Appendix A. KPIs for the Four Types of Site
At the start of this book, we looked at the many metrics you can track in order to understand your online presence. Those metrics you track and how you weigh them is your monitoring mix. Recall that there are four site archetypes: media, transaction, collaboration, and SaaS. The one that you’re running dictates which metrics and KPIs matter most to you. Table A-1 shows how important each element of the monitoring mix is to each type of site.
