Clickfraud
Clickfraud monitors website visits to identify harmful automated traffic and help protect advertising budgets on Google Ads and Yandex.Direct. Its detection combines machine-learning and neural-network analysis with behavioral factors, cluster analysis, ClientID, browser fingerprints, and mouse-movement signals. Suspicious sessions can be sent through an API to Yandex and Google so future ads can be withheld from those visitors. Plans provide website monitoring, a personal reporting account, and daily email reports. Pricing is based on total website visits, and the service says it analyzes every visit whether advertising-related or not. Setup involves adding a website domain, supplying counter details and a token for Yandex or Google, then placing generated protection code on the site. The Small plan costs $49 a month, billed daily, for up to 10,000 visits; larger listed plans cover up to 200,000 visits, while Custom pricing applies above that. A 7-day trial is available, with no free plan. The budget-savings report currently works for Yandex.Direct.
