Travelocity's Glueck Blasts Tracking ROI, Non-Branded Search
Travelocity CMO Jimmy Glick (no that's the Martin Short character) Jeffrey Glueck is the one who claims non-branded search terms are a waste of time and that ROI for search cannot be measured....

I can understand why he is suggesting just using branded search if his ROI measurements are not working......

It's almost not worth the time to discuss this... if he doesn't understand measuring ROI he shouldn't be working in this industry let alone making any "profound" statements.

Funny, and they are hiring an SEO too...
Travelocity 'SEO lead' job via Indeed

Wanna bet on whether they'll be hiring an CMO soon?

Shhhhh...
This is the perfect chance to not give this guy what he wants--attention. Just let this pass. Within two posts on SEL, it's already been established this CMO is confused. In October he says yes to non-branded keywords, now he says no to non-branded keywords.

Give the guy a break
You don't get to be in his position within a top 3 travel site by being anything other than... smart.

Folks on forums love the ability to anonymously knock people, but reality is likely more complex. I'll bet everything he said has been taken out of context.

Can't disagree with you there, Aussie.

PS Not about your president, just the fact regarding wrong people in the wrong positions
