I’m sorry, I didn’t post any articles those last couple weeks…
I’m currently creating a wordpress based website for a friend & reading “Dont’ make me think” to be “on top” of usability and post about Steve Krug tips !
Anyway, it’s Friday, let’s have some fun… Just want to share this video from GetElastic blog :
NB : La liste des outils pour monitorer le social media est loin d’être exhaustive ! N’hesitez pas, si un outil manque cruellement 🙂
[:en]Since a few now, I read a lot about how to measure effectively and with which tool the impact of our social media campaigns. And for a while I wonder about the best way to avoid installing all the tools and export them to excel to create my own dashboard…
Well now, I am not yet able to answer to this and my old excel is still my best friend, however this pushed me to make some research, find out about the tools, test them, benchmark …
Here is the result of my surfing, hope it might help!
~ Social Radar / Alterian’s SM2… : tools that focus specifically on trends, market analysis carried on innovation to understand the needs and interests of future users
~ not to mention the native tools such as Facebook Insight, Insight Twitter, Youtube Analytics or others but equally useful to monitor your online reputation: Google Alerts, TweetDeck, Klout, Omigili …
.
These tools cannot be included in this benchmark because my goal was to centralize the info but nevertheless you should look at them in the meantime.
I tried to focus on a small amount of metrics because we already have enough dashboards and metrics to follow. And I think that this listing of metrics is more than sufficient to monitor the social media in your business.
My point was to know how to measure both ROI and engagement generated by social media campaigns as part of an ecommerce business (small and medium scale), have a simple reporting that assist emarketers in the decisionmaking part about social media : should I increase the effort and how?
In conclusion, I think that the best recipe today is a mix of pure social media analytics tools (like Sprout Social or SocialBakers) + a web analytics tool such as Google Analytics (for conversions and global view of your traffic) + others peripherics tools.

Your website is dying for a revamp, redesign? You need to determine the most suitable web structure? The navigation of your site is overloaded? Looking for a way to improve the user experience on your website? …
Internal opinions about those questions can be overwhelming and if you do not want to end up in warfare or to be compelled to bow to the opinion of the HIPPO, a different methodology from internal brainstorming is advised.
Have you tried the card sorting methodology ? If not, here’s why you should give it a try:
# 1: This is a user-oriented methodology
# 2: It’s simple and inexpensive to implement
# 3: It’s recognized and reliable: if Jakob Nielsen, says …
# 4: It’s fun (yes, that’s an argument:)!)
What is the methodology of card sorting?
The process involves users to sort a series of cards, each labeled with a piece of content, into groups that make sense to them.
This methodology leads you to understand the organisation of your content as it should be according to your final users – of course you should not just copy/paste the results, but you should get inspiration from there and it will give you a overview of how the user will use your site, for real. Also, this technique will allow you to test the labels/your copy and improve the degree of understanding of your testers.
How does card sorting work? Two methods:
– Open Card Sorting: users by group of 5 are given cards showing site content with no pre-established groupings, no notion of primary architecture of the site.
– Closed Card Sorting: users by group of 5 are given cards showing site content with the primary architecture of the site.
The choice between these two methods will depend on first your goals then the progress of your project. For example if your are creating a new a website, I would tend to stay open and then use closed technique to increase accuracy and regarding redesign or addition of new categories, I would opt for the closed technique.
The implementation of the test:
# 15 people (Card Sorting: How Many Users to Test), 3 groups of 5
# Test labels before testing architecture
# 30 has 100 cards
# Moderation is to keep in mind: do not allow a participant to take the lead over the others, ensure that each user can say what they want to say…
# Analysis of the test is time-consuming but to be taken seriously

[:en] It is interesting to notice that some CRO (conversion rate optimization) specialists see their future / pitch to convince in a battle against the acquisition (PPC, Dispaly, affiliate network…). I often read that the acquisition is a “waste of money, useless spending to gain traffic not even targeted!”
I have a tendancy to think that we are complementary and certainly not in opposition, it is nevertheless true that it is discouraging to know that most of the spending is focused in acquisition (PPC for ex.) and that conversion is still misknown at this time and set aside …
I think the keyword here is misknown and here is an illustration + whitepaper, that through my point of view, helps to clarify this debate.
