The picture above is from my first book, Web Analytics: An Hour A Day, from page 235.

It is a part of multi-channel analytics chapter. Let's go there.

Traffic attribution identifies which sources drive visitors to a web property. If we can’t determine where the traffic comes from, we can neither attribute conversions to their original sources of traffic, nor can we find out the true cost per acquisition (CPA) or return on ad spend (ROAS) for each marketing activity.

Today when we measure our Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) for our campaigns (Search, Email, Affiliate, whatever), we just think of the macro-conversion and, perhaps worse, we think only of that session / visit.

Even on one device, a cross-browser experience completely ruins web and marketing analytics as we know it now. The goal of predictive attribution is to improve the overall CPA/ROAS of the whole marketing mix, not a specific channel or campaign. The result is a lot of direct traffic without any insight into what’s driving it up.
