Comprendre Linkedin, le réseau social B2B En ce moment j’ai un client que j’accompagne sur sa stratégie de présence sur les médias sociaux. Il a beau être orienté B2B, son premier réflexe, comme beaucoup d’entreprises était de voir Facebook comme le réseau social sur lequel doit se positionner l’entreprise. Pourtant s’il est bien un réseau qui est orienté B2B, c’est Linkedin (il génère 4 fois plus de lead B2B que les autres réseaux sociaux, comme twitter ou Facebook).

Track where your visitors came from, and which links they clicked on, using Google Analytics. Web analytics software is essential for understanding your visitors. Despite being free, Google Analytics is surprisingly sophisticated, and it is sufficient for most websites. Recommended Resources If you want to become better at web analytics, we recommend you read Occam’s Razor, Avinash Kaushik’s blog, and his book, Web Analytics—An Hour A Day. An added bonus!
