What is the difference between rule-based detection and AI-based detection for bots?

What is the difference between rule-based detection and AI-based detection for bots?

Direct Answer: Rule-based detection trusts a raw signal by itself, while AI-based detection weighs the complete pattern. BotRefund sends all 106 signals into a prediction AI that evaluates browser, network, device, and behavior evidence together. This approach is what supports the 99 percent accuracy...

What is the fastest way to audit Meta lead ads for fraud without changing my campaign?

Direct Answer: The page recommends preserving attribution first, then comparing Meta reporting with web analytics, server logs, call records, email verification, and CRM stages before you touch targeting or budgets. Keep campaign, ad set, creative, placement, click identifier, landing-page URL, and timestamp with each...

What is the free Starter plan limit?

Direct Answer: The free Starter tier allows up to three hundred bot detections per month. It includes the full verification dashboard and self‑service refund report generation. If you exceed the limit, you can upgrade to a paid plan for unlimited coverage.

What is the free Starter plan limit?

What is the Headless UA Evader check and why does it matter for my ad campaigns?

Direct Answer: The Headless UA Evader check looks for mismatches that a real browsing session does not normally create, such as tool-specific shortcuts or automation remnants. BotRefund uses this as one of 106 independent checks to build a reliable picture of whether a visit...

What is the Keyboard Layout Leak check and why does it matter?

Direct Answer: The Keyboard Layout Leak check looks for a mismatch that a real browsing session does not normally create. Virtual machines and spoofed profiles can claim one device while their graphics, fonts, audio, or processor behavior tells another story. This signal adds objective...

What is the role of corroboration in bot detection accuracy?

Direct Answer: Corroboration means several independent signals point to the same conclusion instead of one tell being enough. BotRefund uses 106 independent checks and evaluates them with an AI model. The model weighs the complete pattern across browser, network, device, and behavior data. That...

What is the role of independent evidence in bot detection accuracy?

Direct Answer: Independent evidence adds objective facts about a visit. BotRefund collects 106 such facts, including the Error Stack Proxy check. Each fact is cross-checked against others. This corroboration is what allows the tool to reach 99% accuracy instead of relying on a single...

What is the role of independent evidence in bot detection accuracy?

What is the ‘Visited History’ check and why is it important?

Direct Answer: The ‘Visited History’ check compares the browser’s reported history state with what a real user would have after navigating the web. Automated browsers often expose missing or placeholder history entries. BotRefund flags these inconsistencies as part of its evidence. It’s a strong...

What kind of browser details do bot detectors compare to spot automated traffic?

Direct Answer: Bot detectors look at hardware, graphics, fonts, audio, and operating-system details to see if they naturally fit together. A real browser usually reports details that match the device, while an automated browser may claim one device but reveal another through its processor...

What kind of evidence do I need to submit to Google or Meta for a refund?

Direct Answer: You need detailed forensic evidence that proves the clicks were automated. BotRefund provides verified GCLID/FBCLID click IDs, millisecond timestamps, campaign names, session replays, and explanations of why the session was automated. This is the exact format that Google and Meta's review teams...

What kind of evidence do I need to submit to Google or Meta for a refund?

What kind of evidence does a bot detection tool collect for a visit?

Direct Answer: It collects objective facts from browser, network, device, and behavior checks. For example, the Fast Reading Scraper check looks at whether clicks and scrolls match human reading behavior. BotRefund labels this as independent evidence. It then uses cross-checked context and AI prediction...

What kind of signals do advanced bot detection tools use beyond basic IP blocking?

Direct Answer: Advanced tools use a wide range of signals beyond IP addresses, including browser API consistency, device hardware details, network telemetry, and behavioral patterns like scroll timing and mouse movement. BotRefund uses 106 independent checks across all these categories, cross-referencing them to avoid...

What kind of signals does the tool use to spot bot clicks?

Direct Answer: BotRefund analyzes more than 110 behavioral and technical signals. It looks at mouse movement patterns, sub‑millisecond click timing, lack of tremor, grid‑aligned paths, and session duration anomalies. It also checks browser integrity, hardware fingerprints and network attributes to build a forensic case.

What should a bot detection tool do when it sees an anomaly like History Evasion?

Direct Answer: It should keep the anomaly as evidence and investigate the rest of the visit before deciding. Privacy tools, travel, corporate networks, and unusual devices can produce false alarms. BotRefund cross-checks the anomaly with independent data and only calls it a bot when...

What should a bot detection tool do when it sees an anomaly like History Evasion?

What should I do if my bot detection tool flags a visitor with an unusual browser setup?

Direct Answer: You should look at the complete evidence pattern rather than the one anomaly. A real visitor can appear unusual because of privacy tools, travel, corporate networks, or accessibility devices. BotRefund avoids making a verdict from a single signal and only flags a...

What should I do if my conversion timestamps show clusters of sub-second form completions?

Direct Answer: Sub-second form completions are a red flag for automated bot behavior. The page recommends verifying conversion timestamps and comparing platform conversions against actual orders. BotRefund can help document these anomalies and suppress pixels on suspicious sessions.

What should I do if my duplicated campaign fails immediately while the original performed well

Direct Answer: Duplicated campaigns often fail because the original happened to acquire human conversions early while the duplicate was contaminated by bots in its opening hours on Search Partners or Audience Network. BotRefund prevents this inconsistency by suppressing pixels on bot sessions from installation...

What signals does a bot detection tool use to detect a spoofed browser?

Direct Answer: It looks at browser capabilities and whether they are complete and internally consistent. For example, History Evasion checks for missing, simplified, or inconsistent details that a real browsing session would not normally show. BotRefund uses this as one of 106 independent checks,...

Why did duplicating a winning campaign sometimes fail immediately?

Direct Answer: A duplicate campaign can fail immediately if bots contaminate it during the first 48 to 72 hours, while the original happened to collect human conversions early. The ad algorithm assigns heavy weight to those first recorded interactions, so a bot-heavy start can...

Why do automated browsers fail to look like real users even when they patch browser APIs?

Direct Answer: They often build partial or placeholder implementations that do not hold up when checked from multiple angles. BotRefund's Background Navigation check looks for these internal inconsistencies. Then it cross-checks the anomaly with independent browser, network, device, and behavior data. That is why...
