I'm worried about 'pixel poisoning' where my ad algorithm optimizes for the wrong audience. What exactly is that and how do I fix it?

Direct Answer: Pixel poisoning happens when bots trigger your conversion pixels, tricking the AI into thinking those bots are your best customers. The algorithm then finds more 'users' like those bots, creating a death spiral of wasted spend and zero real sales. BotRefund fixes...

Direct Answer: When bots fire your conversion pixels, the ad network's algorithm thinks these bots are your ideal customers, which leads to more bot traffic and wasted spend. BotRefund prevents this through real-time pixel protection that blocks bots from firing Meta and Google conversion...

Direct Answer: No, a single browser tell is not enough to prove a visit is a bot. Privacy tools, corporate networks, and unusual devices can cause unexpected behavior in genuine people. BotRefund keeps each signal as evidence and cross-checks it against independent browser, network,...

Direct Answer: A single anomaly such as a straight line mouse path is not treated as a bot verdict by BotRefund. Privacy tools corporate networks and accessibility devices can cause unusual movements for real visitors. The platform keeps each signal as evidence and cross-checks...
