Case Study: TABcom eliminates price-scraping bots and restores blazing-fast site performance with Verizon Digital Media Services

TABcom - Customer Case Study

TABcom, owner of premium domains like dog.com, horse.com and garden.com, faced relentless bot-driven abuse: competitive crawlers that performed add-to-cart actions and scraped pricing, DDoS and high-volume spam that taxed backend servers, slowed legitimate customer access and caused real-time price undercutting that cost sales. Manual log inspections and firewall blocks were labor-intensive and ineffective against increasingly sophisticated scrapers.

By integrating Verizon Digital Media Services’ bot‑mitigation with its CDN, TABcom filtered malicious traffic before it hit origin servers. The proof-of-concept quickly stopped bad bots across the network, restored fast response times, saved hundreds of manual-hours per quarter, produced cleaner analytics for marketing and testing, and delivered click‑fraud reporting to recover ad spend and harden defenses ahead of peak shopping seasons.
