The world’s biggest advertisers rely on VPT to make sure that online marketing partners follow the rules.

Direct-Observation Caught-In-The-Act Proof
When we say a particular marketing partner committed a particular violation, we bring the proof – usually video and network logs. This is the best evidence of what really happened.
The Web, At Scale
Thousands of marketing partners and affiliates. Millions of websites. Who-knows-how-many adware programs and browser plugins. Advertisers don’t have the resources or incentives to examine this complexity on their own. But by building appropriate automation, and sharing these resources across advertisers, we get the job done – efficiently and cost-effectively.
Tracking and Follow-Through
We report our findings in a modern, organized dashboard, so it’s easy to keep track of what we found. For advertisers that want our help taking action – communicating with partners, or removing rogue partners from their program – we can do that too.
Your ROI is Our Bottom Line
We get it. Online advertising is expensive, unaccountable, and, too often, difficult to measure. We can help. When an advertiser excludes the violations we uncover, advertising costs drop – and sales usually stay the same. Our benefits drop straight to your bottom line.
