Understand the necessity

Why are filters important?

By now, we all know that people will do whatever it takes for an extra buck. This industry makes no exception and these days a lot of traffic is shady to say the least.

Such traffic can lead to demand partners loss, canceled payments and so on. To help you prevent such situations, Adtransfer has built-in filters that will allow you to rule out junk traffic.

What we do to help you

Our approach for filtering generated / bot / fake traffic.

When the platform was developed, we coded a 3-way system that will allow you to rule out most of the fake traffic while maintaining flexibility and performance. There are two request level options in your platform settings that allow you to filter out requests from known hosting providers as well as known proxy IP addresses, and another three that allow you to manually create lists of individual IP addresses that will be blocked, IP ranges and specific ASNAMEs.

Further more, if you would like a specific 3rd party request level filter integration such as MaxMind minFraud, we can integrate it in your version. Be mindful, however, because on high volumes such services will be extremely expensive.
