Measuring Social Media Marketing :The ability to measure the effectiveness of marketing activities and calculating ROI is imperative to any company's marketing strategy. Social media marketing isn't as easy to measure as other online vehicles, but it can be done. 

If you've already identified your success metrics, then you're ahead of the game. Assigning monetary values to these metrics will help you in assigning an ROI value.
Depending on your success metrics, you might look at content consumption. Who's reading your content and where are they coming from?
You can also look at how much or little is being contributed and the number of visitors who are interacting with your content. Take a look at a click report to see how many people are adding you to social bookmarking sites like Delicious or StumbleUpon. Because most SMM campaigns are designed to drive traffic to your Web site, you should get a traffic source report from your Web analytics tool. For more information, see my columns on Web analytics.
