Timeline
[ Internet users ]
The anonymous person clicks the small
button. Differentiate between large
and small buttons by creating custom
properties like “button variant”.
User selects a plan and signs up.
By creating a custom event that
fires when a person submits a form,
relevant form data gets passed into
KISSmetrics as properties.
John fills out the form and clicks “Login.”
Just like when John filled out the sign-up
form, KISSmetrics automatically aliases the
anonymous identity to the named identity.
KISSmetrics tracks forms to continue
painting a complete picture of John, even
when he switches to a mobile device.
He decides to upgrade his
account to the large plan.
John switches to the large plan
and clicks “Upgrade!”. KISSmetrics
adds $20 to the “Billed Amount”
property while preserving the first
value of $10 to create a timeline of
upgrades and downgrades.

About Aliasing: Once a person supplies your
website with a named identity (such as an email address
given via a signup form), KISSmetrics can then “alias”
that named identity to the person’s previous identities,
including the person’s anonymous identity (XYZ123). This
allows KISSmetrics to paint a “complete” picture about
John Smith. Aliasing happens automatically when you
track a form submission event and can also be manually
forced via our APIs or integrations.
Referrer: Google
Search term: “accounting”
URL: home.html
Referrer: Direct
Button Variant: Small
Email Address: johnsmith@gmail.com
Billed Amount: $20
A person Googles “accounting,”
sees your accounting software
displayed as the first result, and
clicks through.

Because your webpage has KISSmetrics’ tracking code in
its <head>, KISSmetrics tracks this anonymous person’s
arrival by tagging that person with an auto-generated ID
(XYZ123). KISSmetrics also fires default events & properties.
This is an event. Outside of default events, you
can create custom events that fire in a number of
scenarios:
•	 Person clicks on a button
•	 Person views a webpage
•	 Person submits a form
Then include event details as optional properties.
Either create custom events & properties by filling
out a form in the event library or by asking your
developer to use any of our APIs or integrations.
As people travel through your website, KISSmetrics
tracks what events and properties they trigger.
ABC789
John returns to your site, this time on his smartphone.
Until he signs in, KISSmetrics doesn’t know who he is
and assigns him a fresh anonymous ID (ABC789).
What if you could know that for every $1 invested
in ranking for the search term, “accounting,” you’re
pulling $10 back? With KISSmetrics, you can.
Here’s how we connect the dots between search
terms and revenue, in step-by-step detail.
How KISSmetrics tracks the ROI of SEO by tracking people.
Other analytics tools won’t account for John’s total lifetime value,
which started at $10/month and increased to $20/month after his
upgrade. He may stay for 3 years and switch plans half a dozen
times. KISSmetrics tracks all those revenue-related events to give
marketers ROI reports that aren’t just pegged to the first transaction,
but are pegged to lifetime transactions. Now you can know that your
#1 ranking for the search term “accounting” is pulling $10 for every
$1 spent on maintaining your ranking.
You can now compare SEO costs to revenue reports like this in
KISSmetrics for ROI calculations:
chronological summary of johnsmith@gmail.com
This is what KISSmetrics knows about johnsmith@gmail.com after
15 days. Every event & property is timestamped so you can pull
reports on specific time periods.
