11. Measurement Framework 1:
Content Marketing ROI mittels Page Value
Page Value (Google Analytics):
The average value for a page that a user visited before landing on the goal
page or completing an Ecommerce transaction (or both).
This value is intended to give you an idea of which page in your site
contributed more to your site’s revenue.
Wichtig: Segmente erstellen und Seiten mit Seiten aus demselben Bereich
miteinander vergleichen. (Blog Posts mit Blog Posts und nicht mit
Kontakt- oder Informations-Seiten)

12. Wie wird Page Value berechnet?
www.amazeemetrics.com
Page Value = Transaction Revenue + Total Goal Value
Unique Pageviews for the page
Page Value = 100 + 10 = 110
