate to increase its anti-fraud efforts in order to provide quality reliable traffic to its customers.
“We will keep investing heavily in the most innovative technologies out-there in order to eliminate fraud and ensure our clients with quality and real users watching their ads,” says Rotem Gindi, Vidstart CEO and Co-Founder. “As ad-fraud getting more sophisticated, our technologies keep our customers one step ahead.”
Pixalate is the first cross-channel fraud management system for detection and blocking across display, in-app, video, and OTT formats. In November 2018, Pixalate became the first to receive MRC accreditation for OTT video sophisticated invalid traffic (SIVT) detection and filtration.
“OTT platforms offer marketers opportunity for high performance advertising but, with growing rates of IVT seen across providers, working with accredited, cross-platform fraud partners is critical to OTT success. Our MRC accreditation for SIVT detection and filtration in OTT enables marketers to confidently protect their growing video investments,” says Jalal Nasir, Pixalate CEO.

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.”
