I came across this site, which allows you to compare websites and even research which sites are benefiting the most from keyword phrases of interest.

Visit the site

There are several site comparison offerings out there. Which one might be the most dependable? I do not know. However apart from basic site comparison functionality, Compete offer a new “Search Analytics” tool, which can help you understand which sites are drawing the most traffic from each keyword phrase and how important different phrases are to each site generating high quality traffic.

In the illustration you will see that the keyword “marketing” is attracting a lot of traffic to managementhelp.org. Interestingly the German portal Marketing-Boerse.de is placed at #12, and the google.de as #19 (why that is – I have no idea).

Poll result: Marketing challenge 2007

Marketing challenge 2007
What is your biggest marketing challenge in 2007?
Aligning sales and marketing 5%
Increasing online competence in marketing department 11%
Implementing marketing metrics and ROI 16%
Lead acquisition 16%
Sustain and build customer loyalty 37%
Increase customer experience 16%

Poll conducted by Customaxi on behalf of "Marketingboss".
Poll closed on January 24th. 2007.



Michael Leander Nielsen comments:

I am puzzled and relieved. Only 5% see the alignment of sales and marketing as a challenge. Is that because the voters already have implemented a tight alignment, or because it is not a priority? My guess is the latter. Which of course is a shame.
But I - for one - am glad that 37% plan to focus on building customer loyalty, improving customer loyalty. And since increasing the customer experience often also directly supports a customer loyalty focus, I guess it is fair to say that more than half of the CMO's surveyed find that customer loyalty is the #1 focus in 2007.

In a future article I will talk about the average CMO's reluctancy to focus on Marketing ROI. The fact that only 16% find this area to be important is neither surprising nor uncommon.
