2019 FRAUD STUDY SHOWS 88% LESS FRAUD IN TAG CERTIFIED DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS, NOTABLE IMPROVEMENT OVER PRIOR YEAR

Based on more than 200 billion ad impressions from six of the largest ad agency holding companies, the study found that invalid traffic (IVT) rates in TAG Certified channels fell to 1.41 percent from 1.68 percent in the same prior year period, a 16 percent improvement. The 2019 fraud rate in TAG Certified channels was 88 percent lower than a blended benchmark of IVT rates from MRC accredited anti-fraud vendors.

Thus far, 137 companies around the world have achieved the TAG Certified Against Fraud Seal to date, an increase of 26 percent over the 109 who had earned the seal a year ago.
