Funding & Invoicing

Is there a penalty if I go over my plan's allowances?

We are familiar with website traffic and are aware that there may be certain months in which you will need more space than you have purchased. Absolutely not.

If this keeps happening, we may need to recommend that you switch to a more expensive plan. You may rest assured that you will never be upgraded without being informed.

What extra costs should I anticipate?

No 'premium upgrade' or any additional charges are present. Everything you need to start immediately blocking unwanted traffic is included in your monthly charge.

What are the procedures for making a payment?

We will collect your billing information when you join up for your free trial. If you don't cancel before the trial period finishes, you'll be upgraded to the paid tier. Then, going forward, your monthly payment will be deducted on the same day as your invoice until you tell us otherwise. Your credit card will be accepted.

Can I receive a refund if I decide that ClicksArmor is not for me?

You may try our software risk-free for a whole week. Whenever you'd like before the next paying date, you can cancel without penalty. We regret that we cannot offer prorated refunds for any unused portion of a month.

Is there a minimum time commitment?

You can stop your monthly subscription at any time. Simply inform us if you would like to terminate your membership prior to the next billing date.

The Basics of Click Fraud

When comparing ad fraud with click fraud, what distinguishes the two?

Any click on your paid advertisements that isn't a real and intentional action is known as click fraud. Intentional clicks from brand haters or competitors, as well as accidental clicks from badly positioned adverts, are all possible.

Ad fraud is a more systematic kind of click fraud in which a publisher intentionally generates a large number of clicks that are not legitimate. Typically, the goal of these ad fraud schemes is to steal millions of dollars.

Over $35 billion a year is lost worldwide in the advertising sector due to fake visitors.

Can't Google stop fraudulent clicks?

Google, of course, has safeguards set up to stop fake clicks and traffic. The vast majority of marketers, though, believe that they aren't doing enough, and they may not even be reporting the whole extent of click fraud.

To define and prohibit incorrect traffic, Google utilizes a distinct set of parameters. Clicks from a single IP address are tracked separately, and there is a reduced threshold for repeat clicks.

Agencies

If I manage an agency and have numerous clients, can I prevent IVT across all of their campaigns?

Yes. Inquire about our premium plan by contacting our staff. Your number of clients and active campaigns will determine your price.

Must each of my clients have a ClicksArmour subscription if I run a business?
