The long and short
of writing for the Web
Nilagia McCoy | Communications Manager
Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy
37
How to:
• Structure task-oriented pages (short)
• Structure long, dense content (long)
• Improve the writing on your website
38
Task-oriented pages
• Types of pages:
• Events
• Information about a program
• Applications
• Signing up for a service
• Goals:
• Help visitors find what they need easily
• Help visitors understand what you offer/their options
39Image credit:XKCD http://xkcd.com/773/
40
Before you start writing…
• Step into your users’ shoes
• Who is the audience for this page?
• Why are they visiting?
• What information do they need?
• What questions are they likely to have?
• What tasks do they need to accomplish?
• How familiar are they with your organization?
• Make an outline, then fill in information
• What should be on the page to answer the user’s questions?
• Break content into chunks based on topic/group related
content
41
Use the inverted pyramid
Crucial information your visitor must have
for message to be successful.
Who? What? Where? When? Why? How?
Additional important details,
supporting information
Other general info,
nice to have
42
43
Make processes clear and use calls
to action
44
45
46
Longform content
• Types of pages:
• Research
• Reports and papers
• News articles
Goals:
• Promote the work of your organization
• Keep people engaged
47
48
Tips for making hard facts easy reading
• Focus on the impact up front – why is this important? Why
should I read it?
• Translate jargon for the reader.
• Avoid blocks of numbers, and place numbers into context.
• Use charts or graphs to convey numerical information.
• Slow down the pace of information – avoid overstuffed
sentences.
• Use shorter words, shorter sentences, shorter paragraphs at
the points of greatest complexity.
• Make the strange familiar – use metaphors or analogies.
• Keep the dull parts short – is the level of detail needed right
here, right now? Especially for research, can it be an
endnote/footnote?

Passive Active
A statement was released by the Dean. The Dean released a statement.
In the event that it snows, the
weather emergency hotline should
be called prior to coming to campus.
If it snows, call the weather emergency
hotline before coming to campus.
Use active voice

61
Before After
The Department of Rocket Science offers
students very small class sizes and a unique
approach to learning. Vague
Classes at the The Department of Rocket
Science have 12 or fewer students. They are
discussion-based, and include labs that allow
students to explore their individual interests.
Use details, not vague adjectives
62
Can your audience easily understand your
content?
• Measure the readability of your website: Microsoft Word or
http://www.read-able.com/
• Metrics gauge long sentences, passive sentence structure,
complicated words, pegged to U.S. grade levels
• 6th-9th grade: Ideal for any audience
• Up to 12th grade: Assumes audience has high school
education, appropriate for more specialized pages, research
• Over 12th grade: Revisit – may be too difficult to easily
understand, likely has clarity/sentence structure issues.

open rate for emails in our sector (non-profit, education)
Step 1: Assess the problem
Welcome to List Management Hell
● Using (mostly) 4 entirely separate lists (newsletter, events,
reports, jobs)
● Buried among many other active, outdated, & defunct
lists
● No mechanism for detecting overlap between lists
● No system for clearing bounces
● Unsubscribing was nearly impossible
Trapped in an outdated template
Negatives:
● coded in html every week
● time consuming
● error-prone
● totally limited by
outdated template
● not mobile-friendly
Postives (sort of):
● We had thousands of
subscribers… but did they
engage with the content?
Impossible to gauge impact or success
No metrics???

whole idea of the assumed
permanence of social media? What if
social media, in all its varieties, was
differently oriented to time by
promoting temporariness by design?
What would the various social media
sites look like if ephemerality was the
default and permanence, at most, an
option?” Nathan Jorgensen, Researcher, Snapchat

Dark

A data landscape
is a way to graph
your access to and
understanding of
various data sets
as an analyst
in a certain situation.

What’s your situation?
Typical data analyst
questions:
★ What are the business
objectives?
★ How can data support them?
★ Where is the data stored?
★ How was it collected?
CRAP!
...is what you say when you don’t have a clear idea of what you’re doing or why.
Day 1 at Harvard
Dark
Light
Far Near
Literally the only thing I had
access to when I started
Never used these before
...and find your place in it.
Harvard Public Affairs and
Communications manages and
facilitates the University's relationships
with neighboring communities; local,
state, and federal government; the
media; and the general public. HPAC
advances information and
communications related to the
University's mission of excellence in
teaching, learning, and research
through a variety of managed channels
and other means including the
University's homepage, the Harvard
Gazette, and Harvard's Information
Center.
HPAC works to
tell the Harvard
story.
As the digital
analyst I
measure how
we tell it.
Start with the mission...
What’s your
situation?
Typical data analyst
questions:
✓ What are the business
objectives?
★ How can data support them?
★ Where is the data stored?
★ How was it collected?
How can data support lofty mission
statements?
Metrics are numbers that
tell you how many
★ Impressions and pageviews
loosely measure audience size
and interest
★ Clicks, shares, bounce rate, time
on page, and scroll depth
measure engagement
Dimensions are text that
tells you how, who, where,
or what
★ Channel, source, medium,
share, retweet, etc. = how
★ Age, gender, interest,
employment class, affiliation, etc.
= who
★ Geolocation = where
★ Page, post, item, url = what
Desktop vs Mobile browsers, 2010–2016
The metric is sessions, the dimension is browser platform:
desktop, mobile, and tablet (not pictured).
This data supports the mission by informing HPAC leadership,
staff, and constituents (y’all) about an important trend with
huge implications
Your situation
is improving
Typical data analyst
questions:
✓ What are the business
objectives?
✓ How can data support them?
★ Where is the data stored?
★ How was it collected?
Identify where data is stored
Create a list of your data sources:
★ Websites
○ Google Analytics
★ Email Campaign Providers
○ Silverpop, MailChimp, Constant
Contact, Emma, etc.
★ Social Media Accounts
○ Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn,
Instagram, etc.
★ Multimedia Repositories
○ YouTube, Vimeo, Kaltura,
Soundcloud, etc.
Then graph each one:
★ Your access to the data (near/far)
○ Near—data that you have
access to (login credentials)
○ Far—data you would have to
request from someone else
★ Your understanding of the data
(light/dark)
○ Light—you know what the data
means, how it was collected,
transformed, etc.
○ Dark—you’re not exactly sure
what it is or how to use it
Identity confirmed: data analyst
An analyst can use a
data landscape
to better understand
her current situation
and where she can
make improvements
in her data analysis
What do you pay attention
to?
Websites
★ Harvard Homepage, Gazette
News site
Social Media Accounts
★ Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn,
Instagram, Google+
Multimedia Accounts
★ YouTube, Kaltura, iTunesU,
SoundCloud, Giphy
Email
★ Daily Gazette, President &
University- wide emails
How do you pay
attention to it?
Web
★Google Tag Manager,
Analytics, and Search Console
★Chartbeat (real-time stats)
★Moz and other SEO tools
Email
★Silverpop
★Litmus
Social and Multimedia
★Platform-specific
analytics/insights (directly from
Facebook, Twitter, YouTube,
SoundCloud, etc.)
★Hootsuite Analytics
★Buzzsumo (social listening)
★TweetDeck
How do you pay
attention to it?
Back to your
situation
Typical data analyst
questions:
✓ What are the business
objectives?
✓ How can data support them?
✓ Where is the data stored?
★ How was it collected?
The analyst
graphs data sets
on both a near/far
axis and a
dark/light axis to
inventory where
it is and how it
can be used
The graph
Dark
Light
Far Near
But how was the data
collected?
Analytics Ecosystem
1) Content Generation
Articles are published on the Harvard
Gazette site: news.harvard.edu/gazette.
● Some pieces are featured on the
harvard.edu homepage
● The Daily Gazette email links to
certain articles and events
● Social media posts also link to
articles, and create third party
sharing opportunities
2) Data Collection
User interactions create data points in multiple
platforms and tools.
● Silverpop tracks email open and
clickthrough rates
● Tag Manager sends data to Analytics
which tracks user counts, sessions,
pageviews, and time-on-page
● Chartbeat also tracks real-time
engagement, and scroll depth
● Hootsuite provides social media analytics:
shares, likes, retweets, favorites, etc.
● Buzzsumo is used for social media
listening, brand mentions, organic share
counts, and competitive analysis
DATA ANALYTICS
Analytics Ecosystem
3) Data Analysis
Reports are generated from these sources and
insights are shared with the team.
● A daily afternoon report tracking the
success of the morning’s Gazette email
● A weekly report of selected Gazette
content activity (pageviews, shares, social
actions)
● An in-depth monthly report with highlights
of the harvard.edu homepage, Gazette
(web & email), Multimedia, Social, and
Mobile
● Ad-hoc reports as needed
DATA ANALYTICS
Analytics Ecosystem
Sample Report
Data points we look at
Web
Chartbeat: real-time dashboard
concurrent users and engaged time
per page
referrers and specific tweets bringing
us traffic
Google Analytics: historical information
on traffic, behavior, and usage
users, sessions, pageviews, pages-
per-session, bounce rate
session/page duration averages
event tracking for measuring
interaction
Social
Platform-specific tools (native
Twitter Analytics, Facebook
Insights, etc.)
Hootsuite: integrates and
aggregates Twitter, Facebook,
LinkedIn, and Google
Analytics
Buzzsumo: primarily for social
listening and measuring social
shares across several
platforms
● competitive analysis and
comparison
● trending content reports
Multimedia
Youtube: view percentage reports,
demographics, traffic sources, and
audience retention
Kaltura: plays, minutes viewed, avg. view
time, player impressions, ratio, view
drop-off
Soundcloud: plays, likes, comments,
reposts, downloads
iTunes (Harvard Mobile app): app store
views, units, sessions, active devices,
crashes
Google Play: installs/uninstalls by
user/device, ratings, crashes
Email
Silverpop: email marketing
platform
unique open and
clickthrough rates for
email
trending content reports
Litmus: email preview testing
Data points we look at
The next frontier
What’s next for HPAC analytics
Today’s graph...
Dark
Light
Far Near
...becomes tomorrow’s strategy
We added “report builder” to
our Chartbeat account which
gives us access to our account
history and gives us a greater
understanding of the data
Chartbeat API will give better
access to the data and will
allow us to integrate this tool
with others like Google
Analytics
Room for improvement
Investigate Quality of Stats
● What affects the quality of
information per platform?
● Bogus accounts in Silverpop (or
Spam filters) that click on all
links
● Users who delete cookies

  • 195. What is a data landscape?
  • 197. A data landscape is a way to graph your access to and understanding of various data sets as an analyst in a certain situation.
  • 198. an analyst in a certain situation.
  • 199. ★ Context ★ Relavance ★ Access ★ Procedure C R A P What’s your situation? Typical data analyst questions: ★ What are the business objectives? ★ How can data support them? ★ Where is the data stored? ★ How was it collected?
  • 200. CRAP! ...is what you say when you don’t have a clear idea of what you’re doing or why.
  • 201. Day 1 at Harvard Dark Light Far Near Literally the only thing I had access to when I started Never used these before
  • 202. ...and find your place in it. Harvard Public Affairs and Communications manages and facilitates the University's relationships with neighboring communities; local, state, and federal government; the media; and the general public. HPAC advances information and communications related to the University's mission of excellence in teaching, learning, and research through a variety of managed channels and other means including the University's homepage, the Harvard Gazette, and Harvard's Information Center. HPAC works to tell the Harvard story. As the digital analyst I measure how we tell it. Start with the mission...
  • 203. What’s your situation? Typical data analyst questions: ✓ What are the business objectives? ★ How can data support them? ★ Where is the data stored? ★ How was it collected?
  • 204. How can data support lofty mission statements? Metrics are numbers that tell you how many ★ Impressions and pageviews loosely measure audience size and interest ★ Clicks, shares, bounce rate, time on page, and scroll depth measure engagement Dimensions are text that tells you how, who, where, or what ★ Channel, source, medium, share, retweet, etc. = how ★ Age, gender, interest, employment class, affiliation, etc. = who ★ Geolocation = where ★ Page, post, item, url = what
  • 205. Desktop vs Mobile browsers, 2010–2016 The metric is sessions, the dimension is browser platform: desktop, mobile, and tablet (not pictured). This data supports the mission by informing HPAC leadership, staff, and constituents (y’all) about an important trend with huge implications
  • 206. Your situation is improving Typical data analyst questions: ✓ What are the business objectives? ✓ How can data support them? ★ Where is the data stored? ★ How was it collected?
  • 207. Identify where data is stored Create a list of your data sources: ★ Websites ○ Google Analytics ★ Email Campaign Providers ○ Silverpop, MailChimp, Constant Contact, Emma, etc. ★ Social Media Accounts ○ Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc. ★ Multimedia Repositories ○ YouTube, Vimeo, Kaltura, Soundcloud, etc. Then graph each one: ★ Your access to the data (near/far) ○ Near—data that you have access to (login credentials) ○ Far—data you would have to request from someone else ★ Your understanding of the data (light/dark) ○ Light—you know what the data means, how it was collected, transformed, etc. ○ Dark—you’re not exactly sure what it is or how to use it
  • 208. Identity confirmed: data analyst An analyst can use a data landscape to better understand her current situation and where she can make improvements in her data analysis
  • 209. What do you pay attention to? Websites ★ Harvard Homepage, Gazette News site Social Media Accounts ★ Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google+ Multimedia Accounts ★ YouTube, Kaltura, iTunesU, SoundCloud, Giphy Email ★ Daily Gazette, President & University- wide emails
  • 210. How do you pay attention to it? Web ★Google Tag Manager, Analytics, and Search Console ★Chartbeat (real-time stats) ★Moz and other SEO tools Email ★Silverpop ★Litmus
  • 211. Social and Multimedia ★Platform-specific analytics/insights (directly from Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, SoundCloud, etc.) ★Hootsuite Analytics ★Buzzsumo (social listening) ★TweetDeck How do you pay attention to it?
  • 212. Back to your situation Typical data analyst questions: ✓ What are the business objectives? ✓ How can data support them? ✓ Where is the data stored? ★ How was it collected?
  • 213. The analyst graphs data sets on both a near/far axis and a dark/light axis to inventory where it is and how it can be used
  • 215. But how was the data collected?
  • 216. Analytics Ecosystem 1) Content Generation Articles are published on the Harvard Gazette site: news.harvard.edu/gazette. ● Some pieces are featured on the harvard.edu homepage ● The Daily Gazette email links to certain articles and events ● Social media posts also link to articles, and create third party sharing opportunities
  • 217. 2) Data Collection User interactions create data points in multiple platforms and tools. ● Silverpop tracks email open and clickthrough rates ● Tag Manager sends data to Analytics which tracks user counts, sessions, pageviews, and time-on-page ● Chartbeat also tracks real-time engagement, and scroll depth ● Hootsuite provides social media analytics: shares, likes, retweets, favorites, etc. ● Buzzsumo is used for social media listening, brand mentions, organic share counts, and competitive analysis DATA ANALYTICS Analytics Ecosystem
  • 218. 3) Data Analysis Reports are generated from these sources and insights are shared with the team. ● A daily afternoon report tracking the success of the morning’s Gazette email ● A weekly report of selected Gazette content activity (pageviews, shares, social actions) ● An in-depth monthly report with highlights of the harvard.edu homepage, Gazette (web & email), Multimedia, Social, and Mobile ● Ad-hoc reports as needed DATA ANALYTICS Analytics Ecosystem
  • 220. Data points we look at Web Chartbeat: real-time dashboard concurrent users and engaged time per page referrers and specific tweets bringing us traffic Google Analytics: historical information on traffic, behavior, and usage users, sessions, pageviews, pages- per-session, bounce rate session/page duration averages event tracking for measuring interaction Social Platform-specific tools (native Twitter Analytics, Facebook Insights, etc.) Hootsuite: integrates and aggregates Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google Analytics Buzzsumo: primarily for social listening and measuring social shares across several platforms ● competitive analysis and comparison ● trending content reports
  • 221. Multimedia Youtube: view percentage reports, demographics, traffic sources, and audience retention Kaltura: plays, minutes viewed, avg. view time, player impressions, ratio, view drop-off Soundcloud: plays, likes, comments, reposts, downloads iTunes (Harvard Mobile app): app store views, units, sessions, active devices, crashes Google Play: installs/uninstalls by user/device, ratings, crashes Email Silverpop: email marketing platform unique open and clickthrough rates for email trending content reports Litmus: email preview testing Data points we look at
  • 222. The next frontier What’s next for HPAC analytics
  • 224. ...becomes tomorrow’s strategy We added “report builder” to our Chartbeat account which gives us access to our account history and gives us a greater understanding of the data Chartbeat API will give better access to the data and will allow us to integrate this tool with others like Google Analytics
  • 225. Room for improvement Investigate Quality of Stats ● What affects the quality of information per platform? ● Bogus accounts in Silverpop (or Spam filters) that click on all links ● Users who delete cookies appear as “new” users in Google Analytics ● Compare stats across platforms when able to verify ● Clicks in Silverpop become Sessions in Google Analytics ● What effect if any does sampling have?
  • 226. What we wish we could do New data sources ● email: inbound tracking/volume/qualitative ● social: instagram, snapchat ● MTS/Live stream Data warehousing and integrated analytics ● automation and API integration ● one-stop source for reporting ● big data analysis tools ● predictive analytics Reporting and dashboards ● quicker and more automated reporting ● transparency ● evangelism
