http://www.ragan.com/Main/Articles/2_ways_to_measure_social_media_successfully__44271.aspx Social media measurement was one of many hot topics in 2011. Chances are it will be a hot topic in 2012, and every year thereafter until we have a standard set of metrics for brands to use. Unfortunately, there is a slim chance we will find a standard set of metrics for every brand. Brand goals differ, as do the metrics tied to those goals. It has been this way in public relations for years, and will likely be the same for social media as well. Communications professionals should be leery of approaches that encourage them to measure social media like we measure advertising, or any other communications discipline.

As part of my on-going work developing social media for business units, I’m often asked about what types of tools I used for tracking all that ‘social media stuff.’ With that said: when I think about creating a social media dashboard or using a platform to track results… I am looking at several unique business identifiers that define what tool I need for the job at hand. Who is going to use it? A big problem with advanced tools is that they have advanced controls. Knowing how to use some of the most precise tools often requires a lot of training. Additional questions revolve around whether or not I am going to be working with people on my team, an individual point of contact, or a team of workers on the platform. http://barryhurd.com/2011/11/10-social-media-dashboards-for-tracking-stuff/

This tool allows you to enter your own website along with competing websites and receive a grade on how well your website is doing. The report includes the amount of traffic, any SEO problems, and how popular it is in social media. This report has its flaws, but I really like how it presents the view of your site from the marketing point of view rather than strictly SEO one.

PostRank , a social media analytics service we use every day here at ReadWriteWeb, will announce today a new Facebook application that automates the publishing of your content onto Facebook and captures reader engagement statistics to incorporate into analytics for your content across the rest of the social media world. PostRank keeps track of how content gets passed around on sites like Twitter, Delicious, Digg, Reddit and many more. The service's ability to track reader sharing and discussion on Facebook has been hampered, however, by Facebook's being closed off to outside data collection. This new solution, a Facebook app that publishers authenticate with, is a smart way to make progress towards solving that problem.

People count how many times a link is shared on Facebook or retweeted on Twitter, but nobody really knows what percentage of those links are clicked on to drive traffic back to the original sites. ShareThis , which offers an all-in-one share button across tens of thousands of sites, is trying to address this issue with new metrics across its network that measure not only how many times a link is shared, but also how many times people act on that and click back to the article or Webpage.

Back in December of last year when I first posted on measuring visitor engagement, I hardly imagined how much interest the topic would generate. Shortly after the first post, I commented that my definition of engagement was as follows: Engagement is an estimate of the degree and depth of visitor interaction on the site against a clearly defined set of goals. I then went and wrote over a dozen posts, publishing feedback from some incredibly bright people and demonstrating the utility of a well-defined measure for engagement. Since that time, however, some have questioned the value of such a metric and thusly prompted me to update and publish the following calculation for visitor engagement:
