Attribution is a popular word!
     Overheard at every Industry Conference,
      every Board Room and every Vendor
                     pitch.

The “Last Minute” Click


                                                   AVG TIME


      Click to Commission

How to correct?
        Major lines of thinking
                include
          •Remove Affiliates
             •First Click
        •Pay Per View Models

Remove Affiliates
                 Masks the problem
             Leaves revenue on the table
              “Head in Sand” technique




SEGMENTATION, ATTRIBUTION AND MOTIVATION – BRIAN LITTLETON FOUNDER/CEO
                             SHAREASALE
First Click Reward
          Often utilized by Merchants.
    On the surface, it looks like a good way to
     reward the first person to send traffic.




SEGMENTATION, ATTRIBUTION AND MOTIVATION – BRIAN LITTLETON FOUNDER/CEO
                             SHAREASALE
First one in, keeps everyone else out.
    Encourages spam and click stuffing
                  behaviour.
 Can result in simply random sale ownership.




SEGMENTATION, ATTRIBUTION AND MOTIVATION – BRIAN LITTLETON FOUNDER/CEO
                             SHAREASALE
What about View Tracking
  •Touted as a way to reward content sites who
         are othewise difficult to engage.
 •Activates on any view of the site as opposed to
            the user taking any action.




SEGMENTATION, ATTRIBUTION AND MOTIVATION – BRIAN LITTLETON FOUNDER/CEO
                             SHAREASALE
•Essentially is encouraged cookie-stuffing
      •Merchant has no real idea why / how a
     consumer came through this relationship.
            •Random sale ownership.




SEGMENTATION, ATTRIBUTION AND MOTIVATION – BRIAN LITTLETON FOUNDER/CEO
                             SHAREASALE
So what’s a better idea?
 •Let’s create a solution that is fair
 •Go back to history to remember the
 benefits…

SEGMENTATION, ATTRIBUTION AND MOTIVATION – BRIAN LITTLETON FOUNDER/CEO
                             SHAREASALE

 •Critical in developing a complex commission
