New year, new piracy laundering take-down. This time it's a SimilarWeb top 100 site with >500 million visits in November. Their laundering fronts generated over a billion visits in the same period.

Despite identifying a single beneficial owner across all the laundering fronts & pirate content directories, the massive number of individual sellers & resellers makes it extremely hard to hold them accountable for the invalid inventory they’ve been peddling for years.
“There is a years-long history, documented by DeepSee, that certain sellers are in the business of monetizing copyright-infringing content. Any SSP that partners with these sellers is at best lacking proper governance and at worst willfully facilitating piracy.“

an exclusive from earlier this week: the adtech researchers Deepsee have launched a tool that's meant to measure, among other things, how many ads a publisher is cramming onto their site.

This demo walks through the Publisher Research Portal's "Advertising" tab to demonstrate how it reveals the perceived ad-density when visiting a site, and also allows our users to deep-dive into prebid wrappers, modules, and ad-units!

More demos! This one walks you through how our Network reports can be used to understand the communities sites are a part of, and how to identify & remove risky associations.

Our goal has always been simple: to provide programmatic advertising pros with scalable, ground-truth, publisher compliance & quality signals at a predictable price. We now have a product that can live up to that goal!

WOAH
I’ve read about 20% of this so far and but this is serious stuff.

“Imagine if a car dealership slapped a Lexus sticker on an economy Toyota and sold it to you as a Lexus.”
Subdomain-specific MFA sites are not new, but when Forbes misrepresented that inventory in auctions as premium, it crossed the line.

Despite media[.]net claiming the spoofing was the result of a technical error, the Forbes MFA subdomain is nowhere to be seen now. Not a terrible outcome!
Always a delight collaborating with @AdalyticsHQ to take down fraud and waste!
Turns out you can promote your porn and piracy on @Meta 's @facebook if you position it behind a *.vercel.app redirect.
*WARNING, NSFW IMAGES WITHIN* (just a little)

Some example pages with working redirects at time of writing:

Suffice it to say: not all "organic" social traffic is created equal. Hope this can be shut down fairly quickly @Meta

Everyone in the marketing industry needs a significant wake up call. Turning a blind eye to cheap reach is NOT the answer and frankly none of us are doing anything about it and that needs to change. adalytics.io/blog/ads-observ…
