For high-volume advertisers, a static list of 500 IPs is nowhere near enough to stop thousands of different bots.
To solve this, ClickSambo treats that 500-slot limit not as a static storage box, but as a dynamic, high-speed revolving door.
Sophisticated click farms and botnets rarely use just one IP address; they operate across entire subnets (groups of related IPs).
| Strategy | Methodology | Efficiency & Result |
| The Old Way (Standard) | Adds bot IPs (e.g., .5 and .6) individually to the exclusion list. | Uses up 2 slots for 2 specific IPs. |
| The ClickSambo Way | Identifies the malicious data center and blocks the whole range via CIDR (e.g., .0/24). | Uses only 1 slot to block the entire IP block. |
| The Strategic Result | Covers a much wider attack surface and stops future threats with one entry. | Effectively blocks 256 different IPs at once with just 1 slot. |
Even with range blocking, the list will eventually fill up. This is where our Dynamic List Management takes over.
Think of your exclusion list as a VIP club for the most active threats only.
| Feature | How It Works | Strategic Benefit |
| Real-Time Priority | Instantly adds new, high-danger threats to the top of your exclusion list. | Stops financial "bleeding" immediately by blocking attackers as they strike. |
| Smart Rotation | Identifies and removes the "oldest" inactive IPs from the bottom of the list. | Automatically creates space for new threats, ensuring continuous protection. |
This First-In, First-Out (FIFO) approach ensures that your 500 slots are always occupied by the active threats attacking you right now, rather than old bots that disappeared months ago.
By combining Range Blocking (efficiency) with FIFO Rotation (currency), ClickSambo transforms a limited 500-slot list into an evolving shield capable of blocking tens of thousands of threats over the life of your campaign.
