I discuss the overall importance of implementing a cross-device multi-attribution data infrastructure and reporting solutions that will uncover insights based on an various attribution models.

Last Click Attribution
User goes to your site. Converts on that visit. Full credit goes to that source.
…
O RLY???

3. @adrianvender#smx
Multi-Click, Multi-Device
In reality, user journeys are much more complex.

How do we track across devices?

5. @adrianvender#smx
Cross-Device Tracking with GA
With Universal Analytics, you can tie users across devices by sending a unique User ID in your UA hits.
Unfortunately, not all websites can identify users via logins, social authentications, etc.

User-ID Reports in GA
When you CANsend a User ID...
The reports are great!
Device Overlap: Discover common device combos among your users.
Device Pathing: See the order of device usage on your site.
Acquisition Device: Compare revenue from originating device vs later-used devices.

Cross-Device Tracking in Convertro
Pretty darn good.
Through a hybrid system of 1stand 3rdparty cookies, browser fingerprinting, 3rdparty data and other secret sauce, Convertrodoes somecross- device matching automatically.
Though, you can match by User ID, just to be certain.

How & Why to pick an Attribution Model.

Last-Click Attribution in GA Reports
Just say no.
If you have anycross-channel, multi-touch marketing... Last Click is a lie. Last Click is used for most standard GA reports.

Attribution Modeling in GA
Selecting any multi- touch model may provide a significant lift of conversion credit to your marketing channels.
Link your AdWords, DoubleClick (GA Premium only), or import cost data for any source to get CPA and ROAS metrics.

11. @adrianvender#smx
Conversion Segments
Use Conversion Segments with Attribution Models to answer questions like:
“What’s the revenue influence of Paid Search as an introducer?”
“How much credit does each channel get for long conversion journeys?”

12. @adrianvender#smx
Choosing an Attribution Model
You can select pre-defined rule-based models, or you can create custom rule-based models.
With GA Premium, you can enable an algorithmic “Data-Driven” attribution model!

Convertro’smagic is in the algorithmic attribution model, which involves a complex statistical analysis and regression learning to improve and assign conversion contribution by each channel, keyword, creative, etc.

You can also store/connect data with Google BigQuery. Visualize with Excel, Google Docs or Visualization API. http://www.programmableweb.com/news/three-techniques-visualizing-data-google-bigquery/how-to/2012/08/29
