What is mobile ad fraud?+
Mobile ad fraud is when bad actors fake installs, clicks or in-app events to steal advertising budget. Common types include click flooding, device farms, SDK spoofing, and install hijacking.
How does AppMeasurely detect fraud?+
AppMeasurely runs 8 fraud detection rules on every install event: IP blacklist check, CTIT analysis, device velocity, click flooding, geo anomaly, publisher CVR spike, multi-app install, and custom rules. Each install gets a risk score.
Does fraud protection slow down attribution?+
No. Fraud checks run in parallel with attribution and add less than 5ms of latency. Blocked installs are logged but never counted in your metrics.
Can I set custom rules per partner?+
Yes. You can override global fraud rules per partner. For example, you might allow higher CTIT for rewarded video partners while keeping strict rules for display networks.
