You perform multiple searches on multiple devices over multiple days; where everything you see and experience, in the SERPs and beyond, influences your brand preference and purchase decisions.
Traditional funnel analysis and marketing models do a poor job of measuring and managing this ecosystem.

SearchLove San Diego 2018 | Rand Fishkin | Demand Creation - How Marketers Ca...Distilled
Digital marketers are technical, creative, and data-driven. Our skills are in high demand because we can deliver exceptional ROI. But all of us have, in our careers, faced the challenge of trying to market when the demand just doesn't exist or competing for the scraps Google, Facebook, and our competition have left to "the little guys." Serving demand is the bread and butter of a web marketer, but there is another way - demand creation.
For the truly new spaces and those so competitive as to be barely-ROI-positive, it's a strategy worthy of investment. In this presentation, Rand will walk through ways to use the skills we have in a new way - to create demand for our products rather than attracting those already likely to buy.

In-silico study of ToxCast GPCR assays by quantitative structure-activity rel...Kamel Mansouri
The EPA tested several thousand chemicals in 700 toxicity-related in-vitro HTS bioassays through the ToxCast and Tox21 projects. However, the chemical space of interest for environmental exposure is much wider than this set of chemicals. Thus, there is a need to fill data gaps with in-silico methods, and quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) are a cost effective approach to predict biological activity. The overall goal of this project was to use QSAR predictions to fill the data gaps in a larger environmental database of ~30K structures. The specific aim of the current work was to build QSAR models for multiple ToxCast assays using a subset of 1800 chemicals tested in 18 G-Protein Coupled Receptor (GPCR) assays. These assays are part of the aminergic category which was among the most active within the biochemical assays. Using PLSDA for the human histamine H1 GPCR assay, the classification accuracy reached 94% with a non-error rate of 89% in fitting and 80% in 5-fold CV, with only 2 latent variables. These results demonstrate the ability of QSAR models to predict bioactivity.

We've finally entered the world of HAL, where voice activated services like Siri, Cortana and Alexa attempt to cater to our needs. Within a few decades, synthetic "brains" will be able to execute 100 trillion instructions per second--an activity level that rivals the human brain. That brings the prospect of helpful servants like Cerebro and Lieutenant Commander Data--or perhaps malevolent entities like Brainiac and Skynet. Our panelists will discuss the A.I. capabilities soon to arrive and the opportunities and threats they will bring to humanity.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

Search Engine Marketing - Competitor and Keyword researchETMARK ACADEMY
Over 2 Trillion searches are made per day in Google search, which means there are more than 2 Trillion visits happening across the websites of the world wide web.
People search various questions, phrases or words. But some words and phrases are searched
more often than others.
For example, the words, ‘running shoes’ are searched more often than ‘best road running
shoes for men’
These words or phrases which people use to search on Google are called Keywords.
Some keywords are searched more often than others. Number of times a keyword is searched
for in a month is called keyword volume.
Some keywords have more relevant results than others. For the phrase “running shoes” we
get more than 80M relevant results, whereas for “best road running shoes for men” we get
only 8.
The former keyword ‘running shoes’ has way more competition from popular websites to
new and small blogs, whereas the latter keyword doesn’t have that much competition. This
search competition for a keyword is called search difficulty of a keyword or keyword
difficulty.
In other words, if the keyword difficulty is ‘low’ or ‘easy’, there won’t be any competition
and if you target such keywords on your site, you can easily rank on the front page of Google.
Some keywords are searched for, just to know or to learn some information about something,
that’s their search intention. For example, “What shoe size should I choose?” or “How to pick
the right shoe size?”
These keywords which are searched just to know about stuff are called informational
keywords. Typically people who are searching this type of keywords are top of a Conversion
funnel.
Conversion funnel is the journey that search visitors go through on their way to an email
subscription or a premium subscription to the services you offer or a purchase of products
you sell or recommend using your referral link.
For some buyers, research is the most important part when they have to buy a product.
Depending on that, their journey either widens or narrows down. These types of buyers are
Researchers and they spend more time with informational keywords.
Conversion is the action you want from your search visitors. Number of conversions that you
get for every 100 search visitors is called Conversion rate.
People who are at different stages of a conversion funnel use different types of keywords.
