A recent survey of 684 b-to-b marketers revealed marketing budgets are cutting print dollars (45.3% are looking at print spending cuts) and boosting online dollars (48.5% are increasing online spending). Yes, in these difficult times, money is flowing to the online world. That's great! But it's not the whole story. [...]

From technobabble to two-way interaction: the webolution
By Neil Davey, MyCustomer.com
[...] Jim Sterne, an author and speaker on internet marketing and web analytics, and president of the Web Analytics Association, believes that this ‘brochureware’, whilst very basic, was not without value. “People could reach out any time they wanted 24/7, there was zero distribution cost, people could get what they wanted when they wanted it and it shortened the sales cycle,” he explains. “In other words, people would do their research online before they talked to the salesperson. Even though it was brochureware, it was fine.” [...]

The Six Pixels of Separation - Web Analytics with Jim Sterne
Welcome to episode #90 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. I had the distinct please of finally meeting Jim Sterne in person. He was in town to give a keynote for the Web Analytics Association and eMetrics Breakfast Meeting Series in Montreal. We had a chance to discuss the state of the Web the night before at dinner. Right after Jim spoke, I hopped over to the InfoPresse full-day event on online social networks, where I spent some time with Edelman Digital’s Rick Murray (look for that conversation in the next episode of Six Pixels of Separation). It was a full-on week with lots of the events and thoughts posted to the Blog (so, check those out as well). There was also an "easter egg" at the end of last week's episode (#89), so take a listen to find out who gets what. Enjoy the conversation...

Analytics Notes: What? Web Analytics is Dead?
Well, not exactly. I attended Jim Sterne�s presentation this morning here in Montreal. First, it was just great to see so many people (over 60) present, and interested in Web Analytics. Very frankly, I started preaching about WA here 6 years ago, and did not get much attention then. This morning was a refreshing sign of how much our field has grown here in both interest and project sophistication.

Micro Marketing - Why Attend eMetrics
My management asked me to justify the expense of attending the eMetrics Optimization Summit in San Francisco this summer. It’s a reasonable request. My job at Microsoft is account management for customers of adCenter’s search engine advertising. In other words, I work for a search engine. We don’t have access to our clients’ web analytics data. Where’s the return on investment for a web analytics conference?

MarketingNPV: Web Analytics and the March Toward Better Measurement
By Jim Sterne
The World Wide Web has generated enough tracking, testing, and merchandising tools to keep an analyst happily traipsing through data for decades. But marketers are starting to realize that there’s more here than meets the mouse. As the analytics have evolved, so has our ability to measure the effectiveness of Web programs.
[...]
As Web analytics grow more sophisticated, so do marketers’ ability to correlate online and offline activities. A postcard can drive traffic to a specific Web site page, verifying its effectiveness. An online offer can result in a printed coupon that’s only good in the physical store. Through these activities, the onetime fantasy of total customer behavior analysis is a half-step closer to reality.

Ten Things to Know About Measuring Social Media
If you believe that social media is all about your customers being able to talk to each other online, then it’s time to go back and read the Cluetrain Manifesto from 1999. The basic premise is that the marketplace is a conversation. That does not mean that social media is a new tool to push your message out there. It’s a new tool to help you converse. Companies must listen or die.
Only one problem. Those who hold the keys to the kingdom (read: budget) want to know the ROI. They want to know how you’re going to measure this new-fangled thing. Here’s what you need to know in order to hold your own in those conversations.
