  July 01, 2008 at 15:36 DebInDenver says what kind of solutions would our group come up with. Case studies would be helpful.

  July 01, 2008 at 15:40 MackCollier says yep there's a lot of potential if cos look at their marketing in a new way!

  July 01, 2008 at 15:43 DebInDenver says I'll put it out there tomorrow night. I can't do it tonight.

  July 01, 2008 at 15:47 MackCollier says Amadou it seems that if nothing else, they aren't monitoring the blogosphere, and I wonder if they are even monitoring their website traffic

  July 01, 2008 at 15:47 MackCollier says MP's newsletter alone should have given the site a noticible traffic spike, I would want to know why that happened...
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 15:59 AmberCadabra that assumes someone is watching the traffic.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 16:11 MackCollier says right Amber, but again, this all happened weeks ago. Even if they were only monitoring occasionally, they would have found it by now

  July 01, 2008 at 16:12 DebInDenver says I just think some companies are totally out to lunch. We have so many companies here not even in the game.

  July 01, 2008 at 16:14 Stinky says for awhile I helped maintain my firm's website (not my job, I was just the only person who knew how)
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 16:14 Stinky and I mentioned checking referrers and traffic, and they were like "WOW, you can DO that?!!"
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 16:15 AmberCadabra yeah, stinky, that's exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about. I'm baffled by the # of cos that just don't have the first clue.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 16:18 Stinky it's just so foolish to spend money on marketing and not even check to see if it's working.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 16:20 AmberCadabra It is indeed, but it happens ALL the time.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 17:05 onepinktee hell, forget monitoring their website traffic, are they even monitoring their info email?
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 20:49 Teeg wonders if they even maintain their own site. It looks fairly generic, maybe a "we have to have a site" setup?
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 20:50 Teeg If so, there may be no thought of e-mails or tracking or anything really having to do with the web. It's *just* a place for another ad.
• 
  July 01, 2008 at 20:51 DebInDenver says I am with Amber this kind of thing happens all the time.

  July 01, 2008 at 21:41 AbleReach thinks there is still a huge potential for education in this area. Good heads-up article, Mark.
