Is Your Business Monitoring What Matters On Social Media? [INFOGRAPHIC]

Is Your Business Monitoring What Matters On Social Media? [INFOGRAPHIC] | BI Revolution | Scoop.it
From www.mediabistro.com - April 19, 2013 1:58 PM

A recent study revealed that almost half of companies are not monitoring their online social media communities.


More than one-third said that they only measure Likes, comments and interactions on Facebook, with fewer than one in four actively measuring the ROI of their social media campaigns.

Social media affects your bottom line; brands that are proactively using these tools see numerous benefits. And for those that aren’t, the absence of social media can also impact their bottom lines, albeit in a very different way.

This infographic takes a closer look at why the shift to in-depth social media monitoring is critical for the modern business.

The New Sales Kakuki & Social Media Metrics

Remember that Heuy Lewis song, "I Need A New Drug"?  We need new METRICS. You can see my first stab an fully valuing the social ecosystem on Google Plus: https://plus.google.com/u/0/102639884404823294558/posts/PzEcByR7ptH 

Not pretty but a start. This infographic is a good start too. It is asking the right question in the right way, "Are You Monitoring What Really Matters".

Irvin There is a trick. Convert your Social Media into some currency you are more familiar with. Divide followers by your sales or profits or traffic and you create a ratio between a leading and following indicators. Sales is following, traffic is leading. I just put a riff about this on Martin W. Smith on G+ too.

Thank you so much Martin for this valuable insight. I will definitely check out Google+ as well.
Drew Hodges's curator insight, February 19, 2015 5:58 PM

This article looks at how we have almost become lazy with our sampling methods. For example when we look up keyword searches like a brand name, it is more effective to look at the whole conversation. Another common metric we use is using sample sets of data, although there is so much data it would be impossible to look at every single piece of data, it is important to set a sample size big enough so that the data has minimal outliers. For example a sample size of 10 might give you a totally different picture than a sample size of 100.  

 

What is not talked about in this article that was touched on in class was the idea of getting the whole picture. For example with software they may be using keywords like they say in the article but it may not have the typical connotation when read in context of the statement.

Helpful community creation and management tips here. I like 3 and 4: Create stories and subdivide into segmented social media plays. I never thought of segmenting our social media since managing what we are now is about to crush us (lol), but interesting idea with merit. Other cool ideas in this helpful list too.

Doesn't surprise me that Pinterest is #1 referral source to Martha Stewart. Day it is #1 to Manny, Moe and Jack (car parts) will be when the power is undeniable. It will get there because visuals are crushing textuals.

Semantic Keyword Grouping – Improving Quality Score With Relevance

Semantic Keyword Grouping – Improving Quality Score With Relevance | BI Revolution | Scoop.it
From www.wordstream.com - April 17, 2012 5:35 AM

Semantic Keyword Grouping is a very important topic for anyone who wants to put everything on his side. Whether you are active in the marketing, sale or any other field, what counts are the visits to your blog and / or website. Maybe this tool can help you in your effort. [note mg]


I've published another post about semantic research on my Social Media topic here: http://bit.ly/Jw2OJB


Group keywords semantically and see important PPC results like improved relevance, a better quality score, and a stronger click through rate with WordStream.


Grouping keywords semantically is the key to a successful, well-organized pay-per-click ad campaign. But what exactly is semantic keyword grouping? It's the process of organizing keywords into small, manageable groups according to semantic relevance. In other words, keywords that share a high degree of meaning or intent are gathered together in segments.

Facebook, You Are Failing Us

Facebook, You Are Failing Us | BI Revolution | Scoop.it
From www.businessesgrow.com - November 1, 2012 11:18 PM

Facebook has been getting a bad rap lately -- and for good reasons.

 

In her article, Neicole Crepeau explains what the company did wrong and why its demise could happen very soon.

 

"Facebook sold us on “engagement” but failed to provide businesses with tools and methods to truly engage consumers. While Facebook touts comments and likes—and its Timeline has delivered increases in those—what ultimately counts is whether people go to their own website or eventually make a purchase. Comments and likes don’t mean more money."

Marty Note
I agree. Facebook is failing us.

How to Systematically Build a Mountain of Links

How to Systematically Build a Mountain of Links | BI Revolution | Scoop.it
From www.problogger.net - February 20, 2012 5:00 AM

Looking for how to increase traffic to your blog or website, this article will give you some very useful information to achieve your goal. [note MG]


We’ve all been taught to create high-quality content to attract links. This argument is usually stated in the context of a blog that basically becomes an authority where you start to build a following around consistent, fresh content—think big sites like Problogger or Boing Boing.


This is not the technique I’m talking about.


Today, I’m talking about a link-building technique that’s bigger, better and quite possibly able to put you on the map faster than you would ever imagine. I’m talking about building a linkable asset—something you do by following the steps I’m about to describe.


First, let’s define “linkable asset.”


What is a linkable asset?
