Really practical tips to help you monitor the things that matter in terms of online marketing ROI.

Sarah Bivens-PR's curator insight, July 11, 2013 12:15 PM

This is a great article to read for anyone involved in any part of the marketing field. Not only does it give the five online metrics important to monitor when having a company website or blog, it explains why these metrics are necessary to take into consideration. The author explains the need to focus on how engaging one's articles or blogs are by how often guests return to the site, how often viewers become customers, how much guests click around to different parts of the site and more. 

 

This article goes right along with my current internship. I deal with product descriptions and write blogs for my company. It has made me aware that I am not just writing this description or blog because my boss tells me to, but rather to engage our potential customers by making them love our site and want to come back again.
