Click Fraud

Click fraud can come from competitors, bots, click farms, brand haters, VPN users, proxy users, and low-quality traffic sources.

Fake clicks waste budget, increase cost per lead, damage campaign data, reduce ad visibility, and create poor-quality traffic.

Google has invalid traffic systems, but many advertisers still use third-party protection to get deeper visibility, faster reports, and more control over suspicious traffic. Reference ClickCease also explains that Google has prevention processes but marketers may still need additional protection.

Invalid traffic makes reports inaccurate by increasing visits, lowering engagement quality, polluting audiences, and creating fake conversion signals.
