I place them roughly in this order: Movies > Television > Books > Music > Magazines > Radio > Newspapers Each industry is watching the one in front of it sink into the quicksand. Despite all the energy invested in talking to authors about the size of their platform, very few gatekeepers have a rigorous set of metrics for measuring it.

I didn't give lectures, I didn't have a blog, I didn't have a column in Dr. Dobbs magazine, and most interesting of all, I didn't even know "code review" was going to be what made the company successful ! On the surface, it's yet another "marketing metrics" company. Even "cool, agile" companies like 37signals are trapped.

Keep your sales metrics visible. This is where a good CRM system and sales metrics really come into play. If you don’t have time to run sales metrics yourself, talk with your team about what you’d like to measure and why so that you can agree on what you’ll see in your regular reporting. Keep agile and pivot.

People would go, “Oh, this one won the “best of MacUser Magazine benchmark&# award,&# and it would confirm that this was a safe purchasing choice.

Compared on typical media metrics of reach and engagement, Facebook stands apart which is why it’s both much larger as a business (30-40X bigger in revenue) and a far more valuable company. The “follow” modality is an interesting one and Twitter was a pioneer here where many others have now followed (sorry, no pun intended).

Web Analysts are blessed with an immense amount of data, and an amazing amount of valuable, even sexy, metrics to understand business performance. Yet our heroic efforts to report the aforementioned sexy metrics lead to little business action. Since crappy sounds bad, let's just say you are reporting super lame metrics.

If you are doing lame stuff, why try harder in an analytics context by asking for Economic Value or Visitor Loyalty or Conversation Rate or a thousand other super powerful and insightful metrics ? How good can it possibly feel to do unimaginative things that barely even worked on TV/radio/magazines/catalogs?

While there is a great deal of appreciation for the power of metrics/data, I've come to realize that Sr. Leaders don't quite appreciate the deep, and often corrosive, consequences of choosing metric x over metric y as a key performance indicator (KPI). It is a standard metric. Don't believe me?
