Often, our industry can appear complicated, and yearns for simplicity. One such technique to glean simplicity is to develop frameworks which the corporate social strategist can then apply to achieve their business goals.

[The novice provide executives with engagement data --causing themselves to be stuck in the churn of obtaining more followers and fans --without a clear business goal]

Making Data Relevant: The New Metrics for Social Marketing
Google Webmaster Tools Expose Analytics Lies « beu blog
Over the holidays, Google rolled out a pretty major update to Webmaster Tools. This latest update provides much more detail in terms of data and reporting. So much in fact, that some folks seem confused now about the difference between Google Webmaster Tools and Google Analytics. The big difference for SEO is that Google Webmaster Tools shows Google’s own data for URLs in Google SERPs and doesn’t track web pages like Google Analytics. In addition to the key difference in reporting, Google Webmaster Tools requires no installation. While it’s difficult to say for sure, this update should force folks to abandon the ignorance is bliss mentality when it comes to analytics reporting once and for all.
