Visitors & Interest

It has been great to see the interest in the SE Topic. I have been collating thoughts on my next post which I hope to write over the weekend (and ideally be a bit shorter). I am debating whether to post on Sales Enablement Framework or Metrics – Measuring the Success of the SE team.

In the meantime I wanted to share some thoughts on metrics as related to the topic of SE Leadership. I am new to the whole Blogging thing but I am impressed already by its reach and as a data nerd I find the stats behind it pretty interesting. I created two sites, http://hollyhockvineyard.com and http://sethoughts.com and here are some observations:

The vineyard site has a broad appeal (it is about wine and vineyards) and has had almost 3 times as many views as SE Thoughts
The SE site has had about 5x more people subscribe to updates. Is that attributable to long term interest or better positioning of the subscribe widget?
Linkedin.com has led to 10x the number of click throughs vs. my Twitter accounts (@robilium and @hollyhockvines). What does that say about twitter and my 548 followers there?
Many more people on Facebook like Wine vs. SE stuff 🙂
About 500 people have visited each site for a total of 1,000 visitors. Depending on your viewpoint that is a lot of people or just a drop in the bucket. To me it is very cool and motivating. That makes me want to see if I can keep the interest up and people returning for more.
500 people per topic are about 499 more people than I thought may be interested. Or maybe 498 as I figure my mother in law would have read it as well. I know my lovely wife Julie wouldn’t have read it as she has to listed to me blab about this stuff enough as it is! 🙂
