Many Marketers Relying on Time-Intensive, Manual Processes that Inhibit Scale and Sophistication of Conversion Strategies  

OREM, Utah - Sept. 10, 2009 - Omniture, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMTR), a leading provider of online business optimization software, today announced results of the 2009 Omniture Online Conversion Benchmark Survey. According to the survey*, online marketers continue to rely heavily on time-consuming manual processes for content display decisions or to personalize and optimize the content on their web pages or landing pages. In fact, only 2% of respondents use an automated conversion application to decide what content is displayed on their web site. This may explain why almost 80% of marketers do not currently serve personalized content to site visitors as their manual processes are not efficient or scalable.

"This research indicates we are in the early days of marketing automation," said Gail Ennis, senior vice president, marketing, Omniture. "As marketers become more educated about the new online marketing applications that are available to increase conversion, using automation will become mainstream."

The benchmark survey asks marketers questions about their on-site conversion strategies, including content personalization, testing and targeting initiatives. The survey is ongoing and as of August 1^st, had already been taken by more than 1000 marketers, with 27% of respondents outside of the United States. After completing the survey, respondents receive a report that benchmarks their results against the results of other respondents in their industry and results of the respondents in the aggregate. The report also offers best practices for content personalization, testing and targeting tailored to each respondent as determined by his or her answers. 

Highlights from the survey include:

Budgeting

• 42% of marketers are spending less than five hours per week optimizing advertising media.

Onsite Promotions and Content

• When it comes to deciding which content to display online, 70% of respondents said that decision is often made by only one person, often a senior marketing executive

Testing

• Less than a third of marketers frequently test online content
• Of those that do, many find that their process involves manual implementation (50%), manual analysis (42%) and manual optimization (25%)

Targeting

• Almost 50% do very little to no targeting of content
• Of those that are targeting, the majority of respondents (72%) are using manual targeting processes which are time consuming and inefficient
