- Virility metrics: as simple as knowing how many users shared your content. When other people share reach and virility is generated. This can be given with mentions in tweets, LinkedIn shares, on a facebook wall among others.
- Lead generation metrics: the question would be: how many users have filled out a form of contact following the publication of your content? With analytics (using cookies) you can also determine which publications generated more leads. With lead generation we can assume two hits:
