Taboola Fraud Landscape

Why Native Ads Need Fraud Protection

20–35%

of native ad traffic can be fraudulent

Industry studies show that native advertising faces some of the highest fraud rates in digital advertising — bots, click farms, and fake engagement.

>80%

bounce rate = bot traffic red flag

High CTRs with zero conversions, >80% bounce rates, and 0-second sessions in analytics are classic signs of bot traffic on native campaigns.

DV, IAS

aren’t catching everything

Even with DoubleVerify, IAS, and Moat, sophisticated fraud still gets through. Opticks adds 30+ detection methods on top of what platforms already filter.

High CTRs but no conversions? That’s not a targeting problem — it’s bot traffic eating your Taboola budget. Opticks detects and prevents it automatically.

30+ Fraud Types

Fraud Types Opticks Detects on Taboola

Bot Clicks

Sophisticated bots mimic human behaviour on native ads. Opticks detects them with device fingerprinting and behavioural analysis.

Fake Conversions

Fraudulent form fills and sign-ups pollute your data. Opticks verifies conversion quality and flags fake engagement.

Data Center Traffic

Clicks from cloud servers, not real users. Identified via IP intelligence and ASN classification.

VPN & Proxy Traffic

Fraudsters hide behind VPNs and proxies. Opticks detects residential proxies and geo-mismatches.

Retargeting Pollution

Bots pollute your remarketing audiences with fake sessions. Opticks verifies session quality and engagement signals.

Geo-Masking Fraud

Clicks appear to come from target geos but originate elsewhere. Opticks cross-references multiple location signals to expose mismatches.
