Why Search Arbitrage Publishers Face Clawbacks

Your margins are tight. One clawback can wipe out months of profit. Termination ends your business.

Revenue Clawbacks

Google detects invalid clicks and reclaims your earnings. Clawbacks happen without warning and can represent a significant portion of your revenue.

Account Termination

Repeated invalid traffic violations lead to permanent account bans. Once terminated, you lose access to Google and often other monetization partners.

Margin Erosion

Bot clicks inflate your traffic costs while generating zero real revenue. You pay to acquire visitors who will never convert.

Common Questions

What causes Google clawbacks in search arbitrage?
Clawbacks occur when Google detects invalid traffic on your monetized pages. In search arbitrage, this typically happens when bots, data center traffic, or other fraudulent sources click on your AdSense or search feed ads. Google reclaims the revenue and may terminate your account for repeated violations.
How does Fraudlogix protect search arbitrage publishers?
Our IP Blocklist filters known fraudulent traffic sources before they reach your monetized pages. By blocking bots, data centers, proxies, and VPNs at the server level, you prevent invalid clicks from ever registering on your ads, eliminating the primary cause of clawbacks.
Does this work with Yahoo/Bing search feeds, not just AdSense?
Yes. Our IP Blocklist protects traffic regardless of your monetization partner. Whether you use Google AdSense, Yahoo/Bing search feeds through Perion, System1, or other providers, blocking fraudulent traffic protects your revenue and account standing across all platforms.
How quickly can I implement protection?
Most publishers integrate within hours. Fetch our blocklist via API or flat file download, then configure your server or CDN to block the flagged IPs. The list updates hourly, so schedule automatic refreshes for continuous protection.
