It provides for me a sense of community, and a sense of what people I know and care about things I care about are talking about (in a certain realm, on other realms, not so much). It is made up of people who are techically-oriented, largely affluent, and largely spend inordinate amounts of time in contact with electronic devices.

September 17, 2007 There is an interesting discussion happening between Holly Ross, soon to be ED of NTEN, and Allan Benamer , about web statistics, and whether or not nonprofits should be “transparent&# and publish their web statistics. It’s been there since 9/7/2007, two days after my call for getting people on Quantcast.

All of these strategies take time and resources, but of different kinds. While it may be ideal to have a fully integrated setup, a good stepping stone is one that feeds data directly to the CRM but appears to use the same CMS as the rest of the site. Some take internal staff resources (especially the Manual strategy.) 13 Eoin 06.25.09

I have pretty much always understood the difference between blogs and websites – but I recently got a better feeling as I was redoing my own website.

For blogging, you have to use a couple of different tools to get the different metrics you need. I track two hard data points: RSS subscriber growth over time as well as the feed delivery stats (email versus reader). There are two different profiles: subscribers and visitors. Visitors are people who visit your blog.

I can't imagine that 1,400 people unsubscribed in a day? At e-metrics, someone told me it had to do with them dropping counts from different news readers. In the early days, it was a small company focused on making it easier for publishers to manage their RSS feeds, and for people to use them. But all is not well.

This is a significant increase from 2007 when ComScore reported that Internet users spent 1 out of every 12 minutes online using social networks.

In defining your target audience, too, keep the intended outcome in mind: Which people are actually in a position to act on your information? While celebrity endorsements have power in marketing, studies suggest that most people are more open to a transfer or exchange of knowledge with a respected peer. Toronto : Imagine Canada , 2007.
