ClickDetective’s features and approach to click fraud are fairly standard, but there are some interesting aspects that set it apart from competitors. Perhaps most importantly, ClickDetective is a UK registered company and has offices both in the United States (in Arizona) and in Europe (the United Kingdom). An advertiser can contact the United States office for North American coverage and the UK office for coverage for ads in Europe and elsewhere.

The ability to directly work with a European office if you run international campaigns that you feel are being subjected to click fraud is a plus for companies located outside of North America or international subsidiaries of North American companies.

Another interesting aspect of ClickDetective is the ability to customize the level of the alert message that is displayed for daily repeat visitors. You can choose no message, a very innocent-sounding popup if your specified number of repeat clicks are made (the default is 3 in one day) that thanks the visitor for choosing your website and reminds them to bookmark it for future visits, all the way to a more severe warning that behavior is being monitored, and an “access denied” message. The text of the messages can also be customized to your preferences.

Your administrative account is immediately sent an email when suspicious behavior is detected so that you can make the choice as to how to respond upon learning the details. You will also be warned via email if it is anticipated that your paid-for number of clicks will not last through the month.
