What You Get Wrong about the Internet. If you’re an average reader, I’ve got your attention for 1. We are getting a lot wrong about the web these days. We confuse what people have clicked on for what they’ve read. We mistake sharing for reading. We race towards new trends like native advertising without fixing what was wrong with the old ones and make the same mistakes all over again. Not an average reader?

Maybe you’ll give me more than 1. As the CEO of Chartbeat, my job is to work with the people who create content online (like Time. I’ve come to think that many people have got how things work online quite mixed up. Here’s where we started to go wrong: In 1. Ken Mc. Carthy came up with the clickthrough as the measure of ad performance on the web. From that moment on, the click became the defining action of advertising on the web.

The click’s natural dominance built huge companies like Google and promised a whole new world for advertising where ads could be directly tied to consumer action. However, the click had some unfortunate side effects. It flooded the web with spam, linkbait, painful design and tricks that treated users like lab rats. Where TV asked for your undivided attention, the web didn’t care as long as you went click, click, click. In 2. 0 years, everything else about the web has been transformed, but the click remains unchanged, we live on the click web. But something is happening to the click web. Spurred by new technology and plummeting click- through rates, what happens between the clicks is becoming increasingly important and the media world is scrambling to adapt.

Sites like the New York Times are redesigning themselves in ways that place less emphasis on the all- powerful click. New upstarts like Medium and Upworthy are eschewing pageviews and clicks in favor of developing their own attention- focused metrics. Native advertising, advertising designed to hold your attention rather than simply gain an impression, is growing at an incredible pace. It’s no longer just your clicks they want, it’s your time and attention.

Welcome to the Attention Web. At the core of the Attention Web are powerful new methods of capturingdata that can give media sites and advertisers a second- by- second, pixel- by- pixel view of user behavior.

If the click is the turnstile outside a stadium, these new methods are the TV control room with access to a thousand different angles. The data these methods capture provide a new window into behavior on the web and suggests that much of the facts we’ve taken for granted just ain’t true. Myth 1: We read what we’ve clicked on. For 2. 0 years, publishers have been chasing pageviews, the metric that counts the number of times people load a web page. The more pageviews a site gets, the more people are reading, the more successful the site.

Or so we thought. Chartbeat looked at deep user behavior across 2 billion visits across the web over the course of a month and found that most people who click don’t read. In fact, a stunning 5. Prison Break Saison 4 Episode 11 Streaming Movie. The stats get a little better if you filter purely for article pages, but even then one in every three visitors spend less than 1. The media world is currently in a frenzy about click fraud, they should be even more worried about the large percentage of the audience who aren’t reading what they think they’re reading. The data gets even more interesting when you dig in a little.

Editors pride themselves on knowing exactly what topics can consistently get someone to click through and read an article. They are the evergreen pageview boosters that editors can pull out at the end of the quarter to make their traffic goals. But by assuming all traffic is created equal, editors are missing an opportunity to build a real audience for their content. Our data team looked at topics across a random sample of 2 billion pageviews generated by 5.

We pulled out the most clicked- on topics and then contrasted topics that received a very high level of attention per pageview with those that received very little attention per pageview. Articles that were clicked on and engaged with tended to be actual news. In August, the best performers were Obamacare, Edward Snowden, Syria and George Zimmerman, while in January the debates around Woody Allen and Richard Sherman dominated. The most clicked on but least deeply engaged- with articles had topics that were more generic. In August, the worst performers included Top, Best, Biggest, Fictional etc while in January the worst performers included Hairstyles, Positions, Nude and, for some reason, Virginia. That’s data for you.

All the topics above got roughly the same amount of traffic, but the best performers captured approximately 5 times the attention of the worst performers. Editors might say that as long as those topics are generating clicks, they are doing their job, but that’s if the only value we see in content is the traffic, any traffic, that lands on that page. Editors who think like that are missing the long game. Research across the Chartbeat network has shown that if you can hold a visitor’s attention for just three minutes they are twice as likely to return than if you only hold them for one minute. It`S Always Sunny In Philadelphia Season 3 Episode 6. The most valuable audience is the one that comes back. Those linkbait writers are having to start from scratch every day trying to find new ways to trick clicks from hicks with the ‘Top Richest Fictional Public Companies’.

Those writers living in the Attention Web are creating real stories and building an audience that comes back. Myth 2: The more we share the more we read. As pageviews have begun to fail, brands and publishers have embraced social shares such as Facebook likes or Twitter retweets as a new currency. Social sharing is public and suggests that someone has not only read the content but is actively recommending it to other people. There’s a whole industry dedicated to promoting the social share as the sine qua non of analytics.

Caring about social sharing makes sense. You’re likely to get more traffic if you share something socially than if you did nothing at all: the more Facebook “likes” a story gets, the more people it reaches within Facebook and the greater the overall traffic. The same is true of Twitter, though Twitter drives less traffic to most sites. But the people who share content are a small fraction of the people who visit that content.

Among articles we tracked with social activity, there were only one tweet and eight Facebook likes for every 1. The temptation to infer behaviour from those few people sharing can often lead media sites to jump to conclusions that the data does not support. A widespread assumption is that the more content is liked or shared, the more engaging it must be, the more willing people are to devote their attention to it. However, the data doesn’t back that up.

We looked at 1. 0,0. When we combined attention and traffic to find the story that had the largest volume of total engaged time, we found that it had fewer than 1. Conversely, the story with the largest number of tweets got about 2. Bottom line, measuring social sharing is great for understanding social sharing, but if you’re using that to understand which content is capturing more of someone’s attention, you’re going beyond the data.

Social is not the silver bullet of the Attention Web. Myth 3: Native advertising is the savior of publishing.

Media companies, desperate for new revenue streams are turning to native advertising in droves. Brands create or commission their own content and place it on a site like the New York Times or Forbes to access their audience and capture their attention. Brands want their message relayed to customers in a way that does not interrupt but adds to the experience. However, the truth is that while the emperor that is native advertising might not be naked, he’s almost certainly only wearing a thong. On a typical article two- thirds of people exhibit more than 1.

You see the same story when looking at page- scrolling behavior. On the native ad content we analyzed, only 2.
