The Attribution Management Forum 2.0 will be held on Thursday, January 29th at 1 p.m. EST, and is the second Forum in a series intended to bring together leading online marketing and advertising minds to help address the fundamental problem faced by all advertisers – how to properly assign value across the team of ads that contributed to a sale or conversion.

The first Attribution Management Forum was successful in establishing basic guidelines and rules for attribution management across various online advertising sources. The purpose of the second Attribution Management Forum webcast is to build upon the concepts and guidelines that were established during the initial Forum webcast in October 2008, while introducing new scenarios and categories related to online ad conversion to the respective audiences of leading online advertisers and marketers.

With a high level of participation from these leaders, we can draw decisive conclusions that will improve the performance of companies and agencies alike.

“It is encouraging to see that many of the most influential online advertising minds are continuing their interest in the Forum to better the process of attribution management,” said Adam Goldberg, who is the presenter of the Forum, and the co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer at ClearSaleing. “With a high level of participation from these leaders, we can draw decisive conclusions that will improve the performance of companies and agencies alike.”

Some of the online advertising topics that will be discussed during the Attribution Management Forum 2.0 include:

  • How the length of time between searches affects how the ad(s) are credited
  • How to properly credit ads that contribute to the sale of a non-related purchase
  • How to give accurate conversion credit for purchase path’s that include offline touches

Creative minds in the Internet marketing and online advertising fields are encouraged to become active members of the Attribution Management Forum 2.0. The second webcast will take place on Thursday, January 29 at 1:00 p.m. EST. If you are interested in attending the Attribution Management Forum 2.0, you may register here.

Columbus, OH (PRWEB) January 12, 2009 — After establishing some basic guidelines and rules for attribution management across various online advertising sources, a second Attribution Management Forum (AMF) will be held on January 29, 2009.

The first Forum taught us that the ‘last click’ model is no longer an option, and marketers are trying to give fair, and more accurate credit to the multiple ads that help a user to convert on their site. For the second Forum webcast, we want to dig deeper into these scenarios to define credit rules for each of the various scenarios and sources, while introducing new topics for thought.

“In the first Forum, we were really starting with a clean slate and trying to understand which basic rules could be established when attributing credit to an online ad conversion that was the result of a team of ads,” said Adam Goldberg, co-found and Chief Innovation Officer of ClearSaleing. “The first Forum taught us that the ‘last click’ model is no longer an option, and marketers are trying to give fair, and more accurate credit to the multiple ads that help a user to convert on their site.

Attribution Management 2.0

By Adam Goldberg

On October 28, we held the first Attribution Management Forum (AMF). We created the AMF to bring together the most influential minds in the online advertising community and to better identify, define and ultimately recommend improved valuation practices and methodologies for measuring an ad’s value.

The AMF is a thought exercise that has several objectives:

  • facilitating the discussion of emerging trends in Attribution Management
  • enabling online marketers to take steps toward being more profitable
  • identifying consensus on certain attribution models
  • establishing industry benchmarks
  • In the AMF 2.0, to be held on January 29, we will be exploring many of theideas and discussions that have surfaced since the first Forum. Specifically, based upon audience results and feedback from the first Forum, we will focus on the following:

  • Time Sensitive Attribution. One area in which we established consensus in the first Forum was that over 65% of our audience believes that when three search ads are involved in a conversion, all three ads deserve equal credit for the conversion versus crediting only the first or last ad. In AMF 2.0, we are going to explore this scenario even further by introducing an element of time. For example, if the three search ads appeared in a conversion over 30 days, would we still have a consensus that all ads deserve equal credit for the conversion?
  • Product Sensitive Attribution. A widely known industry fact is that over 44% of online purchases that are a result of online advertising are for products not related to the ad(s) that were clicked. In AMF 1.0, we did not pay attention to which product was sold, but only that a conversion occurred. In AMF 2.0, we will specifically call attention to the fact the product sold was unrelated to the team of ads that produced the conversion. Will this new data point change the consensus opinion that all ads deserve equal credit?
  • Search – Display Interaction. In the first Forum, we saw that when two banner impressions were served to a consumer who then clicked on a corresponding search ad for the company, 88% of our audience believed that the banners deserved some credit for a subsequent conversion, but not as much as the search ad. In AMF 2.0, we are going to reverse the order of this Purchase Path to see if people think that banner impressions that occur after a search ad are still worthy of getting some form of credit.

As was our hope in AMF 1.0, AMF 2.0 will continue to drive bigger ideas, establish some consensus and create benchmarks that online marketers will be able to put in action. We had a wide range of audience participation in AMF 1.0, including Fortune 500 and large international agencies. If you are interested in participating in the AMF 2.0, please Register Here.
