http://www.emarketer.com/Article.aspx?R=1007174 Want to start a brawl in online advertising circles? Just announce that online advertising should adopt the traditional media measurement metrics of reach, frequency and GRPs (gross rating points). This debate, in fact, has been raging for years, practically a lifetime in the Web world. But the tide seems to be turning—in favor of GRP adoption. Certainly, those opposed to applying GRP metrics to the digital realm have their points. Digital insiders argue that standard reach and frequency metrics fail to take into account the Internet’s unique interactive qualities.

Today, the Online Publishers Association published a report called "The Silent Click: Building Brands Online."

Online publishers did this by showing their advertisers how many times readers clicked on ads. For years, this was supposed to be the selling point that finally to steered big brand advertisers away from old media and onto the Internet where consumers were spending more and more of their time.
Since the dawn of time, advertisers have been worried about the efficacy of online display ads. This is in part because, in the mid-1990s, they were taught that online display ads had one purpose in life, which was to get people to click on them. Of course, nothing could have been farther from the truth. Online search ads are great for clicks, because when people encounter search ads, they're looking for something to click on. When people encounter display ads, meanwhile, they're not looking for something to click on--they're looking for something to read . http://www.businessinsider.com/henry-blodget-hey-online-display-ads-dont-suck-after-all-2009-7

Essential Metrics for Online Marketers

Many marketers feel overwhelmed by the volume of data generated by all the reporting programs they have in place at different levels of the marketing process. Web analytics reporting tools track and report an increasing number of metrics. In fact, some services will give you a choice of dozens or even hundreds of different reports. X is the variable, representing the desired interaction, which might simply be a visit, or it might be a sale, a referral, a phone call or a subscription. To calculate the cost per interaction you need to list all the difference sources of your traffic, as each source will have different costs associated with it. It is important to remember that although some sources of traffic may not appear to have a hard cost in terms of price per click or exposure, they will likely cost you in time spent by your staff or in fees from outside suppliers. http://www.marketingexperiments.com/improving-website-conversion/online-marketing-metrics.html

O trabalho para uma loja online dar certo é o mesmo que em uma loja física, ou seja, muuuuito trabalho. Só que no caso do e-commerce os trabalhos são mais focados em números do que no corpo a corpo que acontece nas lojas de rua ou de shopping. Uma loja só dá certo se seus gestores souberem o que estão fazendo realmente e não ficarem testando no escuro o que aprenderam na faculdade, pós graduação ou mestrado. Para saber o que fazer no e-commerce é necessário analisar com carinho os milhares de números que sua loja irá gerar através de um bom web analytics. Por isso lhe pergunto, você ou responsáveis da loja VIVEM os números da loja? Digo viver os números porque é isso mesmo que os gestores tem que fazer, acompanhar a cada momento a mudança de cada número e com isso saber onde pode estar o problema quando acontecer.
