Looking for advice from anyone with experience integrating video ad networks.
I’m building a video streaming site and want to implement a flow like:
User clicks Play → Ad is displayed/redirected → User returns → Video starts
I have a few questions:

I’m building a video streaming site and want to implement a flow like:
User clicks Play → Ad is displayed/redirected → User returns → Video starts
I have a few questions:
- What ad types are typically used for this? Smartlink, Popunder, CPA, VAST, etc.?
- How can I verify that an ad was actually served/triggered? Does loading the ad script mean a valid ad impression was generated?
- How can I determine whether a specific playback generated revenue? Do ad networks usually provide APIs, postbacks, or callbacks for this?
- What should I consider regarding ad-network fraud detection/risk control? For example, duplicate requests, abnormal traffic, accidental clicks, etc.
- Are there any good open-source solutions for ad event tracking, fraud detection, or user behavior analysis?
