B, coldn' o a ha meaing "ime pend" i a efl meic conideing ha i ake longe o engage

The poblem i ha he ime elemen i no likel o be he deciding faco.
Conide hi fo a momen. Wha if o cold inceae he ocial effec b 20%, hile deceaing he ime
people hae o pend deciding if he an o b o podc?
One eample. Le a o add ocial eie o o podc page. And o decide o ank hem afe
poplai. Thi i likel o ceae a poiie effec on ale, becae people can no ee ha ohe people
hink.
B ha if o decided o inead ank he eie baed on o peonal connecion. Ranking hem o
ha eie b fiend, and ohe people in o ocial cicle, ae lied befoe hoe of ange.
The poplai coe old be loe, b ih a mch onge peonal connecion. People old likel
ead fee eie, h pend le ime on he page, b becae i i no a peonal ecommendaion b afiend, o coneion ae old be highe.
I i he diffeence beeen "Hmm... ha do ohe people hink" and "Ahh... m fiend j bogh hi."
Noe: Thi i ho Facebook ok.

on he ale of he ocial connecion. If ha mean people ill pend moe ime on o ie, hen ha' gea.
If i mean people going o pend le ime, hen ha' gea oo.

Thank Kahn, Glad i a efl. One big poblem ih ocial analic i ha e don'
hae ool ha meae i diecl. We ala look a omehing ele. Like hen people look
a efee o jdge ocial affic (hich fo Tie i omehing like 10-20 ime off).
Inead of figing o ha make he diffeence, people look a hee mol nelaed a
and hen conclde ha if hi a ie, i m be he cae. I almo nee i :)
...and e, aicle abo Facebook hopping coming (hi eek if eehing goe a planned)
Gea aicle, e inighfl.
The ime on ie ie ha been diced oe and oe in he eb analic ind. I old j like
o make one claificaion egading Google Analic: ime on page i no "he daion beeen page
ie" , i i he daion beeen call o Google Analic. Thoe *can* be e diffeen hing. I i
afe o ame ha ime on page i he daion beeen page ie fo a defal Google Analic
implemenaion, b man ie ae alead ing hing like Een Tacking (hich can be ed o
meae click on JS bon o AJAX ineface) o Tack Social (ack click on ocial icon) o
ohe non-defal call o Google Analic. A companie ge moe adanced in em of Analic,
hei daa ill be moe accae.
A paenhei, fo adanced implemenaion, i i poible o add a dmm een o ebie, ing a
JaaScip fncion, hich ill igge he Google Analic code ee econd. Thi old make
conen ie "ime on page" meic a moe accae.

As Daniel points out, it is possible to obtain much more accurate information about time on page if we
want it. But that would still not provide us with an insight into what the visitor to the site was thinking
at the time (obviousl!) and so the correlation sas nothing about causation.Studies like the one ou
cite are more interesting than the endless flow of surves pumped out b vendor PR departments. But
the still require the kind of thoughtful analsis ou have provided. And the seldom get it.
Thanks Tim. One thing I reall miss with analtic tools of toda is a measurement per person
over time. E.g. I'm thinking about buing a new Mac... and I have probabl visited Apple's
website 15 times over the past two months, but still haven't decided. I want to be able to
track that over time.
It is same here on Baekdal.com. It takes a ver long time to convince people to subscribe to
become Baekdal Plus subscribers - requiring most people to first become loal readers. But I
have no idea how man articles someone read, nor which ones the are, before it triggers
people into subscribing.
I onl have no. of repeat visitors and a path per session (which is often onl one article per
session).
