About Internet Broadcasting
• Leading provider of Web sites, content and advertising revenue solutions to the world’s largest and most successful media companies – Partners include Hearst-Argyle, Post-Newsweek, McGraw-Hill,
Cox Television, Meredith Broadcasting, Telemundo and CNN
• Ad network of 500+ local media properties– 40-50mm monthly UVs, 93% U.S. market reach
• Worked with WebTrends for 5 years– Began with ’04 Olympics– Rolled out WebTrends across network in ’06
![Page 7: Webtrends Data Access And Integration](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54bd469c4a7959ae538b45a0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The “DAP” Dilemma
• Distributed Ad Products (DAP) – Premium paid links – “Links We Like”– Strategic advertisers– IB controls & customizes the content– Runs on media sites across the U.S.
• Business issue– Limited click data via DART– Difficult to extract and interpret reports– Content selected by gut instinct– Impossible to price the value of the
product
![Page 8: Webtrends Data Access And Integration](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54bd469c4a7959ae538b45a0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Instant Insights
• Leveraged WebTrends custom reporting– Impressions tracked using existing
tag– Also began tracking click-throughs– Created click-through reports using
custom reports and calculated measures
– Automated translation file uploaded daily to translate values from our CMS
• Instant insights– Clicks and CTR for:
• Advertiser• Link title• Link position• Site, section, page
![Page 9: Webtrends Data Access And Integration](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54bd469c4a7959ae538b45a0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Data Integration: Why We Did It
• Limitations of the UI– Tons of great data, but difficult to
derive deep insights– Content editor was “cherry picking”
just the top performing links
• Needed to connect to external cost per click data
• Wanted the data to end up in Excel for analysis
![Page 10: Webtrends Data Access And Integration](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54bd469c4a7959ae538b45a0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Data Integration: What We Did
• Import data from WebTrends using variety of automated tools– Making the transition from manual exports, to scheduled reports, to
APIs
• Set up automated script:– Parse the WebTrends data– Marry it to external metrics– Organize in a way more relevant to editor
![Page 11: Webtrends Data Access And Integration](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54bd469c4a7959ae538b45a0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Data Integration: The Results
• Click-through and revenue generation doubled within a month
• Vastly outperformed Google AdSense• Plateau occurred once editor ran out of
obvious insights
• Down economy has presented an ongoing challenge with click-through conversion
• Continue to outperform AdSense
• New optimization reports have greatly improved workflow, saving hours of work 9/

Future Plans
• Currently producing daily corporate scorecard leveraging WebTrends APIs– Populating key WebTrends metrics in to IB
data archive– Automatically pulling data out of archive in
to report
• Next steps with DAP tracking– Integrate data in to rules based engine
leveraging APIs– Completely automated optimization and
performance reporting

Lessons Learned
• Maximize custom report & calculated measured capabilities• Don’t try to solve every reporting need in the UI• Investment in APIs integration has a rapid payoff

CRM Integration
• Data augmentation and enrichment of web behavior at the VISITOR level
• Enable actionability around contact/lead opportunities for sales and/or marketing
• Provide insight into other areas of focus (interest or concern) that a lead or contact may have– X-sell/up-sell opportunities– Support/Cust Service issues
• Acquistion is only part of the puzzle, focus on the 'understand, maintain & grow' areas of the customer relationship.
