Part of an effective content plan is being able to see what works and what doesn’t, then amending your plans and content in accordance. Granted, this is not the easiest task in today’s B2B marketing world, but it’s vitally important if you are to succeed. Without the ability to measure open rates, click through rates, and download numbers for your content, you won’t have the insights you need to avoid bad tactics and replicate good results in future.

The fact of the matter is that as marketers flood the industry with sub-standard content, the more we all become jaded to the concept. Additionally, the frequency at which content such as blogs are being published is nothing short of saturation. Without relevance and a realistic publishing frequency, content will be almost useless for lead generation before we know it.
