Metrics – How We Love And Hate Them
Metrics. Statistics. Analytics. Tracking. If you are involved in online business you probably have come across some (or all) of those terms at some stage. If you are paying anyone to do any work for you in terms of SEO, SEM or ANY form of marketing, then YOU need to be asking about them. So [...]
