Hey, here are some tips that can help you to detect fraud traffic:
  • Enormously high download rate from one source
  • Over-short period between click and install
  • Identical behaviour patterns for the group of installs (install-opening-action with the same time period or same sequence of in-app actions)
  • Different geos for click and install
  • Bulks: numerous installs from the same device ID or IP address
  • Click IP = Advertiser’s IP
  • Other inconsistencies, e.g. difference between click and install geo, difference between geo of download and app language settings, high install rate at night, etc.
To prevent fraud, work only with trusted publishers and always measure and control the sources. If you work with networks, choose those who work with anti-fraud systems like Forensiq etc.
 
Are you asking about fraud traffic in your online product selling? If so, you can take an example from Amazon FBA strategy. Amazon is playing tough with third-party sellers by enforcing protections on a growing list of brands — and restricted categories. Sometimes the Amazon Algorithms also ban genuine products instead of the counterfeiters, retail arbitrage etc. Tools like JungleScout, Sellics, SellerPrime, AmZScout etc help sellers to a great extent, but again it all depends on the right product, pricing, and competition. It would seem Amazon has decided to begin forcing sellers to prove they are authorized to sell branded goods – and to pass along the cost of the policy to the sellers themselves. Now sellers feel Amazon is too quick to suspend business partners, too slow to review appeals and leaves them overwhelmed with inventory they can’t sell.
 
Set a daily CAP for each affiliate until there traffic quality is reviewed. Also threaten to NOT pay affiliates if it is found that fraud traffic has been used.
