• 100 million IAPs
• Data from January 1 2015 to
May 31, 2015
2) IT TAKES A LOT OF CLICKS TO DRIVE AN INSTALL

6. INDIA CHALLENGED BY CLICK AND IAP FRAUD

7. 198 CLICKS TO DRIVE AN INSTALL IN INDIA
198
• Global fraud issue exacerbated in India because of
popularity of APK-based Installs and Internal Installs
• Massive click counts:
• Impeding ability to optimize and assess media performance
• Radically increasing measurement costs with vendors that
charges of every click
• Comprehensive measurement including FB and third-
party app stores is essential

3) DOUBLE-COUNTING OF INSTALLS IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE
• Any media company that touches a consumer will believe they deserve
payment for the install
• Tracking vendor performance particularly challenging because Indian
companies work with so many vendors
• Without comprehensive ongoing measurement and attribution, Indian
companies are paying 2-,3-,4- times for the same transaction or install

9. Challenge
• Leading Indian online retailer believed they were paying twice or
three times for installs because multiple vendors were taking credit.
Solution
• Implement Apsalar Attribution to track which vendors deserved
credit for an install.
Results
• By crediting installs to only one vendor, Apsalar was able to reduce
average CPI by 21%.
• Apsalar also provided counts of attributed installs to vendors to
eliminate data discrepancies.

13. LONG-TERM MEASUREMENT MATTERS
• Maximum 30-day measurement windows causing serious
problems for mcommerce businesses globally
• Problematic for retail, finance, travel, on-demand services
• Purchase cycles longer
• Objective is to build ongoing customer relationships
• Since installs are a very poor predictor of future revenue,
many companies are struggling to drive revenue and
optimize
