Fraud long has been known to be one of the most troublesome issues on the Internet, with digital advertising increasingly one of its prime victims. The Association of National Advertisers (ANA) in late 2015 estimated that marketers will waste as much as $7 billion globally in 2016, buying online advertisements that people do not see.

The article was recently published in the June 2016 issue of the Journal of Advertising Research and is reprinted with permission.
