Top 10 Most Engaging Posts of 2009
According to PostRank Analytics – a system for analyzing and scoring engagement events, social engagement refers to “the attention other people pay to your published content, like blog posts, news and articles. They see and read a post, and then because it’s interesting, inspiring, or controversial, they get “hooked†and decide to take further action.â€
PostRank’s scoring system measures the “5 C’s†of engagement:
- Creating: i.e. writing a blog post
- Critiquing: i.e. leaving a blog comment
- Chatting: i.e sharing and discussing information on Twitter
- Collecting: i.e. submitting a post to Stumbleupon
- Clicking:i.e. clicking a link to read a blog post
The more engagement an event requires (i.e. writing a blog post), the more engagement points the event receives. Bloggers can use their posts’ engagement scores as a measurement of how well their readers are reacting to and engaging with their content.
PostRank crunched the numbers to determine the most engaged readers in 2009. And the results are in…!
