Beware the Vanity Metric!
Common Vanity Metrics
◉ Size of online community
◉ Impressions / Views
◉ Social ad reach
◉ Influential followers/fans
◉ Your own Klout
◉ Number of social and blog posts
◉ Mentions
A Vanity Metric does not inform your work, help
you make decisions, or help you Matter*
* Sometimes the boss wants these anyway. We call this “ego-checking.

Editor's Notes

  1. Google Analytics Twitter Analytics Facebook Insights YouTube Insights KissMetrics Sprout Social True Social Metrics AddThis, Gigya, ShareThis, Disqus….
  2. Relevant Data: to your job, boss, org, funder
  3. Vanity metrics
  4. Likes/size: Look at the value of the # of likes, quality, who they are – that’s what matters. Is it the RIGHT community Impressions/views/ad reach does not equal interest Klout does not move people to action A person who is influential must be engaged Number of posts is important, but not critical
  5. These have to inform the work of the organization, too!
  6. What REALLY matters is what’s going to your website
  7. All this data was obtained through Google Analytics
