Which MediaGo publishers send real traffic?

Not all MediaGo traffic is equal. ValidVisit scores every visit 0–100 and pins it to the exact publisher that sent it — so you can tell real humans from bots and invalid clicks, worst publishers first.

Exclude the bad site in MediaGo

The buyer adds each bad site's site_id/domain to the campaign's block list (op=0 block / op=1 unblock), max 100 sites per API call; tools like TheOptimizer automate this into dynamic global blacklists per campaign.

01 / SIGNAL

How invalid traffic slips in through MediaGo publishers.

MediaGo is a native channel — exactly where invalid traffic concentrates. See which MediaGo publishers, placements and sub-sources send real clicks versus bots, attributed via MediaGo’s own tracking tokens and scored 0–100 per source.

02 / SCORED

Pinpoint the bot publishers & placements in MediaGo.

MediaGo itself isn't the problem — bots and invalid traffic concentrate in a handful of its sub-sources: the publisher, site or zone, and the placement or widget within it. So we roll the score up by those MediaGo tokens, not by creative (which says nothing about whether a click was human).

Bought as one MediaGo line, your spend is a single number. Scored per sub-source it runs from 86 down to 20 — the worst is nearly all bots. That’s the leak a blended average hides.

Publisher / site / zone

Bot / invalid-traffic score broken down by:

  • Site ID ${SITE_ID}Identifier of the publisher site/placement where the click was served.

Per-click id: MediaGo passes a unique click id, so we also run velocity, deduplication and repeat-source checks on every visit.

04 / DETECTION

How the detection works.

100+
Scale

Data points → one score

Every visit is weighed against more than a hundred independent data points and reduced to a single, sortable 0–100 quality score.

1 verdict
Depth

Many angles, combined

Each data point is combined rather than checked in isolation, so a genuine human almost never trips enough of them to be flagged — and bots that beat one rarely beat the rest.

0–100
Model

Proprietary, not a black box

The detection model is ours and stays that way. What you get is a clear verdict on every visit — not a single brittle rule you can game, and not an unexplained number you can't act on.

per source
Action

Pinned to the source

Every verdict maps to the campaign, publisher and placement that sent the click — so you know exactly which source to cut.

05 / THE CUT-LIST

How ValidVisit helps you cut fraud and bad sites on MediaGo.

Scoring and attribution are the means — the point is cutting the MediaGo traffic that wastes your spend. Here's how ValidVisit gets you a list you can act on.

  1. Score

    See what's actually landing

    You buy MediaGo clicks; what arrives are visits. ValidVisit scores each one 0–100 so real humans stand out from bots and invalid traffic — one script, no funnel hop, no fingerprinting.

  2. Attribute

    Pin the fraud to its source

    Every scored visit is tied to the exact MediaGo site and zone via the network's own tokens — so the bad traffic has an address, not just a headline percentage.

  3. Cut

    Take the sites off your buy

    You get the worst offenders as a ready-to-use list plus postbacks to your tracker — so you can exclude them in MediaGo and put your next dollar behind the traffic that converts.

FAQ

MediaGo traffic quality, answered.

How does ValidVisit detect invalid MediaGo traffic?+

Every MediaGo click is weighed against 100+ independent data points spanning the network it came from, the device behind it and how the visitor behaves — combined into a single 0–100 quality score so real humans pass and bots stand out.

Can I see which MediaGo publishers send bots?+

Yes. Using MediaGo's own tracking tokens, ValidVisit attributes each scored click to the publisher, placement and sub-source, so invalid traffic is pinned to the exact sub-source — which you can then exclude manually in MediaGo.

Does it require a funnel hop on my MediaGo links?+

No. Detection runs from one lightweight script — no extra hop, no link rewriting, no change to your MediaGo destination URLs.
