New partnership allows full-stack ad tech platform to better monitor for fake traffic, viewability, brand safety and domain masking
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. (April 3, 2017) – Smart AdServer, a Paris-based full-stack ad technology platform, has partnered with ad verification company Fraudlogix to fight fake traffic – including traffic generated from bots and hijacked devices – and monitor for view-ability, brand safety and domain (URL) masking in its Marketplace. The move is part of the company’s continued effort to fight ad fraud on behalf of its clients and will help to maintain and improve its inventory quality.
Smart AdServer serves the buy-side of the advertising ecosystem through its Smart RTB+ Ad Exchange and the sell-side by delivering ads to more than 30,000 websites worldwide through its global network of more than 800 publishers and ad networks.
The new partnership reflects Smart AdServer’s focus on maintaining high-quality, brand-safe and non-fraudulent inventory and will add another layer of protection for Smart AdServer’s clients. Fraudlogix’s solution enables the platform to monitor its billions of monthly impressions and identify non-human traffic generated by bots, malware, automated scripts and other fraudulent means as well as flag sites with brand safety issues.
“Quality has become a key topic in our ecosystem. And at Smart, we want to be at the forefront of this battle against fraud and non-qualitative content. We want to ensure we provide our advertisers with 100% non-fraudulent traffic and with the best inventory,” explains David Pironon, Chief Programmatic Officer at Smart AdServer. “That’s why we have created a complete team dedicated to quality within our Programmatic department. We choose Fraudlogix to ensure a strong level of quality on our Exchange and it’s a powerful complementary solution to our already strong internal tools and dedicated teams.“
“We’re excited to have Smart AdServer as a client – they realize how important having high-quality inventory is for their business and for the industry,” said Fraudlogix CEO, Hagai Shechter. “Fraudlogix is happy to help them fight fake traffic and maintain a brand-safe environment.”
