2020 has proven that predictions and forecasts in online advertising can be easy altered by global events. While at the beginning of 2020 analytics predicted the market growth of least 25%, in summer 2020 the forecasts were changed to 5% growth. Ultimately, some reports have suggested that online ads almost came out dry from water and hadn’t suffered major casualties. However, there is no doubt that 2020 changed the order.

2020 reflects higher numbers in detected ad fraud — 31.5% of traffic was fraudulent in 2019, but 38% was marked as “fraud” in 2020. In general, 2020 had more users online than any other previous year. Due to global isolation and strict policies in all of the countries, people spent the majority of their time online working, having fun and communicating.

  • There are lots of manuals about earning money over the internet. Most of them are about making fraudulent mobile installs. As soon as new “manual” comes out we see peaks of low quality traffic. But as soon as we began using FraudScore service we cut managers who were working on checking traffic quality two times. Using their convenient report with set of filters, you can generate different type of reports showing you the traffic quality in different contexts. This helped us to find lots of cheaters and poor quality affiliates.

  • FraudScore’s fraud monitoring system is particularly useful in this regard as it allows daily check on affiliates conversions and indicates the level of fraud detected for each conversion. The fact that the system not only monitors normal desktop traffic, but, also tracks and accurately reports on mobile traffic in relation to Emulators, VPN’s, Bot farms and IP pattern recognition allows us to make informed decisions when reviewing assigned affiliate caps and encouraging more traffic.
