At the dawn of the Web, tracking and data wasn’t regarded as powerful as it is today (anyone remember server log analysis, or the 30 page Webtrends reports?). Today, analysis is at the heart of a successful e-commerce strategy, although there has been a grave oversight which has only now been remedied.
As marketers run more and more advertising channels in driving users to the website, they’ve rightly relied on tracking to identify what worked and what didn’t. The problem is they have been looking at the wrong thing and basing media decisions from the wrong perspective.
The last-click model has been the demise of many marketing channels which perhaps played a valuable part in the brand discovery or product selection process of the consumer. Once the consumer has decided what they wanted to buy, they’d typically go directly to the site (via a branded search term) and convert in that visit. As the last click, that branded search term would have been credited with the sale and all the valuable media they consumed in getting to that decision was ignored and not credited. This leads to money being directed away from valuable media and fed into the direct channels and very much away from profitability.
With our clients now basing media decisions on attributed data (where the credit of the sale is shared between all campaigns in the path to conversion), very different media decisions are being made and happily they are reporting a great increase in overall performance of their activity. Check out our new Boden attribution case study to see this in action.
Why it’s taken so long for the industry to grasp this with both hands I don’t know, but now the tide has changed this is excellent for marketers for a number of reasons:It makes marketing much more fun as you can try out lots of smaller channels using attributed data to show their true value

Chatting with a TagMan client (who I can’t name) about the attribution data we provide them, I was really impressed with the approach they have taken in assessing the quality (and ROI) of campaigns and how they use this data in their media planning.
The digital currency of awarding credit is still on the last click that generated the sale, and this is what they use for awarding their affiliates and other CPA channels commission for the business they generate. However, they use the attribution analysis of the campaigns to work out if a CPA channel is producing a positive ROI – and therefore if they should continue to invest in it. Continue reading
Many companies have commented that through their use of an advanced web analytics company like AT Internet, Omniture or RedEye they already have analysis of every campaign a user clicks on in their path to conversion, and as a result they struggle to see how TagMan can help them beyond that.
