measurement vs. View-though
measurement

Store, Android/Google Play Store,
Amazon App Store, etc.
Method Dependent on 3 Factors
Choosing The Best Fit
Install Attribution
Install Attribution with App-to-
App vs. Web-to-App
WHY DO YOU
NEED PROPER
ATTRIBUTION
Concurrent tracking methods – one user could be attributed to
different channels, depending on who you ask and when!
•  Multiple networks take credit for the same install
Prevent Duplicate Attributions
Networks know top of line metrics only, not ROI
•  Many networks support a real-time feedback loop to optimize
campaigns based on app installs, but not all
•  Ad networks use different look back periods
Prevent Inaccurate Metrics
