A pithy, but worthwhile reminder of why we shouldn't get too caught up in various metrics collected through web analytics packages.
In his article, Jim Sterne says:
"What's In a Number? Why 1m Facebook Likes Isn't Enough" ...[raises] the fundamental question, "Why do you need a million 'Likes'?"
The only three metrics that really matter are:
- Increase revenue
- Lower costs
- Improve customer satisfaction
Jim's underlying challenge is for us to not just measure something because it's easy to do. Measure the things that matter to your business.
