Case Study: Real Good Media achieves advertiser trust and reduces non‑human ad traffic to under 3% with Distil Networks

How Distil Strengthens Advertiser Relationships for Real Good Media by Blocking Non-Human Traffic

Real Good Media, a boutique digital ad operations agency led by CEO Andrew Cisek, supports publishers and advertisers including Entrepreneur, Heavy, Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Dailymotion. When a major advertiser flagged suspicious clicks and launched an audit—threatening significant revenue—Real Good Media needed to quickly demonstrate traffic integrity and address potential fraud.

Real Good Media used Distil Networks to block non‑human traffic, provide detailed threat and trap analyses, and filter traffic from VPS and major cloud providers (e.g., ColoCrossing, Amazon, Microsoft Azure), effectively blocking millions of malicious IPs. Combined with CAPTCHAs and selective blocking of certain verification vendors, this reduced bot traffic to under 3%, delivered in‑depth reporting the advertiser praised, and preserved the client relationship.
