This week, the IAB announced that the IAB Traffic of Good Intent Task Force has become the Anti-Fraud Working Group and will focus on eliminating fraud across the advertising industry.<\/p>\n<p>As it&#8217;s first step, the Anti-Fraud Working Group released three principles that should be used to identify and eliminate fraudulent traffic (and the inventory it creates). In a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iab.net\/about_the_iab\/recent_press_releases\/press_release_archive\/press_release\/pr-091614\">press release<\/a>, the IAB described these Anti-Fraud Principles as, &#8220;a series of three tenets meant to root poor-quality ad traffic out of the system once and for all.&#8221; The IAB explains that the Anti-Fraud Principles are just one step in the IAB Trustworthy Supply Chain Initiatives that will address challenges facing digital marketing today.<\/p>\n<p>The three Anti-Fraud Principles focus on detection, identification, and transparency:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Principle 1: Fraud Detection<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The IAB states that suppliers should be required to implement technological and business practices that identify ad bots and illegitimate human activity. Furthermore, suppliers must prevent that traffic from being sold to advertisers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Principle 2: Source Identification<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The IAB states that suppliers should provide assurances to buyers that the inventory they pay for is from legitimate sources. To do this, the IAB recommends providing the specific URL of each ad placement to the advertiser.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Principle 3: Process Transparency<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The IAB states that suppliers should provide details of the business and technical processes they use to adhere to the first two principles.<\/p>\n<p>The IAB has also created a taxonomy that provides definitions of key terms used in online advertising transactions, so advertisers and suppliers are using the same terms and understand the same things about anti-fraud. The IAB believes that by working together, advertisers and suppliers can eliminate online ad fraud throughout the digital supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s face it, marketers need online ad fraud to go away or they&#8217;re wasting valuable budget dollars. The Anti-Fraud Principles are a step in the right direction, but as the Anti-Fraud Working Group knows, there is more work to be done. Let&#8217;s keep the conversation going so eliminating ad fraud remains a top priority.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freeimages.com\/photo\/456469\">Karen Andrews<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Online ad fraud has been a big problem for brand advertisers for years, and now, the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) has taken new steps to curb it.
