I agree with all of your points, I’ve seen too many “packages” that are
just about creating content and doing the work –which relates to your
point on “tool expertise”– and not enough “we’re in this together”
mentalities. Very good information.

Fair point. Two primary reasons:

1. “Hits” refers to a call for an asset on the server. An asset might be a page, but it might also be an image or an ‘include’ file (CSS, javascript, etc). So, one visit to a page with 100 images on it would deliver 101 hits (one for the page plus 100 images). As such, “hits” is an irrelevant metric.
2. Web traffic doesn’t feed your family. So, even if you use a more valid way to measure than “hits” (unique visitors or even visits), they should be measured alongside whatever your conversion metric is (sales/leads/downloads etc).

Hope that helps.

I think the part about “No, “website hits” don’t count as a metric. Ever.” needs an explanation. You give some good advice it seems but never explain your basis, so reader is left wondering why we should trust you…
