Supply Chain Object Verification Report - Mobile Apps

Pixalate's Q2 2024 Supply Path Optimization (SPO) Report for Mobile Apps contains insights from Pixalate’s OpenRTB SCO verification process, which examines open programmatic advertising Supply Chain Objects (SCO) across Mobile Apps and also measures its implications for Invalid Traffic (IVT, including ad fraud).

Key Findings:

  • 35% of app traffic with a SupplyChain Object (SCO) failed Pixalate’s SCO Verification due to unauthorized sellers
  • +100% higher IVT rate seen when an alleged ‘complete’ chain has an unauthorized direct seller compared to verified supply paths
  • 12% of purported direct sellers in app traffic with an SCO were unauthorized

The analysis includes a set of SCO verification checks as defined by Pixalate, utilizing IAB Tech Lab’s ads.txt/app-ads.txt standards, along with SCO data from the OpenRTB bid stream to evaluate the accuracy of declared supply paths in the ad bid stream.

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.”
