Analytics provider Clicklab has created a no-cost worksheet that will help you estimate the incremental cash flow that can reasonably be expected from a Web analytics program used over time. To do so, it takes into consideration two key components that can be addressed by a Web analytics service and that can lead to increased ROI: 1) The direct increase in sales resulting from improved traffic quality and website usability; and 2) The savings resulting from discontinuing non-performing advertising and preventing click fraud. It's a handy tool and quite a nice business development idea as well.

The ROI calculator allows you play with the price, mailing cost, quantity mailed and/or projected response rate of your next direct mail campaign to determine how successful you will be.

address value and the total value of your database using five data fields. The
total might surprise you. It will also help you determine how much you can
reasonably spend to acquire new addresses.
Do you know how many subscribers you have to add to your list to get 10%
