In January 2019, Samsung devices had a 55.348% IVT rate, compared to the deliciously high rate of 98.201% on juicy
apple devices (that’s why the icon is so much larger, so it’s clear). And this might have included both display and
video impressions, but we’re not sure. But don’t worry, the numbers’ right, yeah to 3 decimal places.

FRAUD WAS REDUCED BY
83%, 94.1%, AND 600%
• There is a new monumental
breakthrough method to reduce
fraud that anyone can do by
getting “CERTified”.
• And it works really well when we
compare randomly selected and
averaged numbers of data from
studies we never looked at or
know what was even measured,
and compared it with our number
which is totally complete and
accurate, we showd it reduced
fraud by an impressive 600%.

METHODOLOGY & DISCLAIMER
WE’RE NOT TOTALLY SURE WHAT WE MEASURED OR HOW; BUT AS LONG AS WE DISCLOSE THAT IN
THE FINE PRINT YOU SHOULD BELIEVE US.
METHODOLOGY
We used special technology with McDonald’s
bigmac sauce and The Colonel’s secret recipe,
so it’s doubly special and we can’t tell you
anything about it because now it’s our secret
specialmac sauce. We then sprinkled with
some fairy dust and wishful thinking on top
because it tastes better and we really didn’t
know where the tracking tags were placed
anyway – couldbe on the site or in the ad, who
knows? And we have free beer after 3p.
Don’t worry, we’re accredited and we
measured a lot of stuff. Like, a lot. And people
keep paying us anyway. We promise we will
keep updating and making ours tuff better. It’s
proprietary and really special and you can’t do
it yourself, so we think you should definitely
believe it. 100%
DISCLAIMER
These really really accurate results were just
our opinion, and we believe the numbers are
accurate to at least 3 decimal places, maybe
more, but we want to be conservative so we
rounded them to only 3 decimle places, or 2 in
some charts.
No one else has looked at these numbers, but
trust us they are 100.10% accurate because we
tried really really hard and you can trust is
anyway without seeing any supporting data.
