Abstract

A computer implemented method can determine validity of web-based interactions. Web-based interaction data relating to a web-based interaction may be accessed. The web-based interaction data may include aggregate measure data that may include a number of unique queries per web-based session. The validity of the web-based interaction may be determined based on the aggregate measure data.

accessing web-based interaction data relating to a web-based interaction, the web-based interaction data comprising aggregate measure data that comprises a number of unique queries per web-based session;

ignoring or blocking the web-based interaction based on the aggregate measure data; and

determining the validity of the web-based interaction based on the aggregate measure data.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: automatically adjusting an account of a web-based advertiser by reducing or removing a cost of the web-based interaction based on the aggregate measure data.

15. A computer implemented method for determining validity of web-based interactions, comprising:

accessing aggregate measure data relating to a web-based interaction, the aggregate measure data comprising a number of unique actions per web-based session;

automatically adjusting an account of a web-based advertiser by reducing or removing a cost of the web-based interaction based on the number of unique actions per web-based session; and

determining the validity of the web-based interaction based on the number of unique actions per web-based session.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising: ignoring or blocking the web-based interaction based on the number of unique actions per web-based session.

17. The method of claim 15 , where the unique actions per web-based session include unique clicks per web-based session.

18. The method of claim 15 , where the unique actions per web-based session include unique queries per web-based session.
