- The Quest for the Single-Metric SEO Dashboard
- by Marios Alexandrou. ClickZ, October 31, 2012. "... SEO doesn't just include optimizing a site, but rather it involves the optimization of digital assets on multiple sites - some owned and some not. As a result, you've got a bunch of metrics like visits, clicks, impressions, and shares that have to somehow be summarized in a way that, ideally, tells a positive story. My preferred format for such deliverables is a graph that plots a trend, ideally one that rises as you move from left to right. It's usually unacceptable to plot a dozen metrics on a graph because it becomes incomprehensible. And trying to squeeze multiple graphs onto a single page isn't much of a solution..."

- The Formula Behind The Facebook 'Like' Number
- by Greg Finn. Marketing Land, October 17, 2012. "Facebook's private messages spawned quite an uproar last week when it was uncovered that messages were not only being crawled, but also used towards the overall 'Like data' of a page. One of the important lessons that marketers learned from the situation was that the 'Like count' wasn't really about likes, rather other interactions (and messaging) that occurs on Facebook. This led us to ask the question — Just what does count towards the Facebook Like data?.."

- Setting Up Actionable SEO Dashboards in the New Google Analytics
- by Taylor Pratt, SEO Book, February 22, 2012. "There have been many mixed reviews about the latest Google Analytics UI. Putting the frustration of having to learn a new UI aside (here's a great guide to navigating the new Google Analytics interface), the new Google Analytics actually brings to the table great customization options. One of my favorites being custom dashboards. Both the old and new interfaces offer a standard dashboard that acts as an overview of your analytics profile. But where the new UI has its advantage is with your ability to create your own dashboard - in fact, you can create up to 20 of them for each profile..."

- SEO Metrics You Must Track and Report
- By Michael Martinez. SEO Theory – SEO Theory and Analysis Blog, August 9, 2011. "Search engine optimization metrics rarely tell the full story of what is happening with a Website in the searchable Web ecosystem. We don't look for the ultimate SEO metrics any more, which is probably a good thing, but I have to admit to some frustration when it comes down to having a meaningful discussion with anyone about what signifies success, growth, or failure for a Website. To understand your metrics you have to know how your Website behaves. You have to understand its cycles and rhythms. I don't just mean those weekly, monthly, and seasonal traffic cycles. I mean you have to understand what publishing new content generates in terms of data spikes (or dips) in your metrics..."

- What was the evidence? Users' information needs and analytics
- by Peter Jordan. Alpha.gov.uk team blog, 23 May 2011. "As mentioned in other blogs, one of the first and primary tasks for the Alphagov project was to build a site that provided the information and services users need. So where were we going for the evidence? Within the timescale and resources of the project we saw value in taking a quantitative approach – looking at analytics and particularly search analytics across the central government web estate. Writing this, I'm aware of Leisa Reichelt's blog on UX and Alphagov, but here I’m going to talk about the learnings we got from analytics about what people are doing. Of course, this should be informed, qualified and enriched by qualitative studies to understand intent..."
