A Real-Life Example

Report Findings
You check the report and notice:
95.8% of Conversions happen within 0-15 seconds
A small percentage occurs between 15-30 seconds
Almost no Conversions after 30 seconds
Possible Insights
This pattern might indicate:
Potential coupon poaching if Conversions are happening too quickly
Need to investigate Partners with unusually fast Conversion times
Opportunity to set appropriate minimum and maximum Conversion times in your Offer settings
Recommended Actions
Based on this data, you might decide to:
Review your Offer settings
Investigate Partners with suspicious conversion patterns
Set appropriate Conversion time rules in your Offer settings

This example shows how analyzing Conversion time patterns can help you spot potential fraud and improve your Offer settings.

By noticing that most Conversions happen very quickly and investigating unusual patterns, you can protect your program from coupon poaching while setting more effective Conversion time rules.

Good To Know
This report is a valuable fraud prevention tool and provides an extra layer of protection for your campaigns. However, acceptable conversion times vary significantly based on your business model, market, and type of offer.

Use this data to inform your decisions, but remember that what's considered "suspicious" in one vertical might be normal in another. Always consider your specific business context when setting minimum and maximum conversion times in your offer settings.

Best Practices

Keep an eye on how long it takes for Conversions to happen by checking these patterns regularly. Compare these patterns across your different Offers and Partners to spot what works best.

Use what you learn to adjust your Offer settings, and remember to think about your business type and how users typically make purchases when you're looking at this data.
