  1. Who (what websites) is linking to your blog posts or website.
  2. How much traffic your website or blog is attracting (pageviews, visits, visitors).
  3. How much traffic search engines are sending to you.
  4. What keywords are being used to find your content from search engines.
  5. How much traffic is coming from other websites & blogs.
  6. How much traffic is coming from Twitter or Facebook or other social networks.
  7. How many people click on the links you send out via Twitter or Facebook or other social networks (requires URL shortener).
  8. How often people amplify your messages & posts (via sharing, retweeting, reblogging, etc.)
  9. What content or posts are the most popular.
  10. How many conversions (sales or leads) you’re getting from your marketing efforts.
