DON’T LET BAD ADS UNDERMINE

YOUR USER EXPERIENCE

Eliminate Unwanted Ads Before They Do Damage

Low quality ads can undermine even the best pages and brand reputations—creating an undesired user experience that leaves a bad impression on visitors to your site. Heavy ads can slow your site, impacting performance and increasing user complaints. Quality by Confiant helps you get rid of bad ads before they cause problems. And the best part? Your team can be as involved (or as hands off) as needed. Just set your controls and let us take care of the rest.

BAD ADS ARE BAD FOR BUSINESS

Disruptive ad behaviors lead to increased complaints, decreased engagement, and sky-high bounce rates. Those are all good reasons for visitors to stop coming back to your site—and for advertisers to stop buying your ad space. But we’re always ready to detect and block against the threat groups responsible for mass disruption.

YOU’VE GOT THE POWER TO CONTROL IT ALL

You don’t want ads from your arch nemesis (think Batman advertising for the Joker) served on your site. Similarly, you probably don't want other competitive brands advertising on your site. Maybe you need to protect innocent eyes and ears from certain content or filter out undesirable content. Whatever the reason, our ad quality controls give you the ability to detect and block ads associated with more than 225,000 brands and 100+ categories.

KEEP ADVERTISER BLOCKED ADS OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND

Advertiser blocked ads can be a pain for publishers—putting placeholder ads that don’t always monetize in valuable ad spots. Confiant is the only platform that allows you to detect, block, and replace those ads instead of simply disabling click throughs or preventing placeholder ads from taking up valuable ad inventory. And it all happens in real time, so site visitors never know the difference.

When he’s not keeping the Confiant team collaborating and caffeinated, you can usually count on LD to be planning his next offshore sailing adventure or working on his yoga headstands.
