TLDR Version: The more games you give away, and the more expensive those games are, the faster you level up.
(I'm lazy so I'll let someone else explain bundled games.)

The value that actually counts for levelling up is reduced if the games given away were bundled or discounted at 85% or greater at any time before the start of the giveaway. So the first guy in your example gave away more games that were new or simply unbundled.

Forever discounted. Or people would just wait a few weeks.

It's bundled for good. You can check from this list all the games that have reduced value: http://www.steamgifts.com/bundle-games

Give away games to level up (real value = experience), but only if you can afford it. There's no reason to feel like you need to giveaway games if you can't afford it.

Any game that is bundled or have received over 85% discount on sale gets only 15% value add to your cv, so if you gift a 100$ bundled game you get 15$ CV added.
If you gift a non-bundled game you get full value so start giving them away so you can level up faster.

The cutoff point is 95%, but it's enough for it to be discounted at 95% anywhere in the world compared to US prices. With the free-fall the Russian Ruble has seen, it's enough for the game to be discounted ~85% (heck, might be less these days) for it to be considered bundled. That's why it's good for your CV if a game gets its first heavy discount on an "alternative" source that does not sell to Russia with Russian prices, like say Wingamestore. It can get a 94% discount there and the game will still not get on the bundle list.

check the game here before making a GA to see its bundled or not

I still stand by my words and 3 GA's for fallout 4 will solve all your issues :-) You will get to LVL5 I guess.

Bundling can be retroactive so to proactively counter that use enhanced steam or steamdb and look at russia or india's prices. If their DC value is about 95% of US value then consider it bundled. This sale a couple of 80% sales were bundled thanks to russian pricing.
