As you might imagine, I’ve been trying to decide how to expand the set of products covered in the Raab Guide to Demand Generation Systems. The tentative list is Unica , Aprimo , Alterian , and Neolane. But I’ve also been approached by some of the other demand generation specialists. How to choose?

As I commented in an earlier post on purchase funnel measurement , Marketo’s approach is not conceptually unique. The basic idea is to track leads through stages in a purchase funnel, which is similar to pipeline reporting in many sales automation systems.

Oracle tersely announced today that it had purchased the intellectual assets of demand generation vendor Market2Lead. This is an excellent fit for Oracle in that Market2Lead is a sophisticated product that is best suited to large, demanding marketing operations.

In fact, 88% said Web sites were important in helping them decide what to buy. B2B marketers looking for ways to turn their Web sites into demand generation tools have some new solutions to consider. I would put the lead management automation crop here: Eloqua, Loopfuse, Manticore Technologies, Market2Lead, Marketo, and Vtrenz.
