Return on Investment (ROI)
A calculation of the cost for an ad or marketing campaign, compared to the amount of trackable revenue it provided for the company. ROI is an important metric for many campaigns, because it relates directly to the profitability of an ad or project.
Sometimes revenue can’t be tracked precisely and attributed to an ad or campaign, though many digital ads are now able to provide this granular tracking to aid in business decisions.

404 Error
A 404 error is a website status code indicating that a webpage cannot be found on the server. This is typically because the page has been removed or moved, but the old URL hasn’t been redirected to the new location.
404 errors should be monitored for and removed when found, but it’s often tough to catch all of them on large or older websites. Designing a 404 page that apologizes to the user in an amusing way and provides them with some resources to help them find what they’re looking for can be a great way not to lose credibility on your site.
