BotRefund vs. Castle, Imperva, and ClickCease: What Sets Its Bot Detection Apart

Outcome First

BotRefund not only flags bot traffic with >99% accuracy, it also negotiates refunds from Google and Meta on your behalf, turning detected fraud into recovered budget.

Implementation Steps

1. Install the script. Add the BotRefund snippet to your site – it takes about one minute ("Add BotRefund to your website in about one minute").
2. Run the free audit. Submit your ad‑spend details to receive a live bot‑traffic report.
3. Review detection signals. BotRefund evaluates ghost clicks, honeypot traps, robotic pointer paths, super‑human speed, grid‑aligned movement, static sessions, and network anomalies like suspicious ports (see "One of 106 independent checks BotRefund uses").
4. Set protection thresholds. Adjust sensitivity based on the audit to block or flag suspicious sessions.
5. Initiate refund claims. BotRefund contacts Google/Meta with proof of fraudulent clicks and pursues reimbursement.

Common Mistake

Relying on a single signal (e.g., only IP reputation) can produce false positives; BotRefund’s strength is the cross‑checking of many independent signals before labeling traffic as a bot.

Verification Step

Log into the BotRefund console and confirm that flagged sessions appear under the “Bot Detection” dashboard, showing the combined evidence (behavioral + network) for each visit.
