Q: What is the difference between "IP Exclusion" and "Audience Exclusion" in Spider AF?

A: The difference between "IP Exclusion" and "Audience Exclusion" lies in the criteria. Spider AF uses to exclude targets from ad delivery.

First, here are the definitions of each term:

  • IP: Refers to the IP address.

  • Audience: In Spider AF, we assign a unique ID to each user who generates a click. This user-level unit is referred to as an "Audience" (equivalent to a Cookie).

The details of each exclusion method are as follows:

  • IP Exclusion: This method excludes specific IP addresses that are generating fraudulent clicks from your ad delivery.

  • Audience Exclusion: This method excludes specific audiences (Cookies) that are generating fraudulent clicks from your ad delivery.
