Exclude the bad publisher/source ID and zone ID in Traffic Nomads

The buyer edits the campaign, pastes the bad publisher/zone ID list into the Publishers field (values separated by a comma and a space), and selects the "Blacklist" option — or ticks/excludes the same IDs one by one from the stats dashboard.

Where: Two documented paths: (1) exclude publishers/zones directly on the stats dashboard while optimizing a campaign (per-zone bids also live there, under the "Zone" tab); (2) Create/Edit Campaign → "Campaign Targeting" → Publishers field

What Traffic Nomads lets you judge by.

Publisher / site / zone

Per-click id: Traffic Nomads passes a unique click id, and ValidVisit stores it with each visit, so a verdict traces back to the click in Traffic Nomads’s own reports.

FAQ

Traffic Nomads traffic quality, answered.

How does ValidVisit detect invalid Traffic Nomads traffic?

Every Traffic Nomads visit is checked against 100+ independent data points spanning the network it came from, the device behind it and the page it loaded. One thing a real visitor cannot produce makes it Invalid; otherwise it is Valid, with its evidence either way.

Can I see which Traffic Nomads publishers send bots?

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

Does it require a funnel hop on my Traffic Nomads links?

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