Ad Fraud In The First Six Months of 2021

New FraudScore’s report is here, and it covers the first half of 2021. After the global events of 2020 the whole world is slowly getting back on track, and so do the fraudsters. So FraudScore’s analysts team shares:

  • General ad fraud statistics for Jan-Jun, 2021;
  • Reports and insights regarding the most fraudulent geos, the most detected ad fraud types for both mobile and web traffic;
  • Ad fraud statistics for Android and iOS devices, and the most fraudulent app categories, etc.

This report not only shows the situation with global ad fraud in 2021, but also compares ad fraud data from 2020 and the current statistics for 2021.

In 2020 38% of global ad traffic was fraudulent, whilst in 2021 we see only 24.3% of ad fraud. Such a significant decrease! But why did it happen? What are the reasons? Is the situation really so good, and is the improvement so obvious? Are we going to have cleaner traffic from now on? Let’s find out!

  • 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.
    Nickolay, CEO at Mobiaff.ru
  • 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.
