Is AdsCompass traffic real?

How to check AdsCompass traffic quality: every visit scored 0–100 and pinned to the push sub-source that sent it — worst first, with the evidence to act on.

Exclude the bad source in AdsCompass

The buyer takes the bad Source IDs surfaced by their tracker (AdsCompass passes [site_id]/[ad_id]-style macros to trackers) and adds them to the campaign's Source ID blacklist optimization list, or moves good ones to a whitelist campaign at a higher bid.

01 / SIGNAL

How invalid traffic shows up on AdsCompass.

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

02 / SCORED

Pinpoint the bot publishers & placements in AdsCompass.

AdsCompass 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 AdsCompass tokens, not by creative (which says nothing about whether a click was human).

  • Site ID [site_id]

Per-click id: AdsCompass 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.

FAQ

AdsCompass traffic quality, answered.

How does ValidVisit detect invalid AdsCompass traffic?+

Every AdsCompass 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 AdsCompass publishers send bots?+

Yes. Using AdsCompass'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 AdsCompass.

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

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