YouAppi’s Commitment to Quality and Fraud Prevention Ensures Marketers Only Pay for High-Quality, Human Engagement

YouAppi, a leading growth marketing platform for premium mobile brands, announced a partnership with zvelo to drive maximum ROI for marketers while ensuring they only pay for high-quality, real users. zvelo provides a suite of ad fraud offerings that allows advertisers, publishers and platforms to reduce fraudulent spending on bot traffic and prevent ad fraud. YouAppi will leverage zvelo’s solution to ensure every impression, click and install delivered to its end customers is free from any blacklisted IP addresses identified from various sources, including web crawlers, known data centers, malicious bots, etc.

Ad fraud is on the rise and expected to cost in excess of $50 billion by 2025 as it plagues marketing and advertising budgets. Fraudsters continue to grow in sophistication and work tirelessly to come up with new tactics, and brands feel the pinch of fraudulent activity to their bottom lines. Mobile ad fraud is among the hardest hit, doubling year-over-year during the first quarter of 2018, while almost one-quarter of video ad impressions were a result of bot fraud.

“Ad fraud continues to grow, damaging mobile and video campaigns while stealing billions of dollars from advertisers every year. The best way to protect ad budgets and maximize ROI is to identify and prevent fraudulent traffic at the source,” said Jeff Finn, CEO of zvelo. “A key component of our Ad Fraud Prevention solution is the Invalid Traffic (IVT) dataset, which provides a comprehensive feed of IPs that have been verified as generating fraudulent bot traffic from web crawlers, known data center traffic, and fake or malicious bots. YouAppi’s integration of the IVT feed illustrates their commitment to preventing fraud and protecting every cent their customers spend on user acquisition, re-engagement, monetization, and other efforts.”
