RSS, Analytics, and You
RSS is a great way to market to your web site to visitors. Easier than email and highly efficient, RSS feeds keep visitors up to date on any sales, white papers, or other information as you add it to your site. Unlike email marketing, you don't have to wrestle with spam verification emails. Even better, RSS subscribers can opt-in and opt-out by themselves at any time, depending on their interests and the content of the feeds.

RSS feeds represent a rich market of potential revenue for web sites across many industries, and WebTrends Analytics can help you leverage that market to your business advantage. Whether you currently use WebTrends Analytics or simply want to learn more about RSS, our team of business and technical experts can help you make the most of RSS tracking.

Aprimo Marketing Summit Recap
by Scott Roth

At the end of January, WebTrends was pleased to be the platinum sponsor of Aprimo's annual Marketing Summit in Miami, FL. The event was attended by a who's who list of some of the largest and most successful marketing organizations across the globe. While at the show, WebTrends was there to educate the attendees on how to merge the online visitor information that we deliver with the offline information that Aprimo provides. Everyone we talked to at the show was extremely excited about the possibility of finally seeing both online and offline information all together in one place!

Announcing the WebTrends
Certified Analytics Training Program


WebTrends is pleased to announce the new Certified Analytics Training Program, launched in January to provide current users and partners with the skills they need to implement, configure, and customize WebTrends Analytics. The training also covers best practices to derive the most business value from WebTrends solutions.

The intensive four-day course covers many aspects of WebTrends Analytics, including: data collection methods, tagging strategies, and standard and custom reports creation. The class is followed by a comprehensive three hour exam that tests participants' knowledge as well as their ability to configure solutions within the WebTrends interface.

"I am relatively new to web analytics and to the WebTrends product, but by the end of the week, I felt extremely comfortable with the tool and confident that I could deploy it in real-world situations. There was a lot of information to digest and it wasn't always easy, but having the certification has already paid for itself… I'm confident that getting a WebTrends certification will prove to have been a smart career move," Aaron Lovelace, Ascentium.

Whether you're a current user hoping to maximize the value of WebTrends Analytics or a partner seeking to demonstrate your WebTrends credibility and expertise, certification will help you achieve those goals.

WebTrends offers certification classes every quarter.
