It's so easy to think of "web metrics" only in aggregate. It's nice to have this great framework that acknowledges the different goals for different parts of your site, as well as how to measure those goals. Thanks so much for this post!

I really do think it would be cool if there was a way to scenario test campaign strategies, too. Daniel, Indeed I do fly a Cirrus SR20. I have a couple hundred hours but have yet to take the time to get my IFR. I am tempted to do it this summer, but it may have to wait until next year. Time is tough to come by these days. Do you have your IFR ticket yet? Indeed, David, I think you’re right. I really do think it would be cool if there was a way to scenario test campaign strategies, too.

No way! I remember seeing that years ago, way back when I was subscribed to Plane and Pilot. How many hours are you at? You have the plane with the chute?! No way!

Cool! Sounds like the flight sim has some of the same goals as when we write unit tests for our code -- running things through a bunch of scenarios to make sure they behave as expected...only in this case you're the one being tested, rather than doing the testing!

Very insightful commentary on advertising's inability to really build relationships at an individual level. Social media has changed the nature of the game and dialog is now expected, just like in a relationship. I wonder is this a return to the old barter and exchange systems where there was an equitable value exchange. HMMMMM Oh yea, love it!

It can throw metrics for a loop sometimes if/when we get carried away but is important for just that reason. Looking forward to the rest of your thoughts on it! Thanks for sharing, Drew!
