Shadow Campaign
Deploy a Shadow Campaign to isolate high-risk traffic into a separate Manual CPC campaign.
What Is a Shadow Campaign?
A Shadow Campaign isolates high-risk traffic into a separate campaign with a fixed Manual CPC, preventing suspicious clicks from draining your primary campaign's budget. Your main campaign keeps competing for genuine users, while the shadow absorbs the traffic Tapper flags as high-risk — at a price you control.
Enabling a Shadow Campaign
Navigate to Google Protection
Go to the Manage Google protection tab within your protected website dashboard.
Find Your Campaign
Locate the campaign you want to shadow in the list.
Activate Shadow Mode
Hover over the campaign row — a Shadow + button will appear. Click it.
Set the Manual CPC
Enter the desired Manual CPC value in the prompt that appears to finalize the setup.
Your shadow campaign is now active. High-risk traffic will be routed to this isolated campaign at your specified CPC.
