“I am honored to lead the growth of Pixalate’s APAC team and partnerships at a crucial inflection point for the region,” said Ling. “Our unparalleled technology tools and exceptional team are uniquely positioned to serve the market’s needs at a time when the industry’s heightened emphasis on a more white-boxed global fraud protection solution and supply path object verification has spurred strong demand for greater transparency and improved traffic quality.”

Per the MRC, “’Fraud’ is not intended to represent fraud as defined in various laws, statutes and ordinances or as conventionally used in U.S. Court or other legal proceedings, but rather a custom definition strictly for advertising measurement purposes. Also, per the MRC, “‘Invalid Traffic’ is defined generally as traffic that does not meet certain ad serving quality or completeness criteria, or otherwise does not represent legitimate ad traffic that should be included in measurement counts. Among the reasons why ad traffic may be deemed invalid is it is a result of non-human traffic (spiders, bots, etc.), or activity designed to produce fraudulent traffic.”
