WebTrends produces all kinds of data; making sense of it and drawing valid conclusions or forumlating reasonable hypotheses is a different matter entirely.

WebTrends data seems to contradict itself often. What have you found to be the most valuable numbers/calculations to present to clients and what did you do to arrive at those numbers?

Dynamic pages - usually this is cart activity and / or the forms on the site. While each form submittal does not cover each lead generated it can be used as a rough guide to increase / decrease productivity to the site.
