Traffic Quality Benefits Drop Directly to the Bottom Line

AUSTIN, Texas – Click Forensics, Inc., the industry leader in audience verification and traffic quality improvement for the online advertising community, announced that local search giant GenieKnowsMedia.com as well as several other ad networks and publishers have selected the Click Forensics platform to improve the performance of campaigns for advertiser clients. In addition to GenieKnowsMedia.com, Adfirmative, Avalanche Search Media, Juggle, Moxy Media, Traffic Engine, and TruSearch are the latest companies to standardize on the Click Forensics platform for online traffic quality improvement and audience verification.

“After carefully evaluating the available solutions in the market, we found the Click Forensics platform to be the most effective, scalable and accurate for verifying and ensuring the quality of traffic we deliver to online advertisers,” said John Manning, senior vice president of GenieKnowsMedia.com. “We look forward to working closely with Click Forensics to improve the performance and bottom line results of our advertisers’ campaigns.”

The Click Forensics online audience verification and traffic quality management platform allows ad networks, advertisers, agencies and publishers to protect themselves against bad online traffic sources, while targeting and delivering traffic sources that are more likely to convert into sales. The Click Forensics platform measures and analyzes each individual ad visitor to determine its value and likely conversion rate. The platform can also be tuned to block certain types of online traffic that deliver poor ROI.
