Web Analytics & Measuring Success Overview
How do you know if you've been successful with search engines? You can check your "rank" at search engines for particular keywords, analyze log files to see the actual terms people used to reach your web site or make the ultimate jump and "close the loop" by measuring sales conversions and return-on-investment (ROI). This panel explores ways to measure success and what statistics you should really care about.

Balancing Organic & Paid Listings
If you get plenty of "free" listings, there's no need to go the paid route, right? Wrong -- what happens if a change in how search engines rank pages leaves you out of the top results? Well, if you buy your way in, there's no need to worry about the free results! Wrong again. Why not gain free traffic if you're relevant? This session explores issues like these and how to get the balance right between free and paid campaigns.
