The Digital Footprint Score(tm) is a metric that will be published quarterly by the Digital Strategy Institute.

The parameters that go into it are the following – under 4 vectors, 1) site, 2) search, 3) social, and 4) mobile.

The version of the score below is 11.4 (which means year 2011, month 4).

Digital Footprint Score 11.5

Site
- pages per visit
- visits per unique user
Search
- keywords driving traffic
- sites referring traffic (inbound links)

- # of pages cached by Google

Social
- twitter followers
- unique retweeters
- unique mentions of handle

Mobile
- unique mobile content
- mobile app? (1/0)

Meaningful comparisons are made among brands in the same industry/category, using the raw DFS score. the indexed DFS score can also give directional indication across industries (e.g. which industries as a whole are better in digital than others).

The parameters that go into the score were chosen mainly on the following criteria — that they are easy to obtain, easy to understand, AND straightforward to impact. For example if you have a low pages per visit parameter, then you impact that by adding more content pages to your site.

Original Post

The Digital Footprint Score(tm) is a new multi-metric index that helps brand marketers assess their digital marketing activities and compare it in apples-to-apples fashion to other brands in similar categories.

It takes parameters from the following 4 key areas: 1) site, 2) search, 3) social, and 4) mobile. It can be used to inform digital strategy and digital marketing tactics — those tactics will impact these parameters and improve the brand’s digital footprint score.

It is deliberately focused on measurable actions created by users NOT the size of the audience to which the ad was delivered, as in the case of the following 2 old metrics.

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_Rating_Point

Gross Rating Point (GRP) is a term used in advertising to measure the size of an audience reached by a specific media vehicle or schedule. It is the product of the percentage of the target audience reached by an advertisement, times the frequency they see it in a given campaign. For example, a TV advertisement that is aired 5 times reaching 50% of the target audience, it would have 250 (GRP = 5 x 50% –) i.e., GRPs = frequency x % reach. To arrive at your total Gross Rating Points, add the individual ratings for each media vehicle you are using. You can also calculate GRP by dividing your gross Impressions by the population base and multiplying the answer by 100. GRPs are also used by broadcasters to sell their advertising space to potential customers.

A related metric is TRP, or Target Rating Point, a measure of the purchased targeted rating points representing an estimate of the component of the targeted audience being reached by an advertisement.

social media benchmarks

UPDATED: January 19, 2013

Facebook Sponsored Stories CTR, CPC Benchmarks

ORIGINAL POST:

Many clients have asked about social media benchmarks or social marketing benchmarks. They ask things like how many fans should they have on Facebook? They are concerned if they cannot project 1 million fans on their fan page.
But that is because most clients are coming from a reach and frequency background. Some have moved to unique visitors, pageviews, and time on site. But what is more important today is not that people get to the site or the time they spend, but what they do … so social intensity is a benchmark which captures the quantity and frequency of social actions like sharing, discussing, commenting, voting, etc. All of these actions lead to value that accumulates for other future visitors to the site.

Adwords – lower cost per click
Clicks Impressions CTR Avg Cost per Click Total spent
511 61,894 0.82% $0.47 per click $242.16

PayPerPost - optimal is lowest payment per post
dollars pageviews/clicks
$122.50       2630/120 $1.02 per click 4.6% CTR   ($5 per post)
$183.25     1324/114 $1.61 per click 8.6% CTR ($10 per post)
$291.25     2369/260 $1.12 per click 11% CTR   ($20 per post)

ReviewMe – www. johnchow. com
$300 – nearly no value; JohnChow pioneered link sharing to get his blog up to about rank 100 on Technorati before they changed the way they calculated authority; despite the many links to his blog, it was practically useless in driving any useful customers. Now his site has been penalized by Google and is only PageRank 3 site.

StumbleUpon – extremely useful in helping new users discover the site and features; the velocity of the clicks was incredible (approx 300 clicks in 5 minutes) BEST VALUE OVERALL flat rate $0.05 per click; you set the daily budget
Facebook benchmarks like Facebook CTRs, Facebook CPCs, and Facebook CPMs can be found here.
