How does an employer to monitor performance? There are tools or software that can show real ROI numbers meashure their media? Example: Google Analytics is an excellent way to identify the prevention of trafficking in line of code on your website or blog. What other tools on the market?
I use Google Analytics as a baseline approach. It gives you a lot of information. The other one I like is Quantcast.com. It gives me all sorts of weird information, such as 9% of my visitors are African American. How they arrive at that number I have no idea.

Here is a fun trick:
Posting on social networking site, post on forums, blogs, and so on it can be hard to understand how many people have actually seen the site. There is no way to gage how it’s been seen.
One way to fix this is by linking on the site to an image on your website server. by adding that image every time someone views the page it will show up on your analytics. You can even see which page.
Adding this technique to Google Analytics will help to really see the results.
