Clicktracks Dinner And Interview
 By
Lee Odden
One vendor you're sure to see at virtually every SES and Pubcon conference is
web analytics company, ClickTracks.
I had the pleasure of speaking at a few DMA conferences at the same time as ClickTracks
founder John Marshall and found him to be one of the most enthusiastic evangelists
for web analytics in the industry. On top of that he's really a very good guy.
John and his VP of Marketing, Michael Stebbins took out a few ClickTracks' freinds
for dinner on Tuesday night and it proved to be some of the best conversation.
I cannot emphasize enough, the importance of networking after the daytime sessions
are over.
Here's Mike McDonald of WebProNews, Dan Thies of SEO Research Labs, Greg Jarboe
of SEO PR and Michael Stebbins from ClickTracks. Missing from the photo is one
of Dan's protoges, the amazing Shirley Tan. Check out my other
photos of the Las Vegas Pubcon here.
On Wed I found John Marshall at the ClickTracks booth evangelizing their click
fraud tools to an attentive group of conference attendees. After that, he was
nice enough to give this
little interview about Pubcon. I hope Brett sees this because it's great feedback
about the conference.
I will be posting several other short interviews after my session today about
public relations and social media. Just watch my YouTube
Channel.
