NativeIs NewsBreak Ads traffic real?
How to check NewsBreak Ads traffic quality: every visit scored 0–100 and pinned to the native sub-source that sent it — worst first, with the evidence to act on.
placement/platform in NewsBreak AdsA buyer cannot upload a bad-ID list; the most they can do is run a Custom Report by Placement and then restrict the ad set to exclude a whole platform (e.g. drop Premium Partner), or — managed accounts only — ask their account manager to denylist specific publishers via Brand Suitability Controls.
ValidVisit reports the device, OS, browser — down to the version — plus the language and ISP behind every flagged visit, and NewsBreak Ads supports OS, language and connection type targeting. The segments we flag are segments you can exclude.
How invalid traffic shows up on NewsBreak Ads.
NewsBreak Ads is a native channel — exactly where invalid traffic concentrates. See which NewsBreak Ads publishers, placements and sub-sources send real clicks versus bots, attributed via NewsBreak Ads’s own tracking tokens and scored 0–100 per source.
Pinpoint the bot publishers & placements in NewsBreak Ads.
NewsBreak Ads 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 NewsBreak Ads tokens, not by creative (which says nothing about whether a click was human).

How the detection works.
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.
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.
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.
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.
NewsBreak Ads traffic quality, answered.
How does ValidVisit detect invalid NewsBreak Ads traffic?+
Every NewsBreak Ads 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 NewsBreak Ads publishers send bots?+
Yes. Using NewsBreak Ads'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 NewsBreak Ads.
Does it require a funnel hop on my NewsBreak Ads links?+
No. Detection runs from one lightweight script — no extra hop, no link rewriting, no change to your NewsBreak Ads destination URLs.
