> Direct Visitors: 13,400, WOM Visitors: 1,422 1. Conversions: How do RIO and Meteor counts compare to CRG's?
> Traffic increase this week was caused by Wave 4 email which brought 2600 new visitors to the site
> Traffic from "No Referrer" doubled week over week from 2500 to 5000 visitors. This reflects visitors from email usually and is consistent with the 2. Top Traffic site - tnworking.redmond.corp.microsoft.com was not available for viewing. Is this
visitor numbers we are seeing from the mtag tracking the Wave 4 email an internal site?
> Traffic from Microsoft.com remains the same week over week
> 4, new Top Traffic sites showed this week: tnworking.redmond.corp.microsoft.com, markparris.co.uk, msexchangeteam.com & 3. MTag "VS" is beginning to drive traffic- what is this traffic source?
www.avepoint.com

2. Meteor Mtag is accurately tracking traffic from Wave 4 email!
> Over the 3 days since the email was sent in this reporting period, 2637 visitors came from the email to the site
> So far, visitors from Wave 4 email are sharing at a lower rates than the average TechEd visitor
> We expect sharing from Wave 4 to increase as users have more time to click on shared links
> We will continue to report on on this next week to see how many days it takes to drive WOM from email send date

3. Traffic from Mtag placements is up significantly but all sharing and engagement metrics are below All-time Mtag averages
> 5000 visitors came from mtags this week, 1800 last week
> Increase in visitors is due to Wave 4 Email
> Visitors from Wave 4 email drive less sharing (so far): Email created a Yield lift of 0.6%. All-Time average for Yield Lift is 8%

> Direct Traffic increased from large sources but WOM traffic did not reduce the number of inaccurate conversions. How would you like to us to check Meteor
> www.microsoft.com: /events up 3k direct visitors compared to last week numbers against RIO and CRG's?
> ATLAS/Display ads delivered 200 additional direct visitors this week and they did not contribute much WOM.
> As a result, Meteor Metric decreased week over from 13% last week to 8.9% this week 2. Sharetool clicks are available as of this report and we are collecting downstream sharin
(yield) per share icon but it is not ready to present yet. Hoping it will be ready in 1-2 week
2. All-Time 3.1% of visitors to TechEd share content. This is excellent: Meteor average is less than 1%

* This week had the single highest Meteor Metric since we started tracking: 18%! sites and a result the recent launch, correct?
* Total site traffic to the site is similar to last week, at approximately 7,200 visitors.
> WOM visitor totals were up considerably this week: 1305 vs. 818 last week! This larger number increased the overall 2. Our conversion counts for March 15-21 are high again and outside of the margin of error that we'd like

* Several new Top Referring sites popped up this week: windowsitpro.com, m.lifehacker.com and channel9.msdn.com
* Conversions from mtags basically the same week over week: 16 last week to 15 this week.
> Majority of Mtag conversions continue to come primarily from Internal placements.
* We are now picking up trafic from the mobile campaign which has delivered 93 visitors with no sharing or conversions
* Infleuncers: our top influencer this week brought in 214 new visitors to TechEd thanks partially to his post on Microsoft
Student Lounge site

Recommendations:
1. Our top influencer brought in 214 new visitors, ,several of which came from the Microsoft Student Lounge! Perhaps
reaching out to the Microsoft Student site and encourage both sharing on the forum but also link to other sharing facets i.e.
individual Twitter and Facebook pages would be beneficial?

2. Reaching out to the new, Microsoft-based Top Traffic sites and mentiong the benefit their posting/support of TechEd
made(i.e. It Pro, Channel 9 and Student Lounge).

66% All-Time compared to last week's All-Time of 25%
> Featued Speakers knocked out the former front-runner the TechEd home page (formerly holding an 80% Meteor Metric for two
weeks).
* Sharing data now availble on specific speakers: Shannon Bray and Ted Neward were shared but no visitors came to Laura Chappelle's
page from a shared link. Traffic was relatively low on these pages: 5 visitors or less per page.
* Very little change in the actual referring sites this week with the exception of new site blog.imanami.com - a certified Microsoft
partner who is offering a chance to win a free pass to TechEd in exchnage for providing contact info. Looks to be a leadgen vehicle for
them.
* Traffic from Microsoft.com to TechEd was down significantly this week, accounting for most of the 30% visitor drop week over week.
* Both Yield Conversions and Direct Conversions from Mtags increased this week. 11:5 (direct:yield) vs. 5:0 last week
> like last week, all mtag conversions came from internal placements
* Infleuncers: our top influencer this week posted a shared link on MSDN and brought in 449 new visitors to TechEd
* See screen grab of Imanami Blog site which is a new traffic source as well

Recommendations:
1. Reach out to the Imanami site and thank them for the link on their blog
2. Determine why traffic from Microsoft.com dropped this week. Utilize Meteor data to go back to Microsoft.com stakeholders to see if
that can be reversed.

* For the week of March 8-15, Meteor Metric was 12.5%, up from 11.5% in previous week sharing by page. Traffic was negligible: less than 5 visitors per page. Is this important to track?

get more data from the new pixel.

> The Nightlife page was also shared heavily with a 80% Meteor Metric this week, up from 14% last week
>>Your techEd audience is registered and ready to party!
* Top Referring sites all-time and this week have not changed significantly
* We did deeper analysis this week of the sites from the Microsoft.com domain that are driving traffic to
TechEd
> www.microsoft.com/events/techednorthamerica/ is the Microsoft.com site that is driving the most
visitors to TechEd: 21k directly, plus a yield of almost 1300 more
> www.microsoft.com/techedonline/drove the 2nd highest number of visitors with 324. Big falloff
between /events and /techedonline
> Overall traffic to TechEd from Microsoft.com is growing steadily week over week, with a large increase
in March
* The only conversions this week from Mtags came from Internal Microsoft traffic sources
> New Mtag for RogerJenn is tracking as of this week. So far he has driven 8 visitors to TechEd and no
conversions.
* Infleuncers: our top influencer this week posted a shared link on the home page of the "GITCA", Global IT
Community Association, a group representing over 700 organizations and 3.7 million IT professionals.
itpro.community.officelive.com
>So far this link has brought in 16 new visitors but we expect that number to increase and will continue to
monitor.

Recommendations:
1. Reach out to the GITCA and thank them for the link & front page billing for TechEd on their homepage.
2. Continue to Increase exposure across MSCOM & other internal properties if possible - this traffic is sharing
and converting at the highest rate and evidenced in new deeper data into www.microsoft.com as a referring
site.
3. Since www.microsoft.com/events is the top driver of organic traffic to TechEd, utilize Meteor traffic
figures to prove value of this traffic and ask for more

Recommendations:
1. Reach out to Tech Ed evangelist Mark Parris and Justin.
2. Continue to Increase exposure across MSCOM & other internal properties if possible - this traffic is sharing and converting at the
highest rate.

FEBRUAY 15 - FEBRUARY 21

* Meteor Metric all-time continues to increase: 6.2% all-time, up from 5.3% last week
* For the week of Jan 15-21, Meteor Metric was 11.2% - best week ever 1. Meteor team to audit conversions in our system and remove duplicates once all data is transferred from V1
* Steady increase in MM can be seen as of Feb 19 when Wave 3 email went out to V2
* Best single day MM was on Feb 20th when 23% of all traffic to the site came form a shared link - 382 WOM 2. Once this is done, Anne will request a conversion tally by day from Sonja so we can validate the Meteor
visitors on the 20th alone conversion data
* Conversion rates for all visitors decreased for the first time last week 3. Test new conversion pixel sent on 2-26 as soon as they are live
* We frequently see conversion rates decline temporarily during times of increased traffic - conversions tend to
grow again over time as influx of new users have the chance to convert
> WOM conversion rate decreased week over week from 8.4% to 4.0% the week of Jan 15-21
> Direct conversion rate decreased from 7.4% to 6.2%
* Sharing rates on specific content pages remained consistent or dropped slightly week over week
> Spread the Word is the only page to get an increase of WOM visitors week over week
* Last week as in all previous weeks, visitors from Microsoft.com, Google and Bing brought back the most visitors to
TechEd from sharing (WOM influence)
* Display media continues to drive the most visitors in total counts to TechEd, but Internal and Social tactics are
both driving more WOM visitors and conversions

Lowlights:
1. Wave 3 email tracking did not capture activity from the email specifically - we can see WOM growth in the agregate
visitor counts from Feb 19 forward, but we can not drill down to see exactly how many visitors came from the Feb 19
email
2. Upgrade to Meteor V2 has been bumpy

Recommendations:
1. Reach out to Tech Ed evangelist AppAssure via Hootsuite
2. Continue to Increase exposure across MSCOM & other internal properties if possible - this traffic is sharing and
converting at the highest rates

Recommendations:

1. Reach out to Tech Ed evangelists who are promoting the event on Twitter and Facebook (examples at the bottom)
2. Increase exposure across MSCOM & other internal properties if possible - this traffic is sharing and converting at
the highest rates
3. Bloggers and Tech Influencers seem to be missing from top referring sites list. Consider increased outreach efforts
to reach this critical segment and let them advocate for you

JANUARY 14 - JANUARY 24

Highlights: TO DO / Questions:

* Meteor Metric is 3.9% all-time. 1. Pixel placed twiced - has this been remedied?
* 534 visiotors came to TechEd from link that was shared with them. 2. Email for Wave 2 > Wave 3 tags
* More sharing happens Mon-Fri, when audience is at work - large fall off on weekends 3. Meteor V2 > New code, url shortener, training
* Audience coming to TechEd site from social sites (Twitter & Facebook) share more frequently - are more engaged 4. Email subject line is off still when users share via email using share tool
* Search engines creating significant WoM influence (coming in 2nd and 3rd to www.microsoft.com). 5. What is the traffic difference between MSCOM and MSCOM, Newsletter?
* Conversion rate for WOM Visitors is increasing, but still lower than conversion rate from Direct Visitors...for now 6. Are Facebook and Linked in Mtags being used? Results are not be recorded for these.
* 11% of visiotors to home page came from a shared link (386 of 3304)
* The registration page saw the most visitors as an entrance page, but these users are not sharing this page frequently

Recommendations:

1. Continue inviting guests to join Facebook and Twitter accounts - these users sahre the most frequently.
2. Continue to update content frequently - current content is compelling and vibrant across owned assets and social assets
3. Implement V2 Dashboard for real-time earned media results.
4. Too early to optimize paid media - it is driving little engagement: sharing or conversions
5. Consider optimizing content based on most-shared pages results > wait to collect another week or two of data
