Is MediaGo traffic real? How to check MediaGo traffic quality

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.

Pinpoint the bot publishers & placements in MediaGo

MediaGoitself 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).

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. Seeded from public references — pending confirmation.

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

How the detection works

100+
Scale

Data points → one score

Every click 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 click — 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.

MediaGo traffic quality — FAQ

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.
