About the SurveyFrom January 21, 2010 to February 12, 2010, The Web Analytics Association presented a survey to web analytics end-users who characterized their company’s marketing as either business-to-business or a combination of business-to-business and business-to-consumer. They were asked to participate through web analytics-related websites, emails and events.
A total of 761 web analytics users from the around the world participated in the survey. Respon-dents were asked approximately 25 questions about their web analytics progress and plans in 2010, their effectiveness at using web analytics to inform online and offline business activities, as well job title, business, and annual revenue.
Executive SummaryThe survey delved into the current state of web analytics in business-to business organizations, and asked participants questions such as:
Where does web analytics live in your organization?• Which online channels are you currently measuring?• What are the most important KPIs for your company, and have they changed over the last • two years?How do you integrate data from various online channels?• How much will your 2010 online analysis budget change over 2009?• What are the staffing plans for your online analysis department in 2010?• Do you plan to increase, maintain, or decrease your level of customer data privacy oversight?•
Findings include:Investments in Web Analytics are Increasing: • Just over 56.1% of organizations surveyed said they will increase their online analysis over 2009. Only 2.7% said they would be decreasing their budgets. The rest (41.3%) said spending would remain unchanged.OrganizationsAreConfidentAboutOnlineMeasurement:• Nearly 43% of those surveyed said they’re effective when it comes to using web analytics data to inform online business activities. And 7.1% described themselves as very effective. Web Analytics Needs a Good Home: • Most respondents (69%) said the marketing department is where web analytics lives, very few (2%) said they outsource web analytics. The organizations with the most effective use of online analytics say that web analytics lives in marketing (63%) or analytics centers of excellence (23%)—and none of them outsource.
Before we examine the key findings of the survey, let’s take a look at the profile of our participants: their job title, business, sales cycle, and company revenue.

Free web analytics tools lead the pack by a clear margin with nearly 74%, followed by paid analytics tools (51.1%). Onsite surveys (33.1%), feedback forms (28.7%), and offsite surveys (20%) are also very popular, as are site performance monitoring (26.7%) and third-party services such as Hitwise and Comscore (20.2%).

When we look at the organizations who say they are effective at using web analytics data to inform online business decisions, they also are more likely to use free analytics tools—78.1% do so. However, those who are very effective (67.6%) are more likely to use paid web analytics tools. They’re also more likely to use onsite surveys (50%).

Just 16.9% indicated that they’re ineffective when it comes to using web analytics to inform online business activities, and 6.7% said that they’re very ineffective.

What are the most important KPIs for your company? (choose three)
Finding the right KPIs can be a challenge for many organizations. While we see that sales was chosen as the first KPI by the most survey responders (127), it was chosen by only 43 as the second and 45 as the third most important KPI (215 total responses). Visitors ranked highly as the first (93), second (66) and third (74) most important KPI, receiving the most responses (246) overall as well. Leads were chosen by 223 survey responders as a top KPI.

How do you integrate data from various online channels? (check all that apply)
When asked how they integrate data from various online channels, more than half (54%) said they use Excel spreadsheet integration, and 29% said they use periodic extract, transform and load (ETL) to integrate data. Survey respondents also indicated that 23.2% have fully integrated data streams. About 12.6% have RSS feeds between databases, and 8.7% use PowerPoint integration. Believe it or not, 8% are still relying on manual or “sneaker net” systems in order to get information across.
When we look at organizations that say they are very effective at using web analytics data to inform online business activities, it comes as no surprise that nearly twice as many as compared to the general population—45.5%—say they are using fully integrated data streams.

Nearly 22% said it would go up 10 to 19%. All together, only 2.7% said they’d be decreasing their budget by any amount, and 41.3% said budgets would remain the same from 2009 to 2010.

Survey Results: 2010 Outlook
Do you plan to decrease, maintain, or increase your budget for each of these tools?
Looking at investment in individual tools, we see the highest number (198) of respondents indicating an increase in budget for conversion optimization, and website performance optimization is also a priority—177 said they’d increase budget, and 202 would maintain it. Customer segmentation, advertising optimization, traffic, and page view monitoring are high on the list as well.
It’s interesting to notice how many said predictive analytics (152), multivariate testing (138), cross-channel metrics (135) and behavioral targeting (132) were not applicable to them.

What are the staffing plans for your online analysis department in 2010?
When it comes to investing in online analysis, we see that 28% plan to increase their staffing levels, and 69% intend to keep them the same. Only 3% plan to decrease their staff levels. When we look at organizations that say they are either effective or very effective at using web analytics data to inform online business activities, 37.3% say they plan to increase staffing levels.
As for customer data privacy, very few survey responders (1%) plan to decrease their oversight. In fact, 16% plan to increase it and 83% intend to keep oversight at current levels. Large organizations intend to increase it more than smaller ones. Looking just at companies with revenue of more than $1 billion, 21.6% plan to increase it, and 78.4% plan to maintain it.

2010 Web Analytics Progress and Plans in BtoB Organizations: Survey Report page 24
Key Findings
We surveyed over 700 professionals in the web analytics industry to find out what their progress and plans are in 2010:
• Where does web analytics live in their organization?• What channels are they currently measuring?• What are their most important KPIs, and how have they changed?• How effectively does web analytics data inform online and offline business activities?
From the results of our survey, we gained insight into web analytics in business-to-business organizations in 2010.
1. Investments in Web Analytics are Increasing: Just over 56.1% of organizations surveyed said they will increase their online analysis over 2009. Only 2.7% said they would be decreasing their budgets. The rest (41.3%) said spending would remain unchanged. Most of the organizations plan to increase or maintain their investment in tools that optimize conversion and website performance as well.
