Poorly performing articles
I know this request may sound strange.I would like a new report added to the
editorial analytics. This would be reports that pull in the opposite of the “Most
Popular” article. It would show our least popular (based on pageviews)
articles/assets. Currently I am manually tracking this information for our
editors/general manager using Google analytics.
We use the information to be able to judge how our audience will react to a similar story in the future or in the extreme case we know not to write another story about that subject if it doesn’t get may views.
Some of our reporters/editors have already used this information to turn down a few stories because the last article we ran about that subject barely even had 20 pageviews but an article that we thought was a fluff piece (two paragraphs from AP) was viewed thousands of times.
I have read article of larger metropolitan papers that do a similar analytics.
It would also be nice if we had a view stats option directly on the article/assets. Similar to what is on the classifieds to quickly view their analytics.Attached is an example:
