Inventory quality

Enjoy peace of mind that your campaigns are running in a brand suitable environment. Through our supply quality team and anti-fraud partnerships, we screen every app and site on the exchange to check that all inventory is brand safe, all traffic is human and valid, and every transaction meets our quality standards. We prohibit made-for-advertising (MFA) sites and are committed to proactively auditing our exchange and terminating MFA when we find it.

Security and fraud prevention

We bring accountability and transparency to the supply chain. Cryptographic authentication, in-house review, and anti-fraud partnerships help media owners protect the value of their inventory and marketers keep campaigns fraud-free. These standards ensure that you’re always in good company in our marketplace. Our efforts in pioneering initiatives such as the authorized sellers protocol and sellers.json give buyers confidence in who they’re buying from and where their ads are shown.
