			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>In our 16th episode we discuss monitoring and measuring results of social media marketing campaigns using free tools like bit.ly and Google Analytics. We cover three aspects in social media measurement &#8211; goals, tracking, and analytics.</p>
<p><strong>Goals</strong><br />
Measurement is easier when you have goals defined up front. In this episode we discuss a few types of goals and which should be the most important.</p>
<p><strong>Tracking</strong><br />
Link Tracking and keyword tracking are an important aspect in social media measurement. We discuss a few of the tools we use to make this easier.</p>
<p><strong>Analytics</strong><br />
Analytics is important in any types of online measurement &#8211; especially social media measurement. We discuss how to use Google Analytics to track social media marketing progress and effectiveness in converting traffic to leads and sales.</p>
