Hello Rashmi,First, congratulation for all your work and your blog.I hope you can bring some fresh air to that Metric holly grail.I unasrtednd that designers, webdevelopers and marketers are pressed to find THE indicator that will help solve all the budget problems.It would make sense for slidesahre to measure clicks as for each slide you will click. Maybe not for youtube. What i would like to see is measures that matters to the business objectives and page views, minutes per visit, etc are not necesarely the one that would indicate how healthy (wealthy?) is a business.I think that we should be able to understand what is really relevant for the business and see where does it fit in the technology stacks.And then measure it.And not starting by a measure and than figuring out how it fot in the business.People come to slideshare to view slides so maybe the number of click on next slide is a key indicator for slideshare.No t all clicks , only the next slide button.The analysis of that single data could be a very good measure to see where the site is heading.What is the expected growth rate of that indicator. Is it growing at the expected speed. This would be like the heartbeat of slide share.If that heartbeat doesn't perform well then you could have a look toblood pressure, tension, and other health indicators.So in websites, Idenfying this heartbeat doesn't necesarely has to be the same for all even many people try to convince us that it must be like this.Thanks
