“There has always been a lot of data, but now there is actionable data”
In this interview, filmed at the eMetrics Marketing Optimization Summit San Francisco 2011, Daniel Waisberg talks to Phillip Klien, Co-founder of Predicta, an Online Marketing agency, and of BTbuckets, a free segmentations and personalization tool. Phillip shares with us some of the highlights of the show, starting by how data-driven decision making has become mainstream.
When asked how he would optimize his own website, Phillip talks about making websites more relevant to users, using behavioral data to customize visitor experience, making a really good first impression. He advises us to start simple, by checking keywords bringing traffic to the website (which shows visitor intent) and trying to optimize the landing page to be more engaging.
Phillip shares his thoughts on how the analytics industry is moving forward, which starts by making data quality better. He also talks about how testing can drive innovation by understanding how visitor behave and what works best for them.
Last, Phillip talks about his newest project, SiteApps.com , a marketplace for website apps.
