March 5th, 12:50pm - Track D: Optimizing Mobile, Tablet & Social Experiences
With 1.5 million apps and an estimated $8 billion in US ad spend, mobile growth continues to be explosive. However, with that growth there are some unintended consequences that impact user experience. Last year, the amount of fraudulent advertising on mobile devices was about 38% and for the first time exceeded the amount of fraud happening on the desktop. More importantly, this fraud is being perpetrated by both bots and humans. This creates a very complex problem; and while advertisers want to invest more with their RTB media buys, it becomes difficult to justify when thirty eight cents out of every dollar is wasted on fraud. In this session you will learn about the different types of fraud and how detect and prevent it.
