In the age of digital marketing and affiliate programs, every ad network faces one of the most pressing challenges — fraud. Fraud in online advertising can severely impact ad campaign ROI, reduce trust in affiliate programs, and increase marketing spend. Bots, click fraud, and data distortion are just a few of the threats advertisers and affiliate networks encounter daily.
The Kaminari Click anti-fraud system was specifically designed to combat fraudulent schemes, improve traffic quality, and optimize ad performance. We understand the importance of protecting traffic from fraud and offer the top five anti-fraud technologies that not only safeguard your ads but also enhance results.
1. Machine Learning to Detect Traffic Anomalies
Machine learning (ML) has become the backbone of anti-fraud systems due to its ability to process and analyze vast amounts of data in real-time. Kaminari Click uses ML to detect complex user behavior patterns and identify fraudulent activity before it has a chance to cause harm.
ML algorithms detect behavioral anomalies such as:
- Unrealistically high CTR (Click Through Rate)
- Sessions that are too short or too long
- Repeated IP addresses and devices
- Unusual traffic geolocation
These metrics are instantly analyzed, and our algorithm can classify suspicious activities in several stages. This allows ad networks and affiliate programs to make informed decisions and filter out unwanted traffic, protecting their budgets.
2. Device Fingerprinting for Tracking Repeat Fraudsters
One of the most common fraud methods involves using different devices or sessions to repeatedly access campaigns. A device may mask itself as a new user by using various browsers, VPNs, or emulators to bypass traditional protection systems.
Kaminari Click uses device fingerprinting technology to uniquely identify each device, even if it tries to hide behind proxies or browser changes. This technology analyzes over 100 device parameters (such as operating system configuration, screen resolution, language, and other hidden data), creating a unique digital fingerprint that is extremely difficult to fake.
By utilizing device fingerprinting, affiliate networks can reduce the number of repeat attacks and fraud attempts, ensuring protection not only from mass attacks but also from targeted fraudulent activities.
3. IP and Geolocation Profiling
Fraud is often linked to suspicious or unusual IP addresses and locations. Kaminari Click analyzes IP addresses for suspicious patterns, such as:
- Multiple clicks from the same IP address
- Use of data centers and proxy servers
- A high number of clicks from countries outside the target audience
Geolocation is also a crucial factor in identifying fraud. If an ad campaign is targeted at a specific country, but the majority of clicks are coming from other regions, this is a clear sign of fraudulent activity. Our system analyzes geolocation data in real time, allowing partners to block suspicious traffic sources.
4. Bot Detection: Identifying Bots Using Behavioral Patterns
Bots are becoming increasingly sophisticated, mimicking real user actions such as cursor movement, page scrolling, or clicking on interface elements. However, even such advanced bots can be detected.
Kaminari Click bot-filtering technology uses both behavioral data (mouse movement, speed of interaction with the site) and technical parameters (API requests, browser responses) to accurately identify bots. Even if a bot behaves almost like a human, our behavioral data analyzer can distinguish it from a real user.
This is especially important for affiliate networks and CPA programs, where bots can artificially inflate results like conversions, clicks, and other KPIs, misleading advertisers and reducing campaign effectiveness.
5. Anti-Fraud Reporting and Real-Time Monitoring
One of the key elements of a successful anti-fraud system is transparent and timely reporting. Kaminari Click offers advanced monitoring and reporting capabilities, allowing partners to track all suspicious activities and take action in real time.
Our system provides detailed reports on traffic quality, sessions, click sources, and fraud detection, helping affiliate networks and advertisers understand where and how fraudulent activities occur. Combined with the ability to instantly block suspicious IP addresses and traffic sources, this technology reduces the risk of loss and enables a quick response to threats.
