Leading Hosted Analytics Solution Drives Online Intelligence for Consumer Media Guide Giant

PORTLAND, Ore. -- WebTrends Inc., a market leader for web analytics and Marketing Performance Management solutions, today announced that Consumer Source Inc. will utilize WebTrends On Demand([TM]) hosted solution. Consumer Source, the nation's largest publisher and distributor of free print and online consumer guides, has selected the leading hosted analytics solution from WebTrends to measure and improve its online marketing initiatives by gaining insight on unique visitor segments and increasing web site conversions. Ultimately, this improved optimization will maximize the value of relationships between Consumer Source and its affiliate business customers.

"Our family of sites receives more than 90 million visitors annually," said Mike Child, chief technology officer, Consumer Source Inc. "And with an expansive national network that varies both demographically and geographically, a solution that enabled segmentation and true customer lifecycle management was essential. WebTrends offers the right mix of technology, services and expertise in online marketing domains to help us better connect with our customers."

By employing WebTrends On Demand, Consumer Source will be in a position to help manage and grow the value of its relationships with its current advertising customers -- landlords, apartment property managers, real estate agents, new home developers and automobile dealers. For example, WebTrends On Demand will identify whether the site visitor is a person looking to rent an apartment or post an available property for rent. By distinguishing between the business customers and consumer groups and segmenting the related data, Consumer Source can drive more profitable relationships between the two audiences.

Consumer Source will also leverage WebTrends On Demand to evaluate the effectiveness of search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM) campaigns such as organic keywords compared to paid media, examining traffic, landing page effectiveness and conversion rates by keyword phrase and position. Access to comprehensive marketing metrics will help Consumer Source evaluate and improve its partnerships with leading online companies like Google, Yahoo! and Advertising.com.

"The beauty of WebTrends is that not only can we better acquire and convert site visitors, but we can also provide valuable market insights to our advertising customers to help them improve their results," continued Child.

Benefits Consumer Source advertising customers receive from WebTrends include precise insight into return-on-investment, as well as valuable Designated Market Area (DMA) information, such as the most successful property, dealer and advertisement characteristics by region.

"We are extremely excited to partner with Consumer Source to optimize its online marketing initiatives," said Greg Drew, CEO and president, WebTrends. "Many leading media companies rely on the comprehensive analytics and visitor-level insights provided by WebTrends Analytics On Demand to achieve their objectives with both consumers and their business partners."
