“Never underestimate the laziness of buyers.”. That was the advice a mentor gave me. He was someone I trusted, respected, and would take all of his suggestions and put them into play. Yet this advice was very offending to me because I’ve never considered my buyers or my clients as lazy people. No, they’re hardworking, they’re really smart, and they care about what they’re doing.

Traffic attribution identifies which sources drive visitors to a web property. And it’s impossible to credit a conversion to the correct source without first knowing how a visitor got to a website. In other words, the foundation of conversion attribution is traffic attribution. Simple as it may sound, attributing a session to its traffic source can be tricky, even impossible.

I read an article from a very large consulting company entitled, “Have you made it safe to fail?” Frankly, it’s social psycho-babble. It’s the equivalent of saying, “everyone gets a trophy, regardless of whether they win or lose.” The article will draw eyeballs, but I think they miss the point, consequently much of the value around failure.

They try to stake out their own marketing white space. While that’s a good idea, you also want to be exactly where your competitors are.
