MethodologyAudience DefinitionsAudiences are defined by idenGfying sites that exhibit strong contextual relaGonships and/or are visited by users with shared affiniGes. This set of sites consists of locaGons that most effecGvely capture the audience engaging around topics within a specified domain. Defining an audience allows Networked Insights to reduce the noise prevalent in social media, including spam and duplicate data, allowing for idenGficaGon of true insights. Conversation MetricKeywords and phrases are used to categorize topics and themes that appear in social media conversaGons on blogs, forums, microblogs and social networking sites. Categories are idenGfied by Networked Insights’ proprietary Topic Discovery Engine (TDE) in conjuncGon with analysis from our social media analyGcs team. Once individual topics have been isolated, TDE is used to discover sub-‐themes, and various metrics (post volume, impressions, senGment, etc.) are provided as needed for each topic. ImpressionsImpressions are a calculaGon of the number of social menGons of a product/brand that visitors to social networking sites, forums, blogs and microblogs were exposed to. Impressions provide an esGmaGon of how social media are consumed, are a way to account for the vast majority of social media users who do not actually create posts, and enable us to look beyond post counts to gain a be_er understanding of how much social reach a topic truly has. Impressions are a passive measurement tool and do not necessarily demonstrate engagement. As with other basic metrics, it is important to layer themaGc insights upon impressions in order to understand what drives the conversaGon and what acGons are required. SentimentKeywords are used to describe brands and products. Each keyword is defined by Boolean-‐search strings tuned to accurately capture volume of conversaGon. RaGngs of posiGve, negaGve and neutral are assigned to a random sample of posts in order to gauge the senGment for a given keyword. Topic DiscoveryA mathemaGcal approach is used to understand what themes drive conversaGon. Advanced clustering technology extracts the key sub-‐themes expressed in the content related to a keyword. A qualitaGve analysis is included to expose what is really driving theconversaGon and how different sub-‐themes interconnect. © 2011 Networked Insights
