Lifetime Ad Value (LAV) with related products

Posted February 6th, 2009 under AMF 2: Paid Search and Lifetime Ad Value (LAV) with No Comments

In this Purchase Path, a consumer did a search on a Monday and bought some peanut butter. Then a week later, they did another search and bought a complimentary product, jelly. Which search gets credit for the sales?

  1. In Attribution Rule A, you believe the first search should get credit for the sale of the peanut butter. However because the 2 products bought are so closely related, the first search should get credit for the sale of the jelly also.
  2. In Attribution Rule B, the first search gets credit for the first sale and a percentage of the credit for the next sale as well. The second search also deserves a portion of the credit, but not as much as the first.
  3. In Attribution Rule C, you do not believe in lifetime ad value and think that each search gets credit for only the sale that directly follows it.
