Media Rating Council (MRC)“‘Invalid traffic’ is broadly defined as traffic that does not meet certain criteria for ad delivery quality or completeness, or that does not represent legitimate ad traffic that should be included in counts Reasons why ad traffic may be considered invalid include it being the result of non-human traffic (spiders, bots, etc.) or activity designed to produce fraudulent traffic. IVT is also sometimes called “ad fraud.” According to the MRC“‘Fraud’ is not intended to represent fraud as defined in various laws, statutes and ordinances or as conventionally used in the United States courts or in other legal proceedings, but rather a definition tailored strictly to for advertising measurement purposes.”
