Social Media Metrics For Dummies Paperback – June 13, 2012

As long as social media has been around...anyone working in or using metrics can tell you they're constantly changing. This book was purchased just after it's release and has helped me with using and interpreting the metric systems my company currently uses and others to use for potential gain/trial and error. It's been a great asset, though in time could be outdated. Warning for the potential buyers...know what you're looking for and if this could help you. It's cheap and not a big loss if it isn't helpful to you.

Despite up and down reviews on various 'books for dummies' I always find them to be fairly solid and heavy with information and this book is no different. A lot of information packed into this volume that help you to build a foundation in social media metrics with which you can use to venture out online to dig up additional information. Definitely a must if you want to a good solid start to metrics.

I bought this books so I could "talk the talk" at a new job and it did the trick. As usual "dummy" books are easy to read and find what you need. A good reference book when I have a "dumb" question.

Another great book in a great series. Even if you are not a novice, this series is outstanding because it is filled with references and pointers to great resources!
