Defining Success Metrics for Corporate Blogs
Defining Success Metrics for Corporate Blogs
Many of the success metrics for blogs are similar to those that might apply to a Website, since blogs are a variation on a Website.
These 'shared' success metrics include:
Blog/Website Traffic
* Unique Visitors
* Unique Visits
* Repeat Visits
* Page Views
* Page Views per Visit
* Average Time Spent on site
Blog/Website Brand/Content Interactions
* Content Page Views
* Content % of Page Views
Blog/Website Responses (if applicable)
* Number of Desired Responses
* Conversion Rate from site visitor to Desired Response
* Cost-Per-Desired Response
In addition to the above 'shared' success metrics, there are a number of success metrics that are specific to the unique nature of blogs.
These blog-specific success metrics include:
* Number of Subscribers to the blog's RSS Feed
* Number of Overall Inbound Links to the blog
* Number of other Blogs that Link to the blog
* Number of Comments Submitted to the blog
* Number of Trackbacks Submitted to our blog
Not all of these success metrics will apply in every case, however these are some of the more common ones.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?"
