I was talking to a coworker about this very thing right before I read this post. Weird! I love these responses because they're 1) True and 2) In the language that money people "get." Thanks for the post.

Yes, it is true that social media can lead to increased page views. I've seen it happen.

I try to avoid that argument with bosses, though, because then they start watching the page-view numbers even more carefully and expect to see an immediate increase in page views. These things take time to build. The best thing to do: when you see an increase, trumpet it.

Eventually, this can lead to increased page-views (likely) or some new subscriptions (less likely, but hey). And we know there's money in that.
