TrafficGuard

Pros: Very easy and straightforward setup. Immediate integration into all google ads campaigns and very good and transparent click statistics.

Cons: There is really nothing to complain about. All good.

Overall: Very satisfied with the product, service and very easy integration. Overall it is a very good and handy solution.

Pros: Good dashboard though I'm a new user only and have not explored much of the features of it but I have opted it for protection from fake clicks and it works and protects your campaign from fake traffic.

Cons: I'm a new user and have not explored much for now so there are not any cons that I can say about the dashboard is simple and easy to use.

Overall: The overall experience of the product is good till now I am using it for protection from fake traffic on my google ads account and I have hope it will help me in improving my campaign performance.

Pros: Flexible pricing, and their support team responds quickly. I like the fact that they charge a percentage of ad spend, rather than a fixed fee. This helps for people who are starting out with a service like this.

Cons: None so far. Their support seems to have improved significantly.

Overall: The whole idea of fraudulent click prevention is great. A number of service providers offer it currently. What I Love about TrafficfGuard is that they are willing to grow with you, through their flexible pricing model. Their support team also responds quickly. Thumbs up!

Pros: Very good app, it has all the features you need. I used other click fraud apps and I think this is the best.

Cons: Not so easy to setup. Other competitors use automatic setup. But support was great.

Overall: Worth the price. They charge 2% from Google Ads budget which I think is a fair price. You cane save up to 10% from fraud clicks.

Pros: They just do their job and save my money from scammers. We had a lot of new user sessions in less than 1 second, although we have a great fast site, quality services and a great design. We did not understand what these sessions were for less than 1 second, but with the help of this service we figured out and solved this problem.

Cons: It has not yet been discovered, and this is probably due to the fact that they simply do not exist. This is the kind of service that either just does its job or it doesn't.

Overall: Fast registration. ROI on subscription. This service is now in our constant arsenal for optimization of advertising and budget for attracting clients.

Pros: TrafficGuard is extremely easy to set up, perfect for a SMB too, and free category is huge bonus. Intuitive.

Cons: Nothing as of yet, need to evaluate further with usage.

Overall: The software is as easy to run as it looks. If you're an SMB who is looking at a click fraud prevention too, then IMO TrafficGuard is the one, the reason being that up to 2,500/month (£1,800) in ad spend entitles you to a FREE version of membership, with some limitations of course.

It's a lightweight client and no slow down with accurate reporting. IMO if you're an SMB, this click fraud prevention tool is perfect. Disclaimer: I am a beginner to click fraud prevention, but so far, extremely positive usage.

Pros: Prevents click fraud.
Google Ads do not provide IPs. TrafficGuard provides that. So, you can easily eliminate the fake clicks.
I think no other tool offers a free plan.

Cons: The free plan doesn't allow prevention mode. However, detection mode is enough to identify the fake users' IPs.

Overall: In the free plan, you can activate a detection mode, You can easily identify the IP of users who clicked on your website. So you can easily eliminate the users who do click fraud.

Pros: I have tried to combat low-quality clicks with many tactics including painstaking manual exclusions, large exclusion lists, and other ways. Always felt like a frustrating game of "whack-a-mole". But no longer! TrafficGuard catches the bad traffic in the act and puts an end to it.

Cons: Nothing so far. I was initially worried about the installation but I was done in about 5 minutes.

Overall: Easy, smooth and effective. Love the dashboard and the peace of mind knowing I have an army of technology helping protect my campaigns.

Pros: - Easy setup
- Clear reporting
- Immediate results
- I was able to set up 3rd party access for my suppliers/team

Cons: The benefits of the free plan are limited to monitoring your invalid clicks, but this is fair enough.

Overall: I'm going to continue to use it, and will report back once I have long term results. Currently I am using the 'free' version which is allowing me to monitor my invalid clicks, and once I've run it for a month I'll be able to calculate if it's worth moving to the paid version.

Pros: Instead of charging fixed amount/month, they charge 2% of your ad spend/month, which makes much more sense for smaller ad accounts.

Smart Dashboard

Cons: Difficult to log in. Couldn't find out how to log in via website, so have to search in google - traffic guard log in.

Overall: Smart, Logical and affordable click protection plan. Providing lots of clear analysed data in the dashboard.

Pros: It definitely works and will save you 20-30% of your ad spend. We have tested it for few months. Will recommend for your ppc campaigns. If you are in competitive industry there are chances that your competitors are killing your budget.

Cons: Not sure if it block real traffic too but will figure that out in next few months.
Does not work on previous date.

Overall: Very simple to use just few clicks for set up and you are good top go. If you are worried about click mines should give this a go.

Pros: Easy to understand and simple to navigate. The interface allows simple usage by any operator and are good enough for administrator to administer.

Cons: There isn't any con on the software as it is delivering what i am expecting.

Overall: Very good and will recommend to my friends and other people having the issue of fraud clicks while on Google Ads.

Pros: I love the invalid clicks reports, they're detailed and don't seem to be exaggerated like other click fraud software.
The pricing model of paying based on your ad spent is very reasonable as it doesn't put any strain on your operations costs.
No downtime or sluggish loading of the software.
The dashboard is simple and easy to navigate.
It's easy to set up.

Cons: Requires additional types of validation rules such as an aggressive blocking mode and instead of leaning more on click-frequency.
There's no option for users to file refund claims from google.
No mobile or desktop application.
No real-time reporting. The reporting is delayed by some minutes.
Inability to integrate more than one Google Ads account under one TrafficGuard account.

Few billing/payment options.

Overall: I think it's one of the best Google Ads click-fraud software around.

Pros: Lot of statistics.
Friendly interface.
Easy to use.
Plenty of data.
Good support.
Lots of options.
Real-time blocking.

Cons: Expensive.
Not good for mobile use.
Real good features only paying.

Overall: Good platform, easy to use, with lots of data and real time blocking. Real good features only paying.

Pros: I love the simplicity around the setup. It's great to know that you've got the reassurance that your link is not being clicked on by your competitors time and time again.

Cons: Other than learning from what I could do better, maybe a review call with someone who can help make some suggestions with the data gathered.

Overall: A very positive experience overall. I found the setup process simple and I am loving the data the platform provides me with.

Pros: After trialling a few other services providers in click protection, Traffic Guard was the one that stood out. I was initially impressed with the clean and professional layout of the platform that is fully integrated with your Google Ads and analytics.

The navigation bar is cleanly laid out so you can capture any reporting you require at a glance. I particularly liked you have the option to add the integration code to your Google Tag Manager without placing it directly onto your website.

Another great aspect is the validation rules that enable you to set how many clicks are acceptable before being blocked. This is especially important for certain industries where invalid clicks are prevalent.

Cons: If there is only one small thing to pick, that would be for the Reports and Traffic Control sections to be above the Google Ads and Analytics section; it is nothing major once you familiarise yourself with the layout.

Overall: I am very impressed after comparing Traffic Guard with the other alternatives, which did not offer me exactly the required functions and layout.

It's in my nature to test all options available for the benefit of the doubt.

Pros: Everything.
Easy to use and does all the organizing for you.

Cons: I didn't find it sooner!

Overall: Recommended 100 times.
