Senior Analyst, will be the guest speaker. The webinar follows on the heels of the October 2009 published Forrester report on attribution, authored by Ms. Riley: The Forrester WaveTM: Interactive Attribution, Q4 2009 (http://www.clearsaleing.com/attributionwave/).

Adam Goldberg, ClearSaleing co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer, will join Ms. Riley on the webinar, scheduled for 1 PM EST/10 AM PST, and broadcast in conjunction with Incisive Media, producer of Search Engine Strategies Conference & Expo, and publisher of SearchEngineWatch.com and ClickZ.com.

"It's time to bury the last-click approach to analyzing ROI in search marketing," Goldberg said. "ClearSaleing is proving that true ROI analysis goes far beyond the last click, and takes into account all the touch points along the consumer's purchase path."

During the webinar, Ms. Riley will give an overview on the concept of attribution, explain why it is important to understand, and will discuss attribution modeling options, such as technology applications and consulting services, along with marketing activities that can be tracked, such as all ad sources, social media, back office and offline conversions.

"The attribution management webinar will be a great educational resource for all of us either working with, or writing about, best practices in online campaign management and ROI analysis," said Goldberg, who will be presenting case studies on attribution during the webinar.

SES Chicago Search Panel At the Search Engine Strategies Conference, December 7-11 in Chicago, ClearSaleing's Adam Goldberg will be a speaker in the Analytics, Conversion & Attribution Track panel titled: Why Does Search Get all the Credit? The panel is scheduled for Monday, December 7, from 4:30 to 5:30 PM. Goldberg will demonstrate, showing actual purchase paths from ClearSaleing's application, that conversions often start with a non-search ad and why search is often the 'closer.' He will also examine the influence of branded versus non-branded terms and explain how non-branded terms should be factored in to purchase path and ROI analysis. Mike McDerment, CEO & Co-founder, FreshBooks, is moderating the panel. Other speakers are Bill Hunt, President, Back Azimuth Consulting; Ron Belanger, SES Advisory Board & Vice President of Worldwide Agency Sales, Omniture; Andrew Wheeler, Managing Director, iProspect Chicago, and Kristin Clark, Director, Media and Market Planning, Broadview Security.
