Attribution link and lookback window
Attribution link type | Link activation | Lookback window |
---|---|---|
Click | A user clicks on an ad served by the ad network |
Click-through lookback window is preset; it's the maximum allowed time from click to install. Reddit gets an attribution if a lead clicks an ad and installs the app before the lookback window expires. Parameter name: af_click_lookback |
Impression | A user views (for at least one second) an ad served by the ad network |
View-through lookback window is preset; it's the maximum allowed time from view to install. Reddit gets an attribution if a lead views an ad and then installs the app before the lookback window expires. This applies if there are no other relevant ad clicks. Parameter name: af_viewthrough_lookback |
