Clickthrough rates. Bounce rate. Time on site. "Viral coefficient." But when it comes to the marketing metrics that executives care about, the marketing department panics. But it doesn't need to.

In a way, executives are easy to please: they want to see the numbers that impact the bottom line. They want to know that the marketing program they approved is garnering solid returns for the company. They want to know how it's growing sales and how cost-effectively it is doing so.
