SignalLinks – Tracking the Link Buzz in your Signal

Today we’ve released – in beta, to a limited number of justSignal customers – our newest Signal Analytic, SignalLinks.

SignalLinks gives you detailed information about which links we find in your Signal, how often they are mentioned and which domains are mentioned the most. This information is provided for yesterday and the total for the previous 30 days.

Maybe most importantly we provide a graph of the number of link mentions versus the total number of unique links found.

This simple graph tells you the level of link “BUZZ” generated on any given day. The further apart the two lines get, the more likely it is that a small number of links are being mentioned repeatedly. In this example see 21-Nov:

The divergence of the lines tells you there was buzz around a small number of links being mentioned very often. The greater the separation the more “link buzz” there was.

Looking at the data we find that the link http://my.barackobama.com/tweetyoursenator-bitly/?source=101 was mentioned 1,808 times. The next closest link was mentioned less than 1/4 as much.

Link Reporting:

The report includes the most mentioned links for the previous day:

This information paired with our SignalMeter, SignalDensity and User Activity analytics provide you a comprehensive view of the activity for your Signal.

If you are not on the beta customer list for the SignalLink you should expect to start seeing SignalLinks delivered to your Inbox in the next 2 weeks. If you haven’t signed up for justSignal yet – get yours today.

As always if you have any questions just let us know.
