Is OnClickA traffic real? How to check OnClickA traffic quality

Exclude the bad source domain in OnClickA

ValidVisit flags the bad [DOMAIN]; add those source domains to your OnClickA campaign blacklist.

Where: campaign domain blacklist

OnClickA is a self-serve, multi-format network (push, popunder, in-page, banner) with a wide publisher base. It exposes the source [DOMAIN] (the publisher domain a click came from), [CAMPAIGN_ID], an ad id ([WEB_PUSH_ID]) and a [CLICK_ID] on every click — and the domain is the unit you blacklist in the campaign. ValidVisit reads those tokens as each click lands, then weighs the click against 100+ independent data points — the network and publisher it came through, the device on the other end and the way the visitor actually behaves — and folds them into one 0–100 quality score. The result is a per-domain readout of which source domains are carrying non-human traffic.

How invalid traffic shows up on OnClickA

OnClickA's popunder and in-page formats fire without a deliberate click, so automated page-loaders can trigger events at scale — and they concentrate by source domain. The dominant pattern is automated loaders running out of hosting infrastructure or rented residential proxies, clustered in specific [DOMAIN] values rather than spread evenly across the campaign.

A second pattern is mismatched client behavior — connections whose technical profile doesn't line up with a genuine browser on the OS it claims, the kind of gap that scripted clients and modified browser builds leave behind. A third is inert visitors: domains with a disproportionate share of clients that load the page but never behave like a person operating it. Because [DOMAIN] rides on every click, the 0–100 score pins each of these to the individual source domain, so one bad domain stays separable from a campaign that is otherwise clean.

What to watch on OnClickA

Source domain ([DOMAIN]) IVT distribution

Rank active [DOMAIN] values by quality and by the share of clicks in the suspicious/bad tier. Domains above your baseline are blacklist candidates.

Hosting / proxy traffic concentration per domain

Pop and in-page clicks routed through cloud infrastructure or proxy networks rarely convert. ValidVisit ties each of these findings back to the [DOMAIN] so you blacklist the offending sources cleanly.

Client-mismatch and inert-visitor rate

Clients whose technical profile contradicts the browser they claim, plus an elevated share of visitors who load but never genuinely engage within a domain, point to automated loaders — patterns far harder to fake than a user-agent string.

Volume-to-conversion by campaign

A spike in [CAMPAIGN_ID] clicks without conversions usually traces to a specific source domain the per-domain breakdown will identify.

Pinpoint the bot publishers & placements in OnClickA

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

Per-click id: OnClickA 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.

OnClickA traffic quality — FAQ

How do I set up ValidVisit for OnClickA?+

Add ValidVisit's script to your landing page and append OnClickA's macros — [DOMAIN], [CAMPAIGN_ID], [WEB_PUSH_ID] and [CLICK_ID] — to your destination URL. The pixel captures them as the visit lands and stores a scored verdict per click, segmented by source domain, with nothing on the click path.

Can ValidVisit tell me which OnClickA domains to blacklist?+

Yes. Because [DOMAIN] is on every click, ValidVisit ranks your source domains by quality and by what's dragging their scores down, and you blacklist the offenders in your OnClickA campaign. ValidVisit reports the evidence; the block is applied in your account.

Will real but low-engagement pop visits score badly?+

No. The score is built from 100+ technical and behavioral data points about the network, the device and the visitor — not from time-on-page, which is naturally low for pop. A genuine person and an automated loader on a hosting connection produce very different combinations of those signals, so real humans pass even when they linger only briefly.
