Top 15 Articles Of 2008
Here's what you enjoyed the most, during 2008.
- Multichannel Forensics, PPC, SEO, and Online Marketing Example. A huge surprise. Online marketers have been least likely to apply Multichannel Forensics to their data (largely because they are tied to Google Analytics), but voraciously consumed this article.
- My Keynote Address At The Catalog Conference. Enough said.
- The Direct Marketing Customer Continuum. This article led to the development of the Organic / Social / Algorithm / Advertising / Begging model that has become so popular.

- Multichannel Forensics: An E-Mail Example. The e-mail marketing community is unique.

The battle reminds me of direct vs. brand marketing arguments of the 1990s.

- It's Here! Hillstrom's Multichannel Secrets. The dumbest thing I did in 2008 --- giving away free digital preview copies of a book before selling the book. I gave away more copies than I sold. Pundits, pundits, PUNDITS! They tell you what to do, without any accountability for actual results. Here's a hint: Don't give away content you want to sell, no matter what credible people tell you.
- Multichannel Forensics: The Building Blocks. The article outlines the basics in a typical Multichannel Forensics project.
