Manual Click Fraud

• Manual click fraud, as per the experts of the
  Marketing 2.0 Conference, occurs when individuals
  or groups deliberately click on an advertiser's
  ad multiple times, with no real interest in the
  product or service being offered. This is
  typically done to artificially inflate the
  click-through rate or to exhaust an advertiser's
  budget.
• The fraudsters may use various methods, such as
  hiring people to click on ads, using automated
  tools to simulate clicks, or clicking on ads from
  multiple devices or IP addresses.

Automated Click Fraud

• Automated click fraud, as per digital marketing
  conferences, refers to the use of bots or scripts
  to click on online advertisements without the
  knowledge or intention of a real user. It is a
  significant threat to digital advertising
  campaigns and can result in wasted ad spend and
  decreased ROI.
• This type of fraud is executed by bots that mimic
  human behavior and are designed to simulate
  clicks, pageviews, and impressions on digital ads.

Click Farms

• Click farms are businesses that hire a large
  number of individuals or bots to generate clicks
  on ads, likes, followers, and views on various
  online platforms. The purpose of click farms is
  to deceive businesses into believing that their
  online campaigns are performing well. These farms
  create fake engagement by employing human workers
  to continuously click on ads, making it seem like
  there is a higher level of engagement than there
  actually is.
• They can also use automated programs to generate
  traffic to websites and social media platforms.
  Businesses can spot click fraud, as per top
  e-commerce conferences in 2023, by monitoring
  user engagement and clicks on their online
  campaigns.

Ad Stacking

• Ad stacking is a type of click scam, as per top
  e-commerce conferences in 2023, in which multiple
  ads are stacked on top of one another, making it
  impossible for users to see or click on any ad
  except for the top one. This technique is
  commonly used to boost ad impressions and
  click-through rates (CTRs) artificially.
• Ad stacking violates Google's advertising
  policies and can result in penalties, account
  suspension, or even legal consequences. It is
  essential for advertisers to monitor their
  campaigns regularly and identify any fraudulent
  activity.

Competitor Clicks

• Competitor clicks are clicks on your
  advertisements made by your competitors with the
  intention of sabotaging your advertising budget.
  They may use bots or hire people to click on your
  ads repeatedly to deplete your advertising
  budget. Competitor clicks may also be referred to
  as click fraud, as per top e-commerce conferences
  in 2023, which is an illegal activity that can
  lead to severe financial losses for your
  business.
• Competitor clicks may come from companies that
  are vying for your target audience, have a
  history of fraudulent activities, or simply want
  to cause harm to your business. These clicks can
  distort your campaign performance data and may
  cause your ads to be less visible to your actual
  customers.

Mobile Click Fraud

• Mobile click fraud is a type of click fraud, as
  per best marketing conferences in 2023, that
  occurs on mobile devices. Click fraud is when an
  individual or entity clicks on an online
  advertisement with the intention of depleting the
  advertiser's budget, increasing the publisher's
  revenue, or promoting their own content.
• Mobile click fraud occurs specifically on mobile
  devices such as smartphones and tablets, and it
  can be perpetuated by automated software or by
  individuals. It can also be perpetuated through
  the use of fraudulent apps that mimic real users,
  leading to a higher number of clicks on an ad
  than actual human users would generate.

  types of click fraud, as per the best marketing
