Conversion Tracking Methodology
Settings
You have the option to configure the following conversion settings for campaigns:
Setting |
Explanation |
Tracking List |
Specify the conversions you would like this campaign to track by selecting them from the list. You may select multiple conversions. |
Type |
Specify whether you want to track clickthrough conversions, viewthrough conversions, or both. |
Lookback Window |
The maximum number of days that can elapse between a click and a conversion or a view and a conversion for the conversion to still be counted. Note that if a view happens after a click, we will still count as a clickthrough conversion if it is within the lookback window as clicks are a stronger signal. |
Value Viewthrough Conversions |
Some advertisers may have determined that they value viewthrough conversions at a lower value than clickthrough conversions. Setting a value of less than 100% will discount the revenue associated with a viewthrough conversion accordingly. For example, if your conversion has revenue of $10 associated and the viewthrough conversion valuation is 50%, we will count only $5 of revenue. |
Deduplication |
How do you want multiple conversion events to be handled? The default setting is appropriate under most circumstances. If a conversion pixel is triggered more than once within two minutes, we will only count one conversion. This balances the chance of accidental repeat fires (for example, if a user refreshes the page) with the possibility of multiple conversion events happening (for example, if a user makes a second purchase in the same day). However, you may also apply more or less restrictive counting settings as you prefer. |
