A study by MEC Labs/Marketing Experiments found that the instance of click fraud in pay-per-click search engines across the net might be as high as 29.5%. Fraudulent traffic has no place with ABCSearch, if our traffic doesn't convert for our advertisers, everybody loses.

Fueled by statistics like the one above and after years of R&D, ABCSearch has released ClickShield (TM), a proprietary system that identifies and blocks fraudulent traffic from our network.

Because nobody knows our system better than we do, it is very important to us that our Fraud monitoring software be customized specifically for our network. Other networks may use 3rd party software, but such technologies only begin to scratch the surface of their traffic quality. ClickShield optimizes all of ABC's traffic, ensuring all clicks are free of fraudulent symptoms. Each click gets scrubbed against natural user behavior patterns among other proprietary statistical methods. If traffic exists that ClickShield deems to be indicative of Fraud, the clicks are not charged to the advertiser and the traffic source is flagged for administrative review.

It is important to us that your advertising dollars go towards converting traffic, instead of being wasted on fruitless clicks. By monitoring network traffic patterns, we block the traffic that we know you should not be paying for Period.

In addition to our stringent measures for fraud prevention, we encourage all advertisers and partners to maintain open communication with our excellent support staff to ensure our traffic is of the highest quality and standard.
