9.3 What happens if a user reads a publisher article and clicks on a Linkby link multiple times

What happens when a user clicks a Linkby link more than once — genuine repeat interest vs filtered duplicate or bot clicks.

Written by Meesha Price

Linkby takes click quality seriously. We've invested heavily in detecting fraudulent, malicious and automated traffic, so that the clicks you pay for come from real people with genuine shopping intent.

A real shopper often clicks through to a brand more than once before purchasing — much as they might on Meta or Google — and this genuine interest is a normal, valuable sign of someone moving closer to a sale. Where clicks don't add that value, though — duplicate or repeated clicks that don't reflect genuine interest, along with automated traffic from bots and tools — our systems filter them out automatically, so you're not paying for low-value noise. This keeps your billing fair and in line with industry standards, with nothing you need to do.

You're also in control of where your traffic comes from — you can geo-target a campaign so you only receive clicks relevant to the market you serve.

If anything in your click data ever looks unusual, our Linkby support team is always able to take a look.

Happy browsing!
