FAQ
Common Questions
How much ad fraud is there in performance marketing?
Industry estimates suggest 20–40% of digital ad traffic can be fraudulent depending on the vertical and traffic source. Pay-per-call campaigns are particularly targeted by call farming operations. Our system blocks an average of 18% of events as fraudulent across our network.
What types of fraud does your system detect?
We detect bot traffic, click farms, call farming, robocalls, duplicate submissions, geographic spoofing, device fingerprint manipulation, proxy/VPN abuse, and conversion fraud. Our detection library is updated continuously as new fraud patterns emerge.
Does fraud prevention slow down legitimate conversions?
No — our system adds sub-millisecond latency to event processing. Legitimate conversions flow through instantly while fraudulent signals are blocked in parallel. You won't notice any performance impact on clean traffic.
Can I see which traffic sources are generating fraud?
Yes. Your fraud dashboard shows fraud rates by traffic source, publisher, geographic region, and device type. This gives you the intelligence to optimize publisher relationships and media buying decisions beyond just blocking fraud.
Is Hawks Media's fraud prevention available as a standalone service?
Yes — fraud prevention is available as a standalone product for advertisers running campaigns outside of the Hawks Media network. Contact us to discuss integration options for your existing campaign infrastructure.
