In Display & Video 360, conversions are counted using Floodlight activities associated with individual line items.
Select Floodlight activities to use to count conversions
-
Start by opening a line item, then scroll to the Conversion tracking section on the Line item details tab.
-
In the list of your advertiser's Floodlight activities, select one or more Floodlight activities to use to count conversions for the line item.
-
(Optional) To change what kinds of conversions are counted, click edit next to the Conversion counting row.
-
(Optional) To change the length of time a visitor has to convert, click on a Floodlight activity's post-click window or post-view window, then change the number of days. This value starts at zero days. A window of 0 counts events within 24 hours, a window of 1 counts events within 48 hours, a window of 2 within 72 hours, etc.
Read me if you use Campaign Manager 360Note: Changing the conversion window doesn't change the number of conversions that were counted prior to the change. It only affects how conversions are counted from that point onward based on the flight dates.
If you use Campaign Manager 360, Floodlight activities will be constrained to the shorter conversion window, between what is set in your Floodlight activities in Campaign Manager 360 and what is set in Display & Video 360. For instance,
- If your window in Display & Video 360 is shorter than the Floodlight activity's conversion window in Campaign Manager 360, the effective window (the one that is used) will be the shorter Display & Video 360 window.
- If your Floodlight activity's conversion window in Campaign Manager 360 is shorter than the window in Display & Video 360, the effective window will be the shorter Campaign Manager 360 window.

Click Save once you're done.
