In the offline world, marketers spend millions of dollars researching their audiences, trying to understand how consumers behave. Ironically, in the virtual world, the rich audience information on web servers is largely ignored. Though incomprehensible when raw, these website statistics when analyzed can provide deep insights and help make intelligent business decisions leading to a big boost in Return on Investment (ROI).

Recent market studies have projected that the year 2005 will see online marketing & advertising spends reach a substantial USD 9.9 billion, an increase of more than 15% over 2004. In spite of this emerging scenario, it has been observed that a whopping 89% of these online marketers do not measure their ROI at all. (Source – Blackfrairs Communications).
