Significance of Content Performance Measurement
Why measure content performance?
How good is good? The real worth of your content marketing program can be understood only after finding out how effective it has been in achieving pre-defined goals. Whether it is building an email list, improving brand engagement or accomplishing more sales, it is performance data (legacy and real-time) that will tell you how successful your program is.
Vanity metrics..? Beware
Many marketers are taken in by the fancy figures delivered by vanity metrics: shares, likes, downloads, etc. However, these are superficial and don’t give you the real picture on conversion. To calculate ROI more accurately, you need to use ‘deep metrics’ that help you bring closer to reality. Steering away from the stereotyped notion of performance metrics (such as page views & subscriber count), the trend today is to consider new metrics, including time-on-content, channels by engagement, among others.
