Pixalate's Q1 2024 Made for Advertising (MFA) Report for Websites benchmarks advertising trends on MFA websites, including ad spend, invalid traffic and ad fraud, the top ad platforms selling ads on MFA websites, and the MFA websites with the most advertising.
MFA websites and apps can feature intrusive advertising techniques like pop-up ads, auto-play videos, or ads restricting access to content, often resulting in a poor advertising-to-attention ratio. Our data science team analyzed over 20 billion global open programmatic ad impressions on 450k+ domains and subdomains in Q1 2024 to compile this research.

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.”
