Is PlugRush traffic real?
How to check PlugRush traffic quality: every visit scored 0–100 and pinned to the pop / pop-under sub-source that sent it — worst first, with the evidence to act on.
website in PlugRushThe buyer creates a named Blacklist in the Filter Traffic tab, pastes the bad website domains (or excludes sources/sub-sources from the campaign stats breakdown), then links the list to one or more campaigns — optionally as the default list auto-applied to all new campaigns; automated rules can also auto-exclude source
ValidVisit reports the device, OS, browser — down to the version — plus the language and ISP behind every flagged visit, and PlugRush supports OS, browser, language, device type and connection type targeting. The segments we flag are segments you can exclude.
How invalid traffic shows up on PlugRush.
PlugRush is a pop / pop-under channel — exactly where invalid traffic concentrates. See which PlugRush publishers, placements and sub-sources send real clicks versus bots, attributed via PlugRush’s own tracking tokens and scored 0–100 per source.
Pinpoint the bot publishers & placements in PlugRush.
PlugRush 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 PlugRush tokens, not by creative (which says nothing about whether a click was human).
PlugRush traffic scored 0–100 per sub-source, worst first — down to the placement you buy.

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