> Ad clicks inadequate measure

Only a small minority of people actually click on ads, the majority merely processes them (if at all) like any other adver3sing without an immediate response so adver3sers cannot rely on clicks as the sole success measure but should instead focus on impressions delivered

> Purchase path vs. a)ribu-on


Important to make a dis3nc3on between media a0ribu3on and purchase path tracking
Not the same, one is necessary to enable the other

Tracking the complete purchase path, i.e. every paid and organic campaign touch point leading up to a conversion is a necessary requirement to be able to actually do media a0ribu3on or the alloca3on or conversion credits back to campaign touch points
Purchase path tracking is the data collec3on and media a0ribu3on is the actual analysis or modelling

> Google Analy-cs


Mul3-channel funnels Pros
Concatenates and groups campaign codes across visits Free of charge as part of main tool Out of the box reports that require no addi3onal tags Does not require data warehousing and custom analy3cs Raw data cannot be exported for advanced modelling Cannot combine purchase paths across devices Doesnt include ad impressions (maybe DoubleClick in the future) Channels can be grouped but not re-classied in the interface
Oine responses via search call to ac3on show up as search, etc

Cons

Plauorm cannot accommodate oine data (surveys, CRM, etc) Purchase path data only, no a0ribu3on modeling or ROMI

> Adobe SiteCatalyst


Cross-visit par3cipa3on & light server calls DoubleClick/Mediamind Genesis Pros
Concatenates campaign codes across visits into single string Light Server Call adds missing ad impressions into campaign code string Imports last ad impression, click and ad costs into SiteCatalyst as events Easy add-on for SiteCatalyst clients, requires JavaScript change only Doesnt require addi3onal data warehousing as stored in SiteCatalyst Campaign responses can be re-classied arer the fact (SAINT) Conic3ng un-integrated solu3ons (Light Server Call vs. Genesis) Addi3onal costs due to a light server call for each ad impression Light Server Call tracks ad impression but lacks more granular ad data Cannot concatenate campaign codes across dierent top level domains Data can only be exported as concatenated strings without 3me stamps Plauorm cannot integrate oine data into modelling (surveys, CRM, etc) Basic a0ribu3on modelling only that cannot be changed in retrospect Purchase path data only, no exible a0ribu3on modeling or ROMI
