- Social Marketing Analytics: A new framework for measuring results in social media
- While numerous social media measurement technologies exist, no single tool can adequately measure and provide insights for all social marketing activity. As tools evolve, organizations must persevere by aggregating measures and evaluating results in the context of a Social Marketing Analytics framework. This document presents Web Analytics Demystified and Altimeter Group’s recommendations for measuring social media. Our hope is that by setting reasonable and realistic expectations, our clients and companies around the world can begin to make better, more objective decisions regarding their own investment in these emerging channels.

- Web Analytics Standard
- At a minimum, all public-facing websites must implement the tracking code for the Whole of Victorian Government (WoVG) analytics account. The WoVG analytics account uses a single supplier (currently Google Analytics) to allow Victorian Government website statistics to be tracked consistently, and to be aggregated into a portfolio view. The supplier chosen is either a free or near‐free service, or is subject to normal Government procurement. A WoVG approach to web analytics will provide consistent information to central agencies that track the government's web portfolio as a whole, as well as providing all Victorian Government website owners with comparable metrics to evaluate their usage and performance.

- Measuring Social Media
- by Peter Da Vanzo. SEO Book, 2 May 2013. "Measuring PPC and SEO is relatively straightforward. But how do we go about credibly measuring social media campaigns, and wider public relations and audience awareness campaigns? As the hype level of social media starts to fall, then more questions are asked about return on investment. During the early days of anything, the hype of the new is enough to sustain an endeavor. People don't want to miss out. If their competitors are doing it, that's often seen as good enough reason to do it, too..."

- Measuring and Increasing the ROI of Your Content Resources
- Posted by Mike Pantoliano. SEOMoz - The Daily SEO Blog, April 22nd, 2013. "... With so much emphasis often put on the traffic generation potential of a good content marketing strategy, I want to focus this post on measuring and increasing the return on the (sometimes sneakily large) investment. Some common goals you'll hear surrounding a content marketing strategy include generating traffic for generic terms, increasing social shares, and developing the brand's authority (measured by increases in branded traffic, or some other indicator). In the right circumstances, all of these are nice metrics for the relevant stakeholders in the organization, but they're all just proxies for measuring the growth of a business. They're measurements of the means, not the end..."

- Social Media Traffic: Get It Together in Google Analytics
- by Dorcas Alexander. LunaMetrics, Posted on April 25, 2013. "Your social media traffic data is split across several reports in Google Analytics. Are you taking steps to get it together? Social media traffic sources appear in Social :: Network Referrals, as well as in Sources :: All Traffic and Sources :: Referrals. They also appear in Sources :: Campaigns if you use campaign-tagged links, not to mention the ones masquerading as direct traffic. There’s little you can do about the direct traffic, but to get a handle on the rest of it, it’s helpful to understand where the reports overlap and where they don’t. Some of the sources for these visits are accounted for across reports. Others appear only in Sources reports and not in Social reports..."

- A PR Dashboard for Google Analytics
- by Justin Cutroni, Analytics Blog, February 18, 2013. "I recently wrote a post about Google Analytics for PR pros. After walking through what metrics I thought were important, I included a link to a PR dashboard for Google Analytics that anyone can add to Google Analytics. Here’s an explanation of the dashboard... This dashboard is focused on the visitors to a website, where they came from and what they do on the site. It starts with a simple count of people and how many sessions they created. This is a good way to get an idea of the normal trend of traffic and people. If there any abnormal? Did you do something to cause a bump?..."

"Working as a practitioner in house at a technology company, one of my jobs is to teach my team members how to fish with Google Analytics. What should they be looking for in GA? Where do they start?

- Web and social media reporting can help Communication get a seat at the decision-makers' table
- eGov AU - Craig Thomler's professional blog - eGovernment and Gov 2.0 thoughts and speculations from an Australian perspective, Wednesday, April 10, 2013. "Yesterday morning I attended the first OPC IT WebEx event for the year, where we heard from three great speakers on intranet development, accessibility and the changing face of the media in Australia. One particular statement that stuck in my mind was from David Pembroke, CEO of Content Group, who said that it was important for communications people to bring numbers to the table to gain a seat alongside other decision-makers, such as CFOs and CIOs who already have numbers in hand to support their positions. While most agencies now track the traffic to their website and report raw numbers of followers, comments and mentions on their social channels, I believe there's still a way to go before these numbers are provided in the right way to the right people at the right time to help Communications areas - and particularly Online Communications - have the impact and the influence it deserves..."

In presenting on mobile app analytics around the world over the last year, I've noticed too many marketers and developers continue to obsess over just acquisition metrics.
