		<description><![CDATA[Social Media Marketing Metrics in 2010
http://blog.slideshare.net/2009/12/28/social-media-marketing-metrics-in-2010/

As Chief Marketing Officers develop their social media marketing strategy for 2010, they are demanding business results. That’s the message from a CMO Group/Bazzarvoice survey,

In 2009, 89% of CMOs tracked social media’s impact by using standard metrics such as site traffic, pageviews, and number of fans. However, CMOs expect that in 2010 top metrics will track more closely to P&#038;L business goals––not just Web-related goals. The study forecasts the growth of adoption of the top three metrics in 2010, as follows:

* A 333% increase in tracking revenue
* A 174% increase in tracking conversion
* A 150% increase in tracking average order value]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Watch out Google and Adobe: St. Louis Small business is warming to social media. Facebook, Twitter and other forms of social media are catching up to traditional websites as a marketing mechanism for small businesses. That's the takeaway from a just released survey of 2,000 small businesses by research firm Internet2Go. That could be bad for Google (GOOG), which has a virtual monopoly on small-business online advertising, and for Adobe (ADBE), which has a real monopoly on software tools used to build websites. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Your boss says”Our competitors are stealing our customers using this social media stuff. We need to use this stuff and do it better than our competitors and we need to do it NOW!”

You are then tasked with “doing it” but you have no experience or knowledge of what to do. So you look for help and find an outside resource whom supposedly has the experience and knowledge to know what to do. You bring the option of hiring this person to your boss and they ask about the cost and what will they get from using this resource.  You tell your boss the cost but aren’t sure exactly what it is you’re going to get. Then your boss says “I know we need to do this but I don’t know what it is or what we’ll get from it”.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Social media is helping to forge a new era in business transparency and engagement, creating both new challenges and opportunities. Gone are the days when companies could rely on carefully crafted press releases or flashy ad campaigns to communicate with their customers, often in an attempt to convince people that their products are the best in the field. In the age of social media, the rules have changed radically, and people today demand a more honest and direct relationship with the companies with which they do business.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Interesting Facts:

70% to 80% of consumers’ clicks still happen within natural search results. (iCrossing). Search spending totaled more than $13.5-billion in 08, 88% of that spent on paid search/pay per click advertising. (SEMPO, Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization).

So, even though, 70%+ of traffic comes from organic search, business is only devoting 12% of its resources to that, 88% to pay-per-click. YOU can be smarter!

Knowing how to attract your ideal customers from their own active search activity gives you enormous advantage!
