In order to better understand the impact of your social media strategy, the new Google Social Plugins can help you measure the impact of each plugin. Special coding is required. With the social plugins you can measure the following.
If you are using the new version you will see the Social Engagement on the left nav. However it won’t report actual engagement unless you install the social plug in code.The advantage of the new code is that it will tell you1)Social Engagement: how website behavior changes for visits that include clicks on the +1 button or other social actions. So the quality and value of the traffic you are generating from social engagement. Does it behave differently?2) Social Actions, lets you analyze the number +1’s, tweets, Facebook likes, shares etc.3) Social Pages report allows you to compare the pages on your site to see which are driving the highest number of social actions. WOW so cool to help drive strategy moving forward.
