Cutting-edge fraud detection for everyone
All Branch partners receive our best-in-class fraud detection solution.
We provide metrics you can use to eliminate low quality traffic by working with your ad networks, and our cross-platform reach makes us uniquely positioned to provide fraud insights based on data signals no other provider can match.
Our research team uses web and app signals to monitor fraudulent activity, and is constantly adding protection as new fraudulent patterns emerge.
Common fraud techniques Branch helps you prevent
Fake Devices/Click Farms
Install Hijacking/Click Injection
Click Flooding
Ad Stacking
Fraud method: use emulators and device farms to generate fraudulent clicks.
Detection strategy: blacklisted IPs, because many conversions will come from the same IP address; high click-to-install rates, because this fraud method is most cost-effective when clicks lead to installs.
Fraud method: use a compromised app already on the device to detect installs, and fire off a click just before the new app is opened.
Detection strategy: short click-to-install times, because users typically open apps right after downloading them.
Fraud method: generate millions of clicks with random device IDs (IDFA or GAID), and hope that some of those users will install later.
Detection strategy: long click-to-install times, because there is no legitimate connection between click and install.
Fraud method: layer dozens of ads on top of each other, leading to fraudulent clicks on ads that aren't even visible.
Detection strategy: low click-to-install rates, because this fraud method generates excessive numbers of clicks.
