Are you looking for some invalid traffic examples to help you understand it better and possibly even prevent it? Although some types of invalid traffic types might be easily avoidable, others are much more difficult to prevent unless you use sophisticated technology to automate the process.
Here are some of the main examples:
- Bots or automated tools clicking on your ads
- Accidental clicks (this can be avoided if you don’t put ads too close to content or other clickable elements of your website)
- Clicks from competitors or users repetitively clicking on your ads or other suspicious behavior such as repetitive mouse patterns.
- Aggressive ad refreshes (avoidable with the right setup)
The fact is that any of these examples can be causing your invalid traffic issues. As mentioned, some factors like ad refreshes and accidental clicks are mostly avoidable, but for others, you need to get some outside help.
