The cool part about display advertising is that we can build our brands cost effectively, introduce our products to a new audience, and create demand based on a number of intent signals (this last part is often missing from offline media). Focus on optimizing your Cost per Acquisition (CPA).

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. But identification is not organization. Approach 1: The tactical approach.

In earlier posts on this blog, I've simply defined the journey as Acquisition, Behavior and Outcomes. It's just that there are so many and I set myself the challenge to just focus on two metrics each for acquisition, behavior and outcomes. I even abandoned CPA (not enough focus on what makes the ads good).

Pay Per Click Advertising (PPC) We didn’t have the slightest idea about search engine optimization (SEO), so we focused on PPC to drive traffic to our website.

But in the past, it’s been done pretty transparently through advertising in the form of a spokesman. The closest resemblance to today’s online influencer advertising is product placement in popular TV shows and movies: Image Source.

Compute Actual Cost Per Acquisition Post-Facto Including Micro-Conversions. 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.

To become profitable using a freemium business model, this simple equation must hold true: Lifetime value > Cost per acquisition + Cost of service (paying & free) Said in plain english, the lifetime value of your paying customers needs to be greater than the cost it took to acquire them, plus, the cost servicing all users (free or paying).
