If you sell online or offer something online through an ad, you need to understand your conversition rate…which of course gets back to metrics and eyeball glazing. There are good benchmarks in this article to use as guideposts. Benchmarking an Average Conversion Rate
The reason, I think, that marketers don't get the information they need is that many of the metrics tools (not just web metrics) haven't been easy to use and have been the domain of IT for a long time. Technolgies need to allow marketers to easily cruise through data and be able to find the…

This has far reaching implications. I think the major telcos of the world will be watching BT and seeing how successful the endeavour is. I hope that Canada could soon take that kind of leadership. But with our multi-company system, this kind of wholesale network rebuild is sadly unlikely. BT will be one of the…
