Traffic security for ad campaigns
Reduce low-quality traffic risk with a secure redirect layer, basic filtering rules, and access controls.
Goal: keep operations stable and improve traffic quality — without complicating user experience.
-
Reduce fake clicksLimit noisy low-quality traffic and cleaner reports.
-
Control sourcesFilter by referrer/conditions to limit unwanted access.
-
Safe rulesUse allow/deny lists to match your campaign needs.
Common security mechanisms
Allow/Deny lists
Whitelist/blacklist IP/ASN/region (depending on your system) to control access.
Secure redirect layer
An intermediate redirect layer can reduce structural exposure and add control.
Rule-based filtering
Combine conditions (referrer/device/country) to filter poor-fit traffic.
Safe fallback
If not valid, route to a safe fallback page to avoid dead ends.
Safe setup (4 steps)
Define protection goals
Decide what you want to reduce: bots, fake clicks, unknown sources…
Set allow/deny rules
Start light with a small deny list to avoid blocking real users.
Combine with smart redirects
Order specific rules first (country+device), broad rules later.
Monitor & iterate
Use analytics to tune lists and rules over time.
Principles (avoid over-blocking)
Best practices- Don’t over-block: start with a small deny list and expand from data.
- Always set a fallback URL/page to prevent dead ends.
- Separate rules by channel (Google/Facebook/TikTok) to reduce noise.
- Watch uniques/country/device to detect anomalies early.
