Attribution Myths & Misconceptions

Posted May 10th, 2010 under Articles, Webcasts with No Comments

When something gains a lot of popularity, whether it is a new product, a celebrity, a political view, a new business process, etc., you have your supporters and detractors. Typically, the supporters only see things with rosy colored glasses, which could cause them to ignore any negatives, while detractors use a lot of half-truths or flat out lies to represent their point of view. Given that Attribution Management is amongst the hottest topics in the world of online marketing, it too has its share of supporters and detractors.

On Wednesday, May 12 at 1pm EST, ClearSaleing will be presenting a webinar on the most common myths and misconceptions by attribution’s supporters and detractors. Here are the 12 most common misconceptions that will be addressed during this webinar:
