Attribution Modeling »
Table with Pros and Cons of Attribution Models
Now that we have introduced a lineal attribution model, let’s review the various models that Analytics provides:
Which is best for you on a daily basis? What is truly important all things considered? Let me explain to you why:
PROs | CONs | |
---|---|---|
Last Interaction | Maximum extension, popular, standard. | The other channels are not taken into consideration or given importance; unfair assessment. |
Last Indirect Click | You favor the last channel that is not related to direct traffic. | Like the above, but we move the moment of conversion to the left. |
Last AdWords Click | Understandable if Adwords represent a high percentage of your online marketing investment. | Everything imaginable. If Google Analytics and Adwords belong to the same company, they’ll want to incentivize Adwords. |
First Interaction | You credit the interaction that initiates the buying process, that creates the need. | This is unfair; the channels that register later participation are not credited. |
Lineal | All channels are equally credited. | A banner click is given the same credit as a newsletter click. That is, a new click is equally as valuable as one already in our CRM. |
Decline over time | The closer to the sale, the more value. | The click that initiated the buying process is not credited. |
Based on position | Both the opening and closing clicks are credited. The least unfair. | The middle clicks are not credited. |
So many options, websites, marketing campaigns, market and cultural maturity, product types, prices, e-commerce or lead acquisition…
