Global Trends in Search Marketing
In this session David will discuss the adoption of search marketing in Australia and put that activity into context with other markets Google is expanding into. Furthermore, he will talk about the requirement for search to be localised and the various techniques that can be used. The presentation will also include discussion around the nature of consumer search on Google and how that differs from other portals and web-sites.

Correlating Online Behaviour to Search Engine Marketing
Search is the foremost activity carried out by Australians on the web. Indeed, four in five online Australians use search each month (Source: RedSheriff). Jupiter Research estimates that of the searches undertaken approximately one third are commercial in nature. Understanding consumer behaviour and intent is key to relevance and in turn the effectiveness of search engine marketing.

This session will address the relationship between search engine marketing and e-commerce, appropriate measures of success and categories where advertiser acceptance has been high.

Panelists:
Niki Scevak, Senior Analyst, Jupiter Research
Michael Walsh, Jupiter Research

Campaign Analysis and Value Metrics
Return on investment and accountability are often touted as the essence of search engine marketing. Yet campaigns often lack appropriate metrics and measurement techniques.

How should firms measure the value of search engine marketing? What impact does the online channel have on other offline sales channels? What level of expectations should marketers have in approaching search engine marketing? What can be learned from offline direct marketing techniques?
