In 2012, MarketingSherpa posed the question , “Did optimization or testing demonstrate ROI in 2011?” However, you have to have a predictable traffic stream (ie PPC) and even then it is rough. What works for PPC traffic might not work for returning direct traffic, SEO traffic and so on. Measuring ROI of optimization is hard.

Same thing with the class of 2011, except they’re a different cohort because they share a different common experience in a time period.

” To make the concept a little less abstract, Sean Ellis , founder of Qualaroo, has created a metric for knowing when you’ve achieve Product/Market fit. That was the metric that really told us we needed to start over.” Or keep spending money on PPC and SEO through the nose for traffic that doesn’t convert.).

End of a minor web analytics lesson on going beyond obvious metrics and never, ever, never forgetting context. Of course look at our favorite metric bounce rate by keyword (that tells you if you can get people to give you one solitary click , the most primitive measure of SEO success). Now go plan for 2011. Back to our story.
