With a properly connected Google AdWords account sending data into Google Analytics, establishing ROI for e-commerce websites is a breeze! Simply navigate to the AdWords clicks report, send a report with the provided ROI number and you are golden, right? Hold up! You are having a case of TBAGD (tool blindness and Google dependence), and you are not alone. I had a wicked case of TBAGD once, but now I have kicked the habit and formed a support group. Our first meeting is this Saturday. Attendees will learn how to calculate the true ROI for their paid media activities, understand important data that needs to be collected outside of Google Analytics, and where to find the goods. The result? Effective end-to-end measurement and a cure for TBAG. An informal poll shows that 9 out of 10 executives recommend TBAGD support to their analysts and marketing folks, with the 10th simply asking “What is the Internet?” Jeff Sauer
