If one of the strategic goals of your social program is to increase traffic to your
organization’s website or blog, measure referrals from your social activity.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS: TRACK YEAR-OVER-YEAR TRENDS
Referrals from Facebook.com
Adjust the Google Analytics
timeframe to compare your social
media referrals to the past.
This example shows that for the
current year (in blue), referrals from
Facebook.com are up 83% from the
same period in the previous year.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS: MEASURE NEW VISITORS
Referrals from Twitter.com
If a strategic goal of your social
program is to increase new visitors to
your website or blog, use Google
Analytics to measure that.
During a spike in referrals from a social
channel like Twitter, measure the new
visitors to your website. In this
example, 78% of visitors to the website
were new (normally it’s 34%).

GOOGLE ANALYTICS: CREATE ADVANCED SEGMENT
The easiest way to see all social media referrals to your website or blog is
to setup an Advanced Segment in Google Analytics. Add a “Source”
dimension for each social network you want to track, then filter by this
segment when running reports.
