Hey guys, I have noticed a huge difference between reports on Decisive internal reporting about GEOs and My tracker data ( Tested with 2 trackers ) I am targeting UAE however clicks are from Germany and USA and also Huge number of clicks from same Ip for example this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/bKCnq6PFb1tm can anyone explain whats going on ? Is it normal with Decisive ?
Total clicks from target geo = 273
Total clicks from 2 IPs = 254
Total clicks from unique IPs =19
Meanwhile Decisive stats report http://screencast.com/t/NpinOnPHp
This just doesn't make any sense
Thanks
Hi kjrocker,
You have encountered our approvals bots. We send traffic to test your landing pages from multiple geos. You don't see it in the Decisive interface because we don't charge for this traffic (as it is for internal quality control).
@Andrea Is there any way to filter bots from Decisive stats at least ? I can see from your own platform's stats that there were 300 + Clicks just wondering where those all clicks go lol as all i see is just 2 IPs while frequency capping is still in place ( 1 view per 24 hours ) ...
Hi Kjroker!
No, it would circumvent the effectiveness of the approval bots if your tracker could filter them and geo redirect.
In terms of the IPs, I'm not sure what you mean?
