However, what really counts when it comes to website traffic is not numbers alone - the quality of this traffic is what's important.

Conversion Attribution

When an advertiser's conversion pixel loads, ExactDrive's online advertising platform determines if that pixel load can be associated with a user, and if so, whether the user has converted in response to having previously viewed or clicked one of the advertiser's creatives.
