Rashmi,I think a standard mrietc may not apply to different types of website that we have now. Eearlier it was all about consuming the htmls (pages) and hence the page views. But now the user behaviour is different across different web sites social networks, blogs, video and other media sites. For each of these segements there has to be different qualifier,not just for quantity but quality also. In future we would see these sites reporting it in some other terms and may be trough a set of mrietcs instead on one or two.Still the majority of the web would use Page Views as their main mrietc, bcos they are still about the pages. The mrietc has to do more with user behaviour' and the page behaviour'.In case of slide share click per user would be a top reporting mrietcs and for internal consumption I am sure you would be tracking much more- How many user actually go through slides (time, start to end)- The number of downloads (personal benefit)- Bookmarking, forwards, etc (social benefit)- Comments (content popularity)Santosh
