What is bot traffic?

Bot traffic is non-human activity that can waste ad budget and corrupt data. Here's what it is, how it gets into campaigns, and how FroggyAds filters it out.

Bot traffic explained

Why bots hurt twice

Bot traffic is automated activity – scripts, crawlers, data-center and proxy traffic – that mimics real users but can never become a customer. It hurts advertisers twice: first by spending budget on worthless visits, and second by corrupting the conversion data you rely on to optimize, so you make bad decisions on top of wasted spend.

FroggyAds defends against it with Adscore, which screens every impression for bots and invalid traffic before you're billed, plus source-level blacklists so you can cut any source showing bot-like patterns. No filter is perfect, but this combination materially protects both your budget and your data. Clean traffic is the foundation of every good campaign – and it starts from $50.
