WSI Educates Business Owners on How to Use a Data-Driven Approach to Optimize Pay-Per-Click Marketing Campaigns

Toronto, Canada, July 02, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Making the right decisions about online marketing campaigns is based on having the right data and interpreting that data effectively. WSI, the world’s #1 digital marketing franchise, organized an online virtual training session yesterday entitled “Analytics Data and PPC Optimization to Achieve Meaningful Results: Using a Network of Tools and a Data-Driven Approach to Optimize PPC Marketing” featuring Neal Lappe and Chris Leone, WSI Digital Marketing Experts. The webinar educated attendees on how they can use the data available to them along with a network of tools to make online marketing decisions that produce success and a return on investment.

Neal Lappe, WSI Digital Marketing Expert and co-presenter at the webinar, says, “The real advantage of online marketing is that virtually everything can be measured, so you no longer need to rely on ‘faith-based’ marketing to achieve your goals. This presents a remarkable opportunity for businesses and marketing professionals worldwide to embrace the tools and technologies that will be the future of our marketplace. A data-driven approach to online marketing and PPC optimization is a three-step process that involves configuration of web analytics, relevant traffic building and campaign and website testing. During our presentation, my colleague Chris and I discussed this three-step process in more detail and shared how businesses can leverage tools that are available to them to achieve results.”
