Original Date- December 1, 2009

Length- 58 minutes

Fewer than one third of online marketers are happy with their ability to measure interactive media. The main reason is that the industry standard of crediting the last click or last interaction is flawed. Recently, several leading players in the industry have introduced the concept of attribution measurement, which assigns credit to multiple touchpoints in a consumer’s purchase path.

Forrester Research, Inc. Senior Analyst Emily Riley, a leading authority on the topic, will be our guest speaker and present an overview of her recently published Interactive Attribution Wave. Emily will review the shifting trends in the market, highlight key players, and show marketers how to gain valuable insights by adopting attribution measurement practices. This is the first time attribution vendors have been evaluated, yielding groundbreaking insights that are valuable for interactive marketers, vendors, and publishers alike.

Length- 36 minutes

Attribution management — the process of tracking, assembling and properly valuing an entire team of online ads as they lead to conversions — has become a critical component of advertising analytics.

ClearSaleing, Inc., a leader in advertising analytics and founder of the Attribution Management Forum, and Vetra Analytics, a leader in quantitative marketing, have recently announced The American Attribution Index (AAI).  The AAI is the first-ever attribution management index that measures the relative effectiveness of each online advertising source and influence factor on consumer purchases and conversions.

In this webcast, we’ll learn more about the AAI, and how advertisers can use this new index to improve the effectiveness of their media mix allocation.
There are three versions of the American Attribution Index: the Aggregate Index, representing average attribution indices across all participating companies and all of their respective industries; Vertical Industry Indices, which represent an industry-specific attribution index across all participating companies in that respective industry; and Company-Specific Indices, developed for a specific company.

The introduction of these indices will allow marketers to gain further insight into advertising ROI, and help marketers more profitably allocate advertising budgets across available online options.

Attend this webcast and learn:
•    How to discover the relative importance of online media sources in influencing purchase decisions.
•    How you can benchmark against your competitors using the vertical attribution indices.
•    How you can use an attribution index customized for your company to improve the allocation of your online advertising investments.

This webcast highlights key attribution management features and functionality to look for when selecting and advertising analytics solution.

Attribution management — the process of tracking, assembling and properly valuing an entire team of online ads as they lead to conversions — has become a critical component of advertising analytics. Identifying which ad deserves “credit” for the sale or conversion has never been easy. The once-popular “last-click” conversion model has given way to a more sophisticated approach that evaluates the ‘influence potential’ of each ad click, impression, or site visit. With proper attribution, marketers can accurately measure, improve, and optimize the profit and ROI generated from cross-media advertising investments. But to do so requires the right advertising analytics solution. How do you evaluate the various options? Which attribution management features and capabilities should marketers look for in advertising analytics packages?

This webcast highlights key attribution management features and functionality to look for when selecting and advertising analytics solution, including:
•    tracking capability
•    reporting functions
•    relevance of ads along Purchase Paths
•    basic and custom attribution modeling
•    data storage

Find out what you need to know – and what questions to ask – when considering an advertising analytics solution for attribution management.

Attribution Management Forum 2.0 – Measuring an Ad’s Value

This webcast continues the discussion surrounding how to identify, define and ultimately recommend better ways to measure and value an ad.
We’ll present a series of interactive polling questions and share the results with the audience immediately, so you’ll get some real-time information as to how leading internet marketers value ads.
Any good Internet marketing professional knows that assigning all of the value to the last ad clicked on before the conversion is inherently flawed. However, most Internet advertisers lack:

•   The tracking technology required to determine the actual team of ads and their sequence that lead to the conversion.

•   The valuation methodology to properly assess each ad’s true contribution and value to the conversion.

    While a few technologies are now able to effectively track and assemble the purchase path leading to conversion, there is no industry-accepted standard or method for assigning relative value to ads in the path. How do we effectively attribute which ad – or group of ads – ultimately led to the final conversion?
    We’ll cover a variety of common issues and scenarios surrounding attribution, such as:

    •   How length of time between searches affect how ads are credited

    •   Lifetime ad value with use of additional search

    •   Best allocation of different advertising scenarios, such as online-offline

          If the same search term is used, is that navigational?

          Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

          In this Purchase Path, a consumer searches for running shoes. They click on the ad from Finish Line, yet do not make a purchase. Then they type in the search term “Nike Shox Womens”, click on a Finish Line ad again, but do not make a purchase. Lastly, they use the same search term as before “Nike Shox Womens”, found the Finish Line ad again, clicked on it, and completed the purchase.

          a) In this attribution rule, credit is given to the last search ad clicked before the sale.

          b) In this attribution rule, there are 3 ads, and there is no differentiation between them. All the ads assisted in making the sale and therefore credit is distributed evenly among the 3.

          c) In this attribution rule, since the same search term was used twice, you conclude that the second time it was used it was for navigational purposes. Therefore the 3rd search term is excluded and credit for the sale is distributed evenly across the first 2 ads.
