Online marketers must (and now have the tools) to really understand and affect their online presence, both at the website and in social media. Webstats is analagous to a listening platform.
If the number of approximately 5,000 websites in 1994 is correct and we are now part of some 200 million-plus websites today, then we’ve experienced a 40,000-fold increase in the number of websites in 15 years.
Harvard Business Publishing
Total U.S. spending on online marketing per year will surpass $55 billion by 2014. This online spending is projected to represent 21 percent of domestic marketing dollars.
Forrester Research
The budget for search engine marketing is expected to surpass $15.4 billion in 2009, or more than 59 percent of all online advertising. This is projected to continue to increase at a compounded annual growth rate of 15 percent over the next five years.
Forrester Research
Evolution of Webstats
In the past, companies had two choices for statistics reports:
basic and free, usually from the Internet Service Provider, or
advanced and expensive
Background
In 2005, Google introduced Google Analytics, a free yet in-depth way to monitor site visitors. Features included:
Statistics on where visitors are coming from
When integrated with AdWords, Google’s advertising arm, information about landing page quality and conversions
An overview of high-level data via a dashboard or an in-depth analysis
Latest and Greatest
In 2008, GA launched an enterprise-class edition with the following features:
Advanced segmentation to analyze subsets of site visitors. Users then create filters to apply to current or historical data and do side-by-side comparisons
Editable custom reports, showing tailored information and metrics
Motion charts that depict data in multiple dimensions and over time
Revised account management dashboard, which simplifies navigation and displays key metrics upon log-in
Workflow
Impact on GA’s Competitors
These innovations have forced companies including Webtrends, Lyris and Unica NetTracker to reach for that ever-rising bar by adding features to their own offerings.
In August 2009, Webtrends released Version 9, which features:
Analytics 9, an overview of changes in key metrics and comparisons of performance
Story View, which automatically translates data into plain English that can be shared in e-mails, reports and presentations
Optimize, a self-serve testing platform
Social Measurement, for monitoring social media
Ad Director, efficient management of pay-per-click portfolio

Score analysis: to separate the “browsers” from the “buyers”
Marketing Warehouse: which collects and analyzes behavioral statistics
Visitor Intelligence: for deeper insight into site visitors’ preferences
A selective RSS overlay to match site activity with key feeds
The ability to generate URIs (uniform resource identifiers) and REST (representational state transfer) URLs to export data and embed it in applications and Excel spreadsheets
Pros of Webtrends
Client AND server-side tracking: Most providers support one or the other. WebTrends does both in an effort to capture the highest-quality data.
Large number of sophisticated built-in reports: After it processes your dataset, you have access to hundreds of reports covering all areas of your site from technical to marketing to sales.
Full control of your data: Assuming you use Webtrends’ software version (rather than the hosted version), all of your data is easily accessible and stored on your own servers, unlike Google Analytics.
Flexible devices: Webtrends uses only HTML, CSS and JavaScript, not Flash. This means it’s usable on devices that don’t support Flash, such as the iPhone. If JavaScript is turned off, it also automatically downgrades without losing any functionality.
Webtrends vs. Google Analytics:
Webtrends:
Webtrends looks to be focusing on larger companies that need detailed data, that can staff people who know the full Webtrends capabilities or can afford to train a staff on the program’s capabilities, and are concerned about data integrity.
Google Analytics:
Google seems aimed at smaller companies that cannot afford the start-up in either cash or time resources to learn a more complicated program like Webtrends and that do not need the more advanced data-mining tools offered by such programs.

Google Analytics’ latest innovation

Expanded engagement goals, tracking time on site and pages per visit
Advanced Table Filtering, which tailors metric conditions to identify optimized keywords and phrases
Custom Variables that classify interactions and behavior on sites
Enhanced monitoring of mobile sites and applications
Tailored alerts about significant data pattern changes
Custom Reports that focus on unique visitors
Ability to define 20 goals per profile
Webstats Blackbox – and many people like it that way
Best Practices for Leveraging Webstats
Be Intentional:
establish goals for using your Web Analytic Information and hold
your staff accountable to those goals. Create a specific plan for how
to meet your goals for using your Web Analytic Information.
Create a culture
among your staff that mandates innovation and seeks new ways to
use Web Analytics within your organization.
Involve your staff
in the creation of Web Analytic reports to ensure that all needs are
met and to ensure that no reports that are not being used are being
generated.
Make sure your staff is trained
on how to read the reports you generate with the Web Analytic
programs.
Know how to use the Software
to provide your staff with:
Basic Metric Reporting
Web Data Warehousing
Visitor Behavior Tracking
Customer Segmentation
Customer Lifecycle Analysis
Customer Behavior Analysis
Loyal Customer Identification
Empower your employees
Everyone who sees the company’s Web Analytics Information should
be tasked with identifying how the information can be used by them
for specific purposes.
Incorporate Web Analytic information
in the planning stages and in post implementation analysis of activity
or events relating to the company Web site.
Use your Web analytics to report on initiative and plan strategy.
Expect that the use of Web analytics for planning strategy rather
than just for reporting purposes will increase, as awareness is raised
and adoption increases.
