- WordPress had a solid week over the past week from a performance perspective. We managed to improve our total number of clicks to the website (1,379 or +1.9%) and maintained a fairly close engagement rate (1.9%) which is on par with our goals. We produced a good mix of campaigns and saw similar performances to some of our better weeks. We did see some loss again with Twitter as it continues to see a loss of subscribers as more people leave the platform. This lowered our overall gain on the week to 386.
- The overall performance was strong from many campaigns, however, it was strongest with our WP20 campaign and saw that campaign alone picked up all 3 of the top performing places for the week as users continue to get excited about the upcoming 20th anniversary.
- Here is a look at some of the performance numbers for the last week:
- Impressions: 322,578
- Engagements: 6,140
- Link clicks: 1,379
- Engagement Rate: 1.9%
