>> Setting up website and other goal tracking in analytics allows you to track your site conversions back to the source/medium of traffic. Each site conversion (product purchase, email, download) should be assigned a real dollar value in your analytics package. For example, on an eCommerce site this is easy; a widget costs $5, so each conversion/sale is worth $5. You can quickly learn that on average, 100 social media visits result in 10 widget purchases, or $50. After building a little historical data you can place a per-visit dollar value on all referral traffic sources - ppc ads, organic search traffic, referring sites, Twitter traffic, Facebook, etc. While you would obviously never ignore a social channel that hosts conversations about your business, you could find out that Twitter traffic is more valuable to your company than Facebook. Growing the engagement level of that channel could then have a significant impact on a company. There are so many take-aways once the traffic is assigned value. <<Scott Benson, Online Marketing Manager at Vocus
