• Even Distribution: Attributes conversions equally to each event in the conversion path.

• Weight First More: Attributes conversions to all events in the conversion path but gives the most weight to the first event and successively less weight to the following events.

• First Event: Attributes conversions to the first click or impression in the conversion path.

• Total (TL) = CT + VT * VT weight: Includes conversions attributed to clicks (CT for click-through) and to impressions (VT for view-through). Conversions attributed to impressions are multiplied by the specified view-through weight. The default view-through weight is 100%, which means that conversions attributed to impressions are counted as 100% of the value of conversions attributed to clicks.

• With Clicks (CT): Includes only conversions attributed to clicks.

• Impressions Only (VT): Includes only conversions that were attributed to impressions because no clicks were tracked in the conversion path.
