Ad fraud rates in desktop display was at 4.1% in Singapore.

Desktop display ad fraud rates were the highest level globally in Singapore with 4.1% whilst rates were lowest in Poland with 0.4%, technology firm, Integral Ad Science (IAS), said in its latest report.

In its 16th Media Quality Report, IAS noted that ad fraud in mobile display was the highest in Germany with 2%, followed by Japan with 1.5%.

IAS revealed that mobile environments are still safer than desktop display, with optimised-against-ad-fraud rates hovering steadily at 0.5% or below for both display and video ads worldwide.

For mobile web display ad fraud, Singapore ranked 14th with a score of 0.8%.

IAS defined ad fraud as “any impressions resulting from a deliberate activity that prevents the proper delivery of ads to real people, at the right time, in the right place — resulting in financial or opportunity loss by the advertiser and/ or publisher in a particular transaction."

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
