INFLUENCE GROUPS FOR CONVERSIONS
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for attributing conversions among multiple members of a socially connected influence group, such as a household. Data from advertising impressions, including views and clicks, is maintained by an online system. When a conversion is made, the social network of the user creating the conversion event is analyzed. An influence group, defined as a group comprising the users and group of socially connected users whom influence the purchasing decisions of the first user, is created. Conversion data is analyzed for the first user and the other members of the influence group. This data is weighted to determine the propensities of successful conversions among all members of the influence group.
