We
distribute our results to thousands of search enabled sites across the Internet,
generating hundreds of millions of searches per month and are constantly expanding
our distribution network. If you advertise on any major PPC search engine, we
most probably distribute your results.
Our main concern is the prevention of Click Frauds. This section of our site
was created to help you, the advertiser, understand our efforts to prevent and
eradicate all possible forms of Click Fraud across our network better.
Click Fraud occurs when an advertiser receives invalid clicks on paid listings
by a competitor or a private individual who has no intention of using the advertiser's
services. Click Fraud may occur from competing advertisers or simply individuals
who want to profit from the click's revenue share at your ad budget's expense.
Such action on the user's part triggers our system to render the click invalid.
When a user visits any of our partner sites, the user cannot simply click repeatedly
on the same keyword and accumulate chargeable clicks. Our system reviews all user
activity and utilizes elaborate proprietary filters to monitor and determine the
validity of each user click.
Take the keyword "casino", for instance. If one was to visit any
of our partner sites and click on any of the links to the sites that bid for their
position, one will cause that particular keyword advertiser to pay for that click.
On the other hand, if the user backs out and clicks again on the same link, then
the second click will not accrue charges to the client's account.
SE-Cash Network monitors closely all clicks across our distribution network
to ensure that there is no misuse or abuse of the program. Our Protection System
utilizes sophisticated software to analyze all clicks that pass through our system
and determine whether they fit a pattern of fraudulent activity intended to artificially
drive up the costs of an advertiser. Our proprietary Protection System automatically
distinguishes between clicks generated by normal human usage and clicks generated
by click spammers and automated robots. As a result, we are able to filter out
clicks that are detrimental to advertisers and the advertisers are not charged
for the fraudulent clicks. Our Protection System uses search and click data to
make based inferences and pattern recognition rules that help us determine the
validity of each click. While we never disclose the details of our Protection
System due to the nature of our business, the core mechanics involve over 30 algorithms.
If our algorithms indicate that a particular click is invalid, our system sends
the user directly to the advertiser's site, bypassing the PPC search engine and
the advertiser is not charged for that click. However, we are unable to remove
the click from the advertiser's web logs.
In some cases you, the advertiser, might see suspicious clicks in your web
logs. Chances are you were never charged for those clicks since our system automatically
detected them and rendered them "invalid." Before contacting your PPC
search engine, we encourage you to compare your statistics to their report. In
most cases you might notice that the number of clicks in your web logs is greater
than that of the PPC search engine report. This discrepancy occurs due to the
fact that we have automatically eliminated fraudulent clicks that were directed
to your site. Despite our efforts to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, sometimes
fraud does occur. If you believe that you have received fraudulent clicks from
a SE-Cash Network distribution partner, please immediately send us a detailed
e-mail to fraud@se-cash.net. Here at SE-Cash Network fraud is treated as a very
serious issue and we are committed to combating it in every way possible.
