Any good and advanced custom attribution model?
-
Does anyone of you has some good and advanced custom attribution model for sharing or some advanced use case?
I have over 1000 campaigns per month from all sources and I don't know how optimise them?
Most of my adwords campaigns have impressions share close to 100%.
-
I actually haven't heard of that, but it might be referring to how conversions are counted after attribution modeling is applied? Example (with totally made-up numbers):
AdWords has 100 conversions when using a last-click model. When applying a first-click model, AdWords only has 25 "weighted conversions".
That's just a guess though. I also can't find any additional information on it. Do you have a source where you saw that term that I can read? That'd help.
-
Thank you. I should ask you one more question, I can't find it.
Do you know meaning of "weighted number of conversions" in attribution models?
How analytics calculate it? Do you have any example?
-
A lot of people don't like last click because it gives all of the credit for a conversion to the most recent interaction before the conversion happened. While there's some merit to that, it completely ignores the many other touchpoints a customer interacted with before they converted. For example, a customer could visit your site, see an ad on Facebook, receive an e-mail, search for your brand on Google and click an ad there, and then convert. With last click, paid search would get 100% conversion credit in that case. This link helps explain the different models:

I may be misunderstanding the second question, so let me know if I'm off base on this next response. If you're seeing that you're getting a lot of conversions off of impressions (viewthrough conversions) over click conversions, it could be worth investing a bit more in those campaigns. You'd really need to look at your attribution model comparison to see how much those impression-based conversions are really impacting things. A lot of digital marketers prefer click conversions as they're easier to defend as legit than viewthrough conversions, so be a bit wary about those, but I wouldn't ignore them completely.
When comparing models, I'd start at a high level and drill down as necessary, so check things out by the MCF Channel Grouping dimension first.
Are you asking about the Last Non-Direct Click model? I believe direct traffic is excluded there so people can get a better idea of what channels typically lead people to the site before converting, but I'm not sure.
This might be some good reading for you if you want to learn more about attribution and pros and cons for the various models:
-
Yes, I've been using model comparison tool. But I have few questions.
When I compare models, last click is always the best in my case, but recommendations are completely different. Should I ignore it?
If I've seen that Impressions are better then click like interaction type, should I create (or increase ratio) impressions campaign?
Also, when you compere some models, do you usually test models on type of traffic, or you compere some campaigns, or goals?
Also, if I exclude direct traffic from last step, I would automatically have better results from other sources, but in reality you would have the same ratio of direct traffic because you can't directly increase or decrease it. I don't understand that.

Hi Tormar,
Are you using GA? If so, have you used the model comparison tool? That might give you some ideas for what model makes the most sense for your needs. If that's not quite enough, I've heard good things about Interstate Analytics, which is a pretty low cost tool that you can use for attribution as well.
Hope that's helpful!

How does Shopify attribute conversions?
I'm trying to resolve a number of conversion discrepancies found in Google Analytics. I discovered that Shopify also provides its own 'conversion details'. In some cases they correlate, which is awesome! But in many cases they do not. Anyone know why this is? And which is more reliable (remembering that Shopify is an actual, real order)? Does anybody know how Shopify attributes conversions (ie. last click, first click, or some hybrid of the two)?

Custom funnel tracking - Google analytics - premium or normal
If I have funnel with more options on same step. E.g. PDP (product detail page) --> "Sign in page A" or "Sign in page B" (customer can choose) --> "Thank you page" How can I track both options in same funnel?

Customer journey / customer drop off
Hi All, I would like to understand how visitors navigate through my site and find out where the main drop out areas are (i.e. what pages / sections of the site do users leave on). I will then be segmenting by mobile, tablet, new visitor, returning etc. to see how the various subsets of users behave. To do this I generally do the following: Identify main sections of the (ecomm) site: homepage, category pages, product pages, cart, checkout 1, checkout 2, checkout x, payment confirmation. For each section above I either use a segment to isolate that section of the site, either by regex or a simple page selector and apply to the Audience >> Overview report and record the resulting session count. OR I filter the Behaviour >> Site Content >> All Pages report to isolate the various site sections and record unique pageviews. I then plot these figures horizontally under a heading for each section of the site representing a flow between the pages of the site with a calculation showing the difference between each section of the site which represents user drop off. Hope that makes sense. What I am interested to know is, do you have any better suggestions to the process laid about above. Do you see any issues with this process?
