Here's what caught my attention:

• The three main methods of search include web crawling, indexing, and results from keyword matching. The most relevant information will be picked up first.

• Google updates its algorithm about 500 to 600 times a year. It occasionally performs a major update that can dramatically affect search results.

I selected this article from Curatti written by Robert Caruso because it explains the importance of quality metrics when measuring the results of your business's marketing efforts.

Understanding the outcome of your marketing strategies can help improve your conversion rates.

Measuring for Business Success

You can be successful generating more sales with the right metrics in place. I agree that many businesses fail to understand the full scope of their activities online.

Caruso explains what quality metrics look like and how this can affect your bottom line.

Here's what caught my attention:

• When it comes to taking a look at digital marketing your metrics should look at the quality rather than the quantity. This will then determine your investment of time, money, and resources.

• You can have a false sense of success by focusing on vanity metrics, which relies on data from activities rather than certain activities. This provides very little actionable data to measure.

• If you want to increase your sales then you need to dive deeper into actionable activity such as conversion rates, time spent on your website, cost per lead, ect.

What an intuitive piece about quality versus quantity.  I've actually had clients that have bought "likes" and "followers" thinking that the more followers, the better they appear as a business (power of social psychology). This fake dilution actually depletes their efforts in the social channel for a small, temporary illusion of grandeur.  The importance of a quality audience being offered quality content is what translates to the bottom line.  Likes, clicks and follows are not reflective of NOI.

Excellent article to help you manage or better yet, become more effective with your social media strategy.
