About us

We developed Addshield initially to protect our own publisher accounts
and to allow me more time for development instead of constantly reading
our log files and looking for suspicious activity.

Addshield didn't have a name back then, it was just a load of code that monitored IP addresses for suspicious click activity. Once we got the code running it allowed more time to do what we wanted to do and less of our time was wasted checking log files. The code has been running now for a number of years, so we've decided to give it away free!

Many times in the past we have contacted our Ad provider and alerted them when we accidently clicked on our own ads. It is something all developers do from time to time by accident, and the sudden realisation of doing it can make you feel a little sick, knowing you could have your account closed for such a trivial mistake.

Current independant reports suggest that up to 40% of clicks are invalid and potentially much higher on publisher networks. The big guns (like Google) are under pressure now to close publisher accounts with any suspicious activity.

So feel free to register and get yourself a free account and get protected now.
