Does Search Submit Pro provide click protection?

Yes. We have always made click protection a high priority. Our click protection detection combines technology and human intervention to monitor clicks 24 hours per day. It is designed to filter out those that are questionable or clearly unqualified. To do this, we track search and click patterns across many data points, including IP address, user session and browser information, and pattern recognition, to help detect invalid clicks.

No system, no matter how advanced, can detect every invalid click, but we continue to invest substantial time and money to do the best job possible. To further our efforts, we also rely on, and encourage, customers to bring possible invalid clicks to our attention.

To help identify possible invalid clicks, we suggest you monitor the following using the Search Submit Pro reporting tools or your own reporting system:

  • Your web logs, for source of clicks
  • Your number of clicks and changes in trends over time
  • Your click-through rate

If you observe a dramatic change in one of these areas, and you suspect you received invalid clicks, contact your account representative.
