Hi!

What’s the Difference?

Conversations -> Conversions If you are engaging MORE with random people than your target audience, you are wasting your time.

It’s kinda like talking to yourself.

But how can I know if I’m just wasting my time?

Metrics, of course!

11

pinballstrategy.com @pinballstrategy #DSP14

Hi!

Correlate the Data 1. Average Time on site 2. Goal Conversions

These two metrics should be positively correlated. In other words, as the average time on site increases, goal conversions should increase as well.

Myth: If you build it, they will come.

FALSE!

How did this happen when I have such great content?

Your content is not your problem,

my friend.

The Problem is …

…you don’t know what the

problem is!

22

(Those metrics aren’t very helpful … the magic happens in between)

Most companies only track three things

content

traffic

revenue

Acquisition: Top o’ the Funnel

29

Hi!

Take it from the Top Two Key Metrics to Measure: •  Conversation Rate (CR)

•  CR = (Total # Comments/Total # Impressions) * 100

•  Amplification Rate (AR) •  AR = (Total # Social Shares/Total # Impressions) * 100

30

pinballstrategy.com @pinballstrategy #DSP14

Conversation Rate CR = (Total # Comments/Total # Impressions) * 100

(30/2,384) * 100 = 1.58%

31

pinballstrategy.com @pinballstrategy #DSP14

(325/1,411) * 100 = 23%

Amplification Rate AR = (Total # Social Shares/Total # Impressions) * 100
