How One Retailer Cut General Invalid Traffic to Almost Zero

Hyper Quality ControlAccording to an IAB and Ernst & Young report, General Invalid Traffic (GIVT) costs the US digital marketing, advertising and media industry around $4.6 billion every year. But that’s no longer an issue for one of ER’s large retail clients. In August 2018, our Digital Media Relations team uncovered a large number of impressions being filtered out due to high frequency GIVT, nearly 16% in fact. After doing a deep dive into the data, the team was able to locate two domains that were generating the majority of the GIVT, and immediately alerted both the client and publisher. Even though the publisher’s analytics vendor did not show the same level of suspicious traffic, they removed the offending domains from the white list as a precaution. The result? GIVT for the campaign dropped to below 1% within weeks!
