© 2009 Eyeblaster – All rights reserved  Introduction  Identifying conversion pages  Hands on  Questions? Conversion Training Agenda

© 2009 Eyeblaster – All rights reserved  Traditionally the number of visitors was used to measure the success of a website. However, a marketing campaign is fairly useless if it generates many visitors but none of these visitors perform the desired actions: “converted”.  Conversion tracking is a form of website traffic analytics that measures the effectiveness of a channel at directing visitors to a website and persuading them to take a desired action.  Channels may include; –Online display marketing –Search engine marketing –Television ads  Desired actions typically include; –Visiting a particular web page –Purchasing a product –Signing up for an account, newsletter or filling out a contact form Introduction What is conversion tracking?

© 2009 Eyeblaster – All rights reserved  Conversion tracking methods: –Log analysis: The log files generated by the web server are analysed. –Tracking service (like Eyeblaster): Tracking script(s) are inserted into the page(s) of the website that is to be tracked. Visitors reaching that page triggers the tracking script which updates a database.  The effectiveness is expressed as a percentage called the Conversion Rate. Conversion Rate = (Requests from source / Total page requests ) * 100% Example: if a web page has had 1000 total page requests and 50 from an advertising campaign, it has had a conversion rate of 50/1000*100 = 5%  Conversion rates vary between industry and type of conversion, but generally a conversion rate of more than 1% are considered quite good. Introduction Conversion Tracking Basics

© 2009 Eyeblaster – All rights reserved  Allows insight into how each channel is performing. This insight can be used to optimize your campaigns and website.  Gives you the ability to perform split-tests on ads and the pages those ads direct traffic to.  Most importantly, it tells you if you digital advertising is working. If you know the value of a conversion you are able to work out what the cost per conversion is (known as Cost Per Action – CPA). Introduction Importance of conversion tracking

© 2009 Eyeblaster – All rights reserved  To track users’ activities when visiting the advertiser’s website, dedicated HTML tags must be placed on each tracked page. These tags are called “Conversion Tags", and are generated through the Eyeblaster interface.  Each Conversion Tag is named according to the activity being tracked, and can be reused from one campaign to another.  There are two types of Conversion Tags:  Counter Tags: These are used to count the number of times a user has visited a certain page, i.e., the activity in this case is the actual user visit to the page.  Sales Tags: These are used to track how many items a user made a purchase and the total spending. The tags are typically used on the "Thank You" page after a transaction is completed. Which pages to conversion track?

© 2009 Eyeblaster – All rights reserved  Before starting to tag the advertiser site, it is important to define in advance what will be tracked.  Create Conversion Tags only in a section set up for the product advertised in the campaign. Otherwise, Conversion Tags are "wasted" on general pages that attract mostly random users not interested in the specific offering.  For each section or page within the site that is considered a step in the conversion process, a different Conversion Tag should be used. For example; –Product Info: The first page the user encounters. –Select Product: Where the user selects the specific model and quantity. –User Info: Where a user registers. –Billing Info: Where the use enters credit card information. –Checkout: Where the user confirms the buy. –Thank You: After the buy.

© 2009 Eyeblaster – All rights reserved Multiple Ads Per Flight Ad Rotation Method - Weighted  Weighted allows the media agency and creative agency to set specific weightings to each of the ads in the system.  For Example, if a flight has three ads running together and the media/creative agency would like one ad to be delivered 50% of the time, and the other two ads 25% of the time, this can be set through the weighted option.
