Strict Ecosystem Protection: To protect advertiser ROI and maintain premium Google Ad Manager demand partnerships, PubVelo enforces zero tolerance against bot traffic, click fraud, and policy violations.
1. Prohibited Traffic Sources
Publishers must not drive impressions or clicks via non-human or deceptive methods, including:
- Automated Bot Traffic: Automated scripts, crawlers, headless browser instances, or traffic generators.
- Incentivized Clicks: Offering financial compensation, virtual coins, or unlocking app features in exchange for clicking ads ("click to download").
- Traffic Farms & VPN Clusters: Buying artificial traffic from click networks, PTC (Pay-To-Click) sites, or proxy clusters.
Immediate Account Termination
Detection of automated bots, headless browsers, or paid click farms results in immediate account banning and 100% forfeiture of unpaid revenues.
2. Prohibited Ad Placement Tactics
Ad implementations must strictly respect user experience and avoid accidental clicks:
- Hidden / Invisible Ads: Placing ad units inside 1x1 pixel webviews, behind background elements, or outside visible viewports.
- Overlapping Banners: Placing ads over interactive app buttons, game controls, or navigation elements.
- Auto-Click Scripts: Triggering ad clicks programmatically without explicit user intent.
- Excessive Refresh Rates: Auto-refreshing banner ads faster than 30-second intervals.
3. Prohibited Content Categories
PubVelo ad codes may not be placed on properties containing or promoting:
- Adult, explicit, or sexually suggestive content (NSFW/Pornography).
- Copyrighted movie streaming, APK cracking, keygens, or torrent download hubs.
- Hate speech, violence, illegal drugs, or deceptive financial scams.
- Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) — will be reported directly to law enforcement authorities.
4. App Package Verification & Clean APKs
Mobile app publishers must maintain active listings on Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Unregistered APKs, modified MOD-APKs, or blacklisted package IDs will be rejected during onboarding.
App Store Compliance
Publishers must ensure app bundle identifiers and app-ads.txt records match real store listings before ad inventory can be monetized.
5. Automated Fraud Detection & Immediate Action
PubVelo employs continuous real-time telemetry and upstream Google Ad Manager IVT filtering algorithms.
- Properties flagged with high IVT rates (>5%) will receive warning notices and may have ad serving throttled.
- Properties identified with intentional fraudulent click schemes are immediately disabled without notice.
