Advertising And Bot Fraud To Be Investigated

By Jashua Moses


White Ops has been hired in order to target the major advertisers and see how they are going about their day-to-day practices. Are they only resorting to using bot fraud in order to get the attention of prospective customers? This is being done after a lot of claims are being made that the major advertisers are cutting corners and just using bot fraud to inflate numbers. White Ops is a renowned named in the advertising security world and will be using their research to put together a firm report by October.

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?

The government has finally be prodded into doing a study and seeing how far the issue falls in order to get a read. This will help set the legislation to guard against bot fraud in the future. The goal is to put together legalities that are in sync with what is taking place in the world of advertising.

The changes that are going to be made will be composed based around the idea of making sure the laws fit with the type of bot fraud going on. There are several variations as to bot fraud that can take place and the ANA wants to be on top of this right away. This investigation should help get a better feel of what is happening and what should be done in terms of legislation down the road by the government.

Bot fraud has been going on for a long time ever since the digital realm became a viable solution to use for advertising. It has become the easiest way to get to the most number of people possible and as fast as possible too.

The White Ops campaign is going to bring forth a lot of answers as to how far the bot fraud problem goes and how it has to be tackled. Their recommendations are going to be used by the ANA to establish their next course of action against the top 30 advertisers.
