Principles to Ensure Click Quality
- Advertisers should never pay for double clicks or repeat clicks from the same session.
- Advertisers should never pay for traffic from bots.
- Advertisers should have control over where, when and to whom ads are distributed.
- Domain and IP exclusion lists from search providers should be easy to use and maintain.
- Search providers should provide advertisers detailed referrer information on all traffic that is billed.
- Advertisers should never pay for traffic originating outside the specified geo-targeted settings.
- Search engines should adopt third-party validation for click quality as other media companies have done for their audience validation.
- Search providers should provide an easy mechanism to reconcile paid clicks on a monthly basis.
