Why education is a fraud target
Bot traffic
Click farms
Fake installs
Education advertisers, including universities, bootcamps, and edtech platforms, pay significant CPCs for enrollment-intent keywords during tight enrollment cycles. Bot traffic and click farms inflate inquiry and application form submissions, making it impossible to accurately measure which campaigns are driving genuine student interest.
Mobile app fraud is a growing problem for edtech companies that rely on app installs to build their learner base, with fake installs consuming acquisition budgets without producing active users. Fraudulent enrollment inquiries that enter CRM systems waste admissions team resources and distort yield rates.

“When we take low-quality traffic out of the funnel before it reaches the algorithm, the campaign optimises against cleaner signals and the efficiency comes through quickly. For AMA Nissan, that was a 40% lift in conversion rate and a lower CPA on Google, with nothing else in the setup changing. That is the kind of result we want to offer clients as a matter of course.”

“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.”
