    The percentage varies wildly depending on the campaign and the optimization criteria.  As mentioned in the article, app install campaigns that do not look at downstream engagement are likely the most vulnerable to several of these types of fraud since they will likely be actively optimizing toward mislabeled inventory and install fraud inventory. Campaigns that are optimized strictly on click-through are also at risk for the same reason - optimizing just on clicks means the impression frequency will be highest on fraudulant inventory where clicks are plentiful. The solution in both cases is the same - optimize campaigns based on downstream actions.  If you give your budget to sites and apps that drive the most engaged users instead of the most installs you'll eliminate most fraud and end up with a stronger more engaged user base as a bonus.
