Don't let scammers damage your app installs

Mobile ad fraud is a type of click fraud perpetrated by malicious individuals who steal your marketing budget through fake app downloads. This is done through bot farms, click farms, or device emulation, often across multiple mobile ad network companies.

It wastes your advertising budget, corrupts your data, can damage your brand reputation, and negatively impacts your app store ranking.

Signs include high install rates with low engagement and suspicious attribution data. For conclusive results, a specialized fraud detection tool is necessary.

Both are forms of mobile click fraud. Click Injection is highly targeted; fraudsters 'inject' a click just before an app opens, stealing credit for an imminent organic install.

When your campaigns are flooded with fraud, your campaign data sent to mobile ad network companies becomes unreliable. This can lead to a damaged trust relationship and potentially lower campaign prioritization from the networks.
