Q: Can you explain the difference between "IP exclusion" and "Audience exclusion" in Spider AF?

A: The difference between "IP exclusion" and "Audience exclusion" lies in the basis for excluding targets from ad distribution in Spider AF.

First, here are the definitions of the terms:

  • IP: Refers to an IP address.

  • Audience: In Spider AF, each unique user who triggers a click is assigned an ID, and these individual users are referred to as the "audience" (≒ Cookie).

Details of the exclusions are as follows:

  • IP exclusion: Excludes "IPs" that are generating fraudulent clicks from ad distribution.

  • Audience exclusion: Excludes "audiences" (≒ Cookies) that are generating fraudulent clicks from ad distribution.
