How does one of the world's most highly-trafficked websites, takes a best-of-breed approach to data analytics to fully understand and engage online participants. AOL utilizes clickstream data to create person-centric views of individual visitors and leverages behavioral targeting and predictive analysis techniques to optimize every message across every web interaction for individual visitors, increasing customer loyalty. Senthil describes how AOL links web data to actionable systems (email marketing, site personalization, etc.) to maximize the value of website optimization initiatives and how they mine social network behaviors and interactions to customize offers for increased conversion rates.

Behavioral Targeting Suite OUR SUITE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING SOLUTIONS BEHAVIORAL TARGETING Behavioral Targeting is an opportunity to reach users based on displayed behaviors online: content visited, search queries, ads clicked and/or viewed, actions taken on a website. Audience BehaviorsTarget one of 150 behavioral segments (e.g. Auto Intender, Apparel Shopper) Custom Audience BehaviorsTarget a custom segment of users who have displayed relevant, discrete behaviors Audience ExtensionTarget a specific set of AOL Media users outside of AOL Media content at a lower CPM Advertiser LeadBackRe-target users who visit your website Creative LeadBackRe-target users who have clicked or seen an ad banner Sponsorship LeadBackRetarget users who have been to specific sponsorship area of AOL Reverse LeadBackTarget anyone but your users SearchBackTarget users who have made a category-related search on AOL Search or AOL properties

By identifying the customers behavior, location and time we can deliver the relevant content. 1 2 3 Identify the DMA / Geo segment. We deliver relevant content. Identify the Behavioral segment
- 29. Case Study : Look-alike modeling Demo, Geo and Behavioral data is used to create look-alike models. This model is an anonymous method of identifying users and matching them with relevant content. For example, people from specific DMA code typically like product X and tend to drive Y. Then whenever a visitor shares those characteristics, we can make more intelligent decisions about which content and ads to present.

- What is Projection? Projection is a voyage that collects data over time to predict and target behavioral patterns by combining web analytics data with back-office systems to achieve actionable solutions. Here, I want to emphasize the word back-office, which will play a critical role in web analytics paradigm. Here is a quick formulae to derive projections, we will come back to this equation later in the presentation.
- This diagram depicts the eco-system of all the different touch points where Web Analytics should interface with, starting with Finance, CRM and ERP systems.
- Here is a simple example:50 customers performing 10 web actions across 2 geoswithin two time periods for 12 months computes to 24,000 combinations Now, let’s look at a real-world scenario for a high traffic website: For 30 Million customers, with the same parameters, we are dealing with over 14 Billion combinations. So, let’s image if we have to map the demographic data, like age by income by gender; product by income by age; This is called Data Explosion.
- Traditional web analytics are good in delivering static and drill down reports on a limited data set. There are several short falls of the current web analytics tools such as near real-time forecasting and predictive modeling on big data.Optimization : What is the nest that can happenPredictive : What will happen next ?Forecasting : What if these trends continue ?Ad Hoc : How Many and How often ?Drill Down : Where exactly the problem ?Reports : What happened ?What we can Optimize in this one ?

- Data sets are raw data.Data Movement multiple data-store.
- Data Movement to centralized data-store.
- Sampling fails on the following scenarios: Change in Business Logic Multi Domain Integration Segment Analysis Behavioral Targeting Forecasting Predictive Analysis The reason that solving these problems is challenging is because web analytics data volumes are very high, and they involve high cardinality – sampling would reduce the accuracy and in most cases for qualitative data, would return incorrect results.
- So what is a Netezza data warehouse appliance?Netezza has taken the concept of a relational database and instantiated in hardware – taking what historically has been 3 independent technology silos – database technology, server technology, and storage technology – and re-integrating them into an appliance architecture, which opened up opportunities to innovate across that entire technology stack and deliver 100x the performance, at less than half the cost of traditional data warehouse solutions, with unmatched simplicity of deployment and operation
- Purpose built, Analytics AppliancePerformance10-100x faster than traditional systemsFrom Terabytes to Petabytes of online capacitySimplicityAppliance simplifies installation, configuration, & upgradesInnovative architecture alleviates indexing, tuning, etc.Save time, improve productivity, release projects fasterValueTime to Value – install and running applications in 2-3 daysLowest TCO – low price, cost effective configurationsGreen Solution - 75% data center resource savings
- Segmentation is the single most important capability underlying customer marketing and customer communications, and yet the type of segmentation that Omniture provides is really nothing more than primitive filtering. It is not real segmentation. Real segmentation requires a visitor-centric view of web visitors.And importantly, while there are strong benefits to all of these different types of segmentation strategies, behavioral segmentation provides the most powerful indication of audience intent, and because a Netezza data warehouse appliance enables you to store and query your granular audience data down to a segment of one, this capability is often the most significant value driver we see in our customers’ deployments.
- How do you implement it? Watching the clickstream, seeing that the user has clicked on these links, and changing the website behavior based on their prior clickstream pattern. The story here is around “passive personalization of web pages”. Creating a user cache to do personalization for the user
- We started at the theory of projection and optimization of web analytics, then we looked at managing data explosion. Also, we talked about the different targeting models. Now, let’s correlate the theory with the actual practice. The sweet-spot of targeting is going to help us achieve the break-even point. Once we have derived the break-even point, it’s time for optimization, which is an iterative continuous process, which can be achieved through research, development and industry influence. Now, let’s see how this equation fits into our projection. Here we are starting with Optimization, which is the driving factor that is used to align the traditional web analytics metrics. Then we continue to collect all predictive analysis factors till we reach our basic hypothesis, in our equation it’s called Forecasting, it’s also our control. Forecasting is based on facts, from which we derive highly probable outcome or actions. Combining these models, we can achieve actual projection by factoring the entire data
