Mobile Attribution guide - Part 3- General rules of attribution and priority

Rules of attribution and priority

























General rules of attribution and priority
1.Clicks takes precedence over impressions
2.Deterministic attribution 1:1 (unique identifiers, device IDs) takes precedence over non-deterministic non 1:1 (fingerprinting)
3.Clicks measured with a click date time take precedence over clicks measured without a click date time

4.When no deterministic identifiers are found then at last device fingerprinting method is used



Multi Touch Attribution- Assisted Installs and non Window conversions
In the last paragraph, we saw how we can credit an install to a network by using different methods. But that is not enough, we also need to understand how different ad networks or partners influenced the user before he finally downloaded the app. It also gives us an idea of the partner performance at individual level as well as to determine their reach
Below are some of the important terms:
Download- When user go to the app store and downloads the app into his device
Install- When the user opens the app for the first time
Attributed installs- Partner with last click and within the respective attribution window
Assisted installs- Prior to last click but within the attribution window
Non-window conversions- Partners with click within 30 days but outside of the attribution window

Example to understand Assisted installs +Non-window conv.






Example Scenario to understand the above
Partner 1- Click 20 days ago, attribution window 14 days
Partner 2- click 7 days ago, attribution window 7 days
Partner 3- Click 1 day ago, attribution 7 days ago
Detail: Here the attributed install goes to partner 1 as it is the last click and within the attribution window.Partner 2 receives the install assist as it generates clicks within their window. Partner 3 receives non window credit because their click was outside window but within the maximum 30 days
