Advertising And Bot Fraud To Be Investigated

By Jashua Moses


The existence of bot fraud has been around for a long time in the advertising industry. Why waste time on advertising personally, when bots can do the same job for you? This is the line of thinking that has been spread across the industry and is used by some of the most successful giants in the advertising world on a regular basis. It is all about cutting costs and maximizing time and that can only be done with bot fraud.

The ANA has decided it is time to start looking into the top 30 advertisers and seeing what type of practices they are employing. They have put together a campaign that is going to be used in order to see what type of advertising is going on by these giants in the advertising world. Are they only using legitimate ways to advertise? Are they being fraudulent with their approaches?

White Ops is the company that is going to be responsible for doing the month-long study and seeing how these major advertisers are running their businesses. It is important for them to provide clarity to this situation and see what the ground reality is with digital advertising and whether harsher restrictions are required.

White Ops will be looking to get this report in as soon as possible and have already started working on putting together codes and tricks. They will want to have everything in line to make sure they are able to track all of the bots that are out there working on behalf of the major advertisers around the nation. The goal is to not only reduce the amount of bot fraud, but to essentially get rid of it and this is the first step in the process.

White Ops is an advertising security firm that has been hired by the ANA to take a look at the issue at hand. Is bot fraud a problem that is going to cause a lot of headaches or is it something that is more part of a scaremongering bunch who believe the advertisers are taking advantage of the system?

This is the question that the White Ops firm has to answer by October when their report is due. They are going to do a month-long study to see what kind of bot fraud is being done and how severe it is.
