Blocked sub IDs

Blocked sub IDs let you stop traffic from a specific sub-publisher source without blocking the entire publisher. Use this when you identify a sub ID sending low-quality or fraudulent traffic on a specific offer. Blocked sub IDs are offer-specific; blocking a sub ID on one offer does not affect the same publisher on another offer.

Before you begin

• Add the publisher the sub ID belongs to.
• Identify the exact sub_id value to block from your reports or postback logs.

Block a sub ID

1. Go to Publishers > Publishers Management and open the publisher.
2. Select the Blocked Sub IDs tab.
3. Click Create.
4. Pick the Offer from the dropdown.
5. Enter the Sub ID value to block.
6. Add an optional Description to record the reason for blocking.
7. Click Save.

Clicks from that publisher on that offer with the matching sub_id value are rejected immediately. The visitor is redirected to the offer’s fallback URL.

Bulk blocking

To block a large number of sub IDs at once, contact support@integr8.co with a list. Bulk import is available on request.
