Bots & automation
Headless browsers, scripted clickers and crawlers that ignore robots rules — identified by browser integrity, timing and interaction signals.
Traffic monitoring · Click-fraud protection
Every paid click, accounted for.
Traffic Boosters checks every click on your ads, flags bots and invalid traffic, and helps you exclude them. The click tracker records each click and sends the visitor straight to your final URL. It never changes where the click goes.
- Transparent pass-through redirect
- Parallel-tracking compatible

What we detect
Invalid traffic takes many forms. We look for all of them.
Data-center & proxy traffic
Clicks routed through hosting providers, anonymising proxies and commercial VPNs that no real customer journey needs.
Repeat & competitor clicking
The same device or network hitting your ads again and again, often at the top of the auction and at the start of the day.
Click farms & incentivised traffic
Human clicks with no intent: clustered devices, identical paths, and conversion rates that never move.
Geo & placement mismatch
Clicks from outside your targeted regions or from placements with abnormal click-through patterns.
Accidental & duplicate clicks
Double taps and instant bounces that inflate cost without ever giving a visitor a chance to see your page.
How it works
Measure, score, act, prove.
- 01
Measure
Add one tracking template at account, campaign or ad-group level. Each paid click passes through our endpoint and is redirected straight to your final URL.
- 02
Score
Every click is evaluated against network, device, behaviour and frequency signals, and labelled valid, suspicious or invalid.
- 03
Act
Invalid sources are pushed to your ad account as exclusions, with thresholds and allow-lists you control. Nothing is blocked automatically unless you switch it on.
- 04
Prove
Click-level evidence and exports you can use in invalid-activity requests with the ad network, and clean data for bidding and reporting.
Why we run a click tracker
We can only detect fraud on clicks we can see.
Ad networks don’t report IP addresses, user agents or timing for each click, and those are the signals that separate a customer from a bot. A click tracker gives us that data the moment the click happens. It records the click and sends the visitor on to your final URL. It never decides where the click goes.
Server-side measurement also catches traffic that never runs JavaScript. Headless bots and instant bounces are the traffic a page tag misses.

&url={lpurl}- Every click is redirected to the URL in the visible url= parameter — nothing else.
- No parameters are added to, or removed from, your final URL.
- The same response for every visitor. Fraud scores never change where a click goes.
- Works with Google Ads parallel tracking and auto-tagging.
- We never modify, proxy, cache or inject scripts into your landing pages.
- Destinations are restricted to domains you have verified, so the tracker cannot be used as an open redirect.

FAQ
Common questions
Will Traffic Boosters slow down my ads?
No. With Google Ads parallel tracking the visitor goes straight to your landing page while the tracking request happens in the background. Where a sequential redirect is used, our endpoint answers from Cloudflare’s edge network and only issues a single redirect.
Do you block clicks in real time?
We cannot stop a click that has already happened — no one can. What we do is identify the source and exclude it in your ad account so it cannot keep clicking, and give you evidence for credit requests.
Could a real customer be excluded by mistake?
Decisions use many signals, never a single IP on its own. Shared networks such as offices, universities and mobile carriers are treated conservatively, and you can review, allow-list or undo any exclusion.
Does the tracker change my landing page or URL?
Never. The tracker is a pass-through: it records the click and redirects to exactly the final URL Google provides. See the click tracker specification for the technical details.
Which ad platforms are supported?
Google Ads (Search, Shopping, Display, YouTube and Performance Max) today, plus any platform that supports a tracking template or click URL with a destination parameter.
What data do you store?
Click metadata only — time, IP address, user agent, referrer and ad parameters such as campaign and keyword. No names, emails or payment data. See our privacy policy for retention periods.
