Abstract: A system is disclosed for measuring click traffic quality by scoring clicks made on sponsored advertisements. A click score generated by the disclosed system may enable advertisers and publishers to distinguish between legitimate and fraudulent clicks. The disclosed system may filter click data associated with a click made on a sponsored advertisement. The system may generate a click score that may represent the confidence with which the quality of a click may be determined. The system also may generate a confidence interval associated with the click score.
