Measurement challenges.

Page 11: CSforum2011 London Marko Hurst-ProveContentValue

The value of measuring your content is only realized when it

provides insights.

(And it makes “quant jocks” very happy).

Page 12: CSforum2011 London Marko Hurst-ProveContentValue

What is content?

Page 13: CSforum2011 London Marko Hurst-ProveContentValue

“Content” means different things

to different people.

Page 14: CSforum2011 London Marko Hurst-ProveContentValue

• Controlled vocabulary • Synonym ring

• Glossary • Tagging system

• Metadata schema • Thesaurus

• Metadata specification • Taxonomy

• Ontology • User profile data

It’s things ‘behind the scene’.

It’s things you interact with.

Page 17: CSforum2011 London Marko Hurst-ProveContentValue

So, what content types can you measure? All of it.

The question then becomes, “how”

Yet when it comes to measurement today,

most people still ask the same question they did

17 years ago…

Page 24: CSforum2011 London Marko Hurst-ProveContentValue

What, why, and how the fuck am I

supposed to measure this…?

Different answers and different approaches isn’t

bad.Lack of consistent insights is.

35.

Page 36: CSforum2011 London Marko Hurst-ProveContentValue

Which begs the question,“why”?

Page 37: CSforum2011 London Marko Hurst-ProveContentValue

Unfortunately, its not a simple answer.

Tool selection, tool implementation, tagging, cookies, browsers, privacy rights, analyst skills,

your skills / knowledge, analysis method(s), data normalization, measurement culture, time,

budget, resources, immature industry, and many other variables all play a factor.

Tool selection, tool implementation, tagging, cookies, browsers, privacy rights, analyst skills,

your skills / knowledge, analysis method(s), data normalization, measurement culture, time,

budget, resources, immature industry, and many other variables all play a factor.

Just to keep things real, you probably have little or no input on the above.

Page 40: CSforum2011 London Marko Hurst-ProveContentValue

There is no consistent repeatable method for providing insights to a

specific problem that is understood by cross-functional teams.

This is a sign of an immature practice.

Page 41: CSforum2011 London Marko Hurst-ProveContentValue

The solution:Create a simple

predictable method that consistently delivers value.

Page 42: CSforum2011 London Marko Hurst-ProveContentValue
