What is Empire Avenue?

Empire Avenue is a social metrics platform that allows its users to connect all of their Social Media profiles in one location. Think of it as the tree trunk, with your social networks representing the branches. When the trunk grows larger, so does the rest of the tree.

After linking your accounts, Empire Avenue compiles data from each individual network based on your activity, your audience, and the interaction they have with your content.

Once your scores are calculated, you will receive a network rating from 1-100. These ratings represent your true measure of influence on each network, and serve as an excellent barometer on where you should focus your efforts and where you’re strongest.






So there’s a Stock Market, too?

Yes, and it’s the best part of Empire Avenue! Much like the real Stock Market, users are able to invest in you through the purchase of shares, as if you were a real company. The acquisitions are made with Empire Avenue’s virtual currency, “Eaves.”

How much will they have to spend to purchase my shares?

The Share Price is how much someone will pay, in Eaves, to purchase a single share in you. The price is calculated based on your online activity in your Top 5 connected networks, as well as how frequently users buy and sell your shares.

Each individual profile has a trend line documenting the user’s 30-day share price, as well as the daily dividend payouts to help investors make wise decisions. You will also have access to a detailed analysis of your portfolio to help you monitor your own investments.






How are dividends calculated?

Dividends are perhaps the most heavily-weighted factor in determining whether or not a user will invest in you. They need incentive, and that incentive usually lies in the daily payouts they will receive as a shareholder.

The three factors used in calculating your dividend payouts are your daily activities, the reaction of your audience, and your network scores.

As a reward for your daily engagement, your dividend payouts will rise, thus making you more appealing to potential investors, which will ultimately increase your revenue when they purchase shares.


How will Empire Avenue benefit me?

What Empire Avenue helps you achieve is far beyond the simple accumulation of virtual wealth. When people invest in you, what they’re really doing is initiating a potentially valuable online relationship.

Empire Avenue manages to combine every major social network, and has established a community whose primary focus is on engagement. These mutual relationships lead to more retweets, likes, shares, pluses, and pins for everyone involved. If you’ve been sleeping for the past few months, that means drastically increased SEO for your blog or website, and who doesn’t want that?

What else can I do with my virtual currency?

More SEO, please! Empire Avenue allows you to setup custom “missions” to get your content found. A mission is the equivalent of paying someone to “like” a link, or to share it to their Facebook wall, only instead of real money we’re using Eaves.

Did you write a new article that you want others to pin to Pinterest? Create a mission for it. Do you have a new website that you want people to +1? Create a mission for it. Retweet a tweet? I think you know where I’m going with this. The possibilities for running missions are endless, and you’re only limited by how much content you actually want shared. Below is an example of the results generated when searching for missions using "Google+" as your keyword:

What’s the verdict?

With Empire Avenue, the world finally has what it’s been waiting for: the glue that holds all of your social networks together with the added benefit of increased SEO. They don’t call it “Social Media Rocket Fuel” for nothing!

Understanding Traffic Sources Using Google Analytics

Understanding Traffic Sources Using Google Analytics

 Justin Matthew

You don’t have to be a born statistician or a mathematician to understand the importance of Google Analytics. Many of us install the code snippet into our websites at the suggestion of others, but don’t really know what we’re looking at, why we’re looking at it, or the importance of the figures in front of us.

Here are 5 posts from This blog and page views

Today, I want to bring up a key point about your traffic sources and how important the information actually is. It extends beyond just daily unique visits. If you look at your website figures close enough, you can almost hear Google whispering advice on how to get higher quality traffic. No, really.

Traffic Sources

Your traffic sources may be the best way to determine the effectiveness of your campaigns. Even better, the numbers will give you some insight as to where you should allocate most of your efforts. Here’s a quick screenshot of the traffic sources for one
of my many blogs.


The experienced users will be able to see some good and bad things about the numbers above. Note the rows I’ve highlighted.
If all I cared about were visits, then you would probably tell me to focus all my efforts on Pinterest, and it makes sense.

 Pinterest is responsible for bringing 9,009 people to my website, but there’s more to the picture here. Take a look at the bounce rate from my Pinterest referrals. It’s currently sitting at 93.33%.

Bounce Rate - Represents the percentage of visitors who enter the site and "bounce" (leave the site) rather than continue viewing other pages within the same site. --Wikipedia
Suddenly Pinterest isn’t looking so hot, and it could be for various reasons. 

My site contains lengthy articles, and that’s basically it. Pinterest users are primarily concerned with visually stimulating imagery, so when they click a link to my website and find out they’ve just crash-landed on a 1,200 word article, they back out. You can tell most of them back out quickly, too. Average visit duration is low at only 25 seconds. This is Google’s way of telling me to focus my attention elsewhere.

Now, this doesn’t mean Pinterest users hate reading. It just means they would rather pin images, instead. I don’t take offense to that.
Here’s another example from the traffic sources chart: I frequently share my articles on Google Plus, and it seems to be an effective strategy. Although it’s not in the same atmosphere as Pinterest in terms of the volume it’s generated for me (155 visits versus 9,009 visits), it’s higher quality traffic for my purposes. Let me explain.
For my Google+ shares, the bounce rate is hovering around average at 54.19%, much improved over the 93.33% I was getting from Pinterest. The average visit duration is also much higher at 3 minutes and 49 seconds, over 9 times greater than what I was receiving from my Pinterest clicks. Even better, 61.94% of the users are new visits. 

You always want new visits, and Pinterest was showing 98.12% under new visits, but the lower percentage means that I’m actually getting some return visits from Google Plus. Return visits are a good thing. That means people like the content!
