Stop payingfor fraudulenttraffic.
Follow any suspicious click back to the company behind it. PaidClick.ai investigates brand bidding, ad hijacking and affiliate routing from the outside, with no SDK and no site integration.
A customer searches for your brand.
An ad appears above your own result. The customer clicks, buys, and someone else gets the credit. But who created that demand?
Then the click goes underground.
We reproduce the journey like a real customer in a real location, and follow every hop until the final page.

Questions, answered.
Do I need an SDK or site integration?
No. PaidClick.ai investigates advertising and user journeys from the outside, so there is nothing to install on your site.
Brand bidding or ad hijacking: what's the difference?
Brand bidding is a third party bidding on your branded search terms. Ad hijacking is a paid ad that intercepts or competes with your branded traffic.
Can you tell me who is behind an ad?
PaidClick.ai connects advertising activity to advertiser information and, where available, verified legal-entity data.
What evidence do I get?
Ad context, timestamps, redirect chains, destination details and archived web interactions in WARC format.
Can PaidClick.ai trace redirects?
Yes. Investigations follow multi-hop redirect chains from the search click to the final landing page, so you can see what happens in between.
Can you monitor different countries?
Yes. Localized monitoring lets advertising behavior be investigated from different geographic environments, including regional abuse that is invisible from your headquarters.
What does the free audit include?
A written PDF within 48 hours: a detailed diagnostic vulnerability report on brand bidding and ad hijacking that you can hand to your team. The initial vulnerability review costs $0.
What do I need to share to get started?
Your name, business email, company website and approximate monthly affiliate revenue. Your current affiliate network(s) are optional. No SDK or site integration is needed.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. We are happy to sign your NDA. Just mention it in the form.
Will I get a sales sequence?
No. There are no drip emails. Our lead compliance analyst personally reviews every submission.
Which affiliate networks do you work with?
We have network integration experience across impact, CJ, Awin, Rakuten Advertising, Partnerize and more.
