Hi All,

I work for a search marketing agency and we're currently looking to get our hands on a bid management/analytics package.

we have had a couple of demos from the like of DC-Storm and Omniture and both have gone fairly well. However i was wondering if you guys know of any good packages that i havent discovered yet.

Cheers

There are many different companies in the analytics business. Do you work primarily with Fortune 500/1000 type companies or small ones?

Analytics is so complex we can all use all the help we can get. smile If you're planning to use the data to manage PPC advertising be sure to read up on how tracking actually works.

I have some threads about that subject and links to other sites where it is being discussed. The majority of sales conversions driven by PPC ads are not attributed to the advertising.
