Why e-commerce is a fraud target
Competitor clicks
Click farms
Bot traffic
E-commerce brands run high-volume paid search and shopping campaigns that are prime targets for competitor click fraud, where rivals drain ad budgets on branded keywords without any purchase intent. Bot traffic inflates conversion funnel metrics, causing teams to over-invest in channels that appear to perform but deliver zero revenue.
Click farms systematically hit product listing ads and retargeting campaigns, distorting cost-per-acquisition figures and making profitable campaigns appear unprofitable. Without fraud monitoring, budgets shift toward fraudulent traffic sources and away from channels that actually drive sales.

“Tapper played a key role in improving the efficiency of Du's performance marketing activity by addressing traffic quality issues within campaigns. Following implementation, Du achieved a 13% reduction in CPA and an 8.6% increase in order rate, demonstrating a clear improvement in conversion quality and overall campaign effectiveness.”
Joseph Elbcherrawy
Client Leadership Director, Mindshare, a WPP Media Brand
“During our Tapper trial for INFINITI, we uncovered low-quality traffic that wasn't visible inside the platforms. Removing it delivered a 14% uplift in conversions and an 11.4% reduction in CPA - a meaningful efficiency gain for INFINITI's 2026 growth plans.”

“With Tapper's protection we were able to identify and block invalid clicks in real time. The impact was immediate as our cost per acquisition dropped by 30% and ROAS improved significantly. More importantly, Tapper gives us the confidence that our campaigns are reaching genuine customers, which makes it truly invaluable.”
Dimitris Bakas
Senior Performance Marketing, Public Group
“We started using Tapper to get better visibility on where our clicks were coming from, and ended up cutting wasted spend by over 12%. The performance uplift was clear, and for the first time, we could trust the numbers we were seeing. It's a total game-changer for campaign integrity.”
Stuart Parkin
Director of Operations, Regit
“Tapper's blocking technology purifies our paid media traffic which roughly equates to a 36x return against its subscription costs. It's certainly one of the easiest-to-implement tools in our entire marketing stack.”
Reno Mindemann
Head of Growth, Kama Capital
“We've been using Tapper for over a year now, and it has become a core part of how we run paid media. Invalid traffic was always something we knew existed but couldn't really act on. Tapper changed that. We're now saving up to $50K per year, and on PureSquare specifically, we saw around a 20% decrease in CPA. Based on these results, we decided to roll it out across other ventures under Disrupt as well.”
