Our plan is to use that money to improve our product and expand our feature set. At Pixalate, we’re obsessed with data and using that data to provide the most transparency into ad campaigns. This includes stats on viewability, attribution and fraud. In the coming months, you should expect to see new tools that make the RTB media buying experience more efficient and more economical.   We also announced that we’ll be making our basic viewability and fraud detection services free of charge to brands and agencies. We’re doing this because we believe that advertisers should not have to pay for these basic, yet important services. Yes, we’re still charging for advanced analytics and attribution; and yes, those services are worth every penny. We also think that these services will fast become commoditized. Companies that have point solutions and charge outrageous prices are on a race to the bottom.   If you’d like to learn more about our free basic service, click [here](https://www.pixalate.com/) and we’ll give you a demo.   [Follow @pixalateinc on Twitter](http://www.twitter.com/pixalateinc). [Like Pixalate on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/pixalate). [+1 Pixalate Google Plus

Also per the MRC, “‘Invalid Traffic’ is defined generally as traffic that does not meet certain ad serving quality or completeness criteria, or otherwise does not represent legitimate ad traffic that should be included in measurement counts. Among the reasons why ad traffic may be deemed invalid is it is a result of non-human traffic (spiders, bots, etc.), or activity designed to produce fraudulent traffic.” ** ** *By clicking Download and entering your email address, you are agreeing to our [Terms of Use](https://www.pixalate.com/terms) and have read and acknowledge our [Privacy Policy](https://www.pixalate.com/hubfs/2024-08-20_Pixalate_Privacy_Policy.pdf). *Copyright © 2025 Pixalate** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * × ## Subscribe to the Pixalate Blog The first step in ad fraud prevention.
