Historically marketers have paid close attention to site traffic, time on site and page view statistics. Success on today’s Internet, the social web, is however, not guaranteed by any of these numbers. The most savvy marketers are waking up to the fact that new key performance indicators are more relevant:
- Quality of site traffic takes precedence over quantity of site traffic
- Interactions on your site are far more important than just time on site
- Sharing content from your site leads to effective word of mouth marketing, unlike passive page views.
