Avoid ad fraud with Oracle Advertising Bot Filtration: Show your ads to people, not bots

Ad fraud cost advertisers $65 billion globally in 2021, and it’s only going to get more difficult to stop. As the advertising ecosystem becomes more complex and malicious bots become more sophisticated, the amount of ad revenue lost to fraud is estimated to reach $100 billion by 2023.

The dangers of ad fraud

When there’s money changing hands, there will always be fraudsters with malicious intent trying to steal a piece of the pie. It’s imperative advertisers take action to prevent ad fraud as best they can, not only to minimize lost ad spend, but to safeguard their brand reputation.

Oracle Advertising Bot Filtration and verification solutions gives you the confidence to trust your campaign data

Advertisers and agencies expect their supply partners to deliver quality impressions and identify any instances of invalid traffic, a necessary but challenging task that costs platforms and publishers time and money. From the advertiser’s perspective, if ads aren’t being shown to real people, they cannot trust their campaign KPIs.

Imagine discovering six months into a multi-million dollar advertising campaign that the ads you  ran were not viewed by humans. Or worse, imagine running a campaign without any visibility into invalid traffic at all, relying on profoundly inaccurate performance analytics that negatively impact ad results and business outcomes.

Past attempts to prevent invalid traffic have been tedious at best or horribly ineffective, from manually blocking individual IP addresses to mass-blocking huge chunks of potential ad placements. In addition to malicious ad fraud, general invalid traffic can occur at any touchpoint, whether it be a user or a benign internet related service.

To be truly effective at blocking invalid traffic, advertisers and publishers alike need a large-scale solution. Fortunately, Oracle has the answer: With the launch of Oracle Advertising Bot Filtration, we’ve added a new feature to our award-winning fraud detection solution, Oracle Moat.

Oracle’s dedication to building secure infrastructures and online security solutions uniquely qualitfies us to tackle the challenges of ad fraud. Our global threat intelligence team has been digging into malware-riddled code to identify patterns associated with malicious bot activity. Oracle Advertising Bot Filtration is based on this research, giving advertisers, platforms and publishers the tools they need to identify bot activity and invalid traffic sources.
