Impression happens when a user sees an ad in the webpage. A click means that a user has clicked an ad to reach the page with entities advertised. This makes a difference between an impression and a click.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">In mobile advertising, it is possible to track conversions based on impressions via view-through attribution (VTA). The conversion is generated when someone sees an ad (banner) for the product, and then makes a purchase either by going directly to the advertiser\u2019s website or by doing an organic search separately. VTA is a valuable feature that can be used to measure the campaign performance more effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Offerslook View-Through Attribution feature allows you to get conversions based on impressions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">If you need to use the Impression Tracking and View-Through Attribution feature, please contact your account manager to get them for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Once the features enabled, you will be able to set the impression tracking link and integrate <strong>{impression_id} <\/strong>to get and track impressions and conversions generated by them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1112\" src=\"https:\/\/www.offerslook.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/\u56fe\u7247-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"832\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.offerslook.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/\u56fe\u7247-1.png 832w, https:\/\/www.offerslook.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/\u56fe\u7247-1-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/www.offerslook.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/\u56fe\u7247-1-768x397.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 832px) 100vw, 832px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Once Offerslook receives an impression from an affiliate, the unique <strong>Offerslook Impression ID<\/strong> is assigned to it.
