[ Exercise: Duplication impact ]
ď‚§ Double-counting of conversions across channels can have
a significant impact on key metrics, especially CPA
ď‚§ Example: Display ads and paid search
– Total media budget of $10,000 of which 50% is spend on paid
search and 50% on display ads
– Total of 100 conversions across both channels with a channel
overlap of 50%, i.e. both channels claim 100% of conversions
based on their own reporting but once de-duplicated they
each only contributed 50% of conversions
– What are the initial CPA values and what is the true CPA?
ď‚§ Solution: $50 initial CPA and $100 true CPA
– $5,000 / 100 = $50 initial CPA and $5,000 / 50 = $100 true
CPA (which represents a 100% increase)

Conversions attributed to search terms
that contain brand keywords and direct
website visits are most likely not the
originating channel that generated the
awareness and as such conversion
credits should be re-allocated.
The study examined
data from two of
the UK’s busiest
ecommerce
websites, ASDA
and William Hill.
Given that more
than half of all page
impressions on these
sites are from logged-in
users, they provided a robust
sample to compare IP-based and cookie-based analysis against.
The results were staggering, for example an IP-based approach
overestimated visitors by up to 7.6 times whilst a cookie-based
approach overestimated visitors by up to 2.3 times.

Editor's Notes

  • #16 Customer Behavior Isn't LinearIf analysis has taught us in the online marketing, where a 10 percent visit-to-purchase conversion rate is still considered extraordinary, it's that customers don't behave in a linear fashion. Customers' goals don't always align with our direct online revenue goals. Customers change their minds. They get distracted. They lose interest. They save carts, abandon carts, add items to carts, remove items from carts, and sometimes all the above -- and in no particular order. Sometimes they navigate for products, sometimes they search for products. Sometimes they do both in the same visit. So long as customers are people, customer behavior will be dynamic and at times irrational, random, and unexplainable.So why are we trying to fit the dynamic nature of online customer behavior into a linear model? I've heard this question discussed recently in online retailing circles. It will gain momentum as a better model for analyzing customer behavior for e-commerce organizations. http://www.clickz.com/showPage.html?page=3596566
