Unsubscribe Rate

The percentage of recipients who unsubscribe from an email after it is sent. In large-scale marketing, some unsubscribes are expected, but it’s a metric that can be monitored to ensure you aren’t putting off your audience with either the frequency or messaging of your email advertising.

Benchmarks

In digital marketing, a benchmark is a specific metric that you compare results to. A benchmark can relate to impressions, clicks, open rate, sales, or many other metrics. An established threshold is then used to determine success or failure of a particular campaign or piece of content. Benchmarks for an email campaign, for example, might be 20% open rate, 2% click through rate, and 0.5% sales rate on a product that the email is highlighting. 

The success or failure of the campaign would be measured against these numbers. Ideally, you’re developing benchmarks based on past campaign results in order to create personalized benchmarks for your business that allow you to compare across marketing channels.

Guest Blog

Blogs written by a third-party organization or individual for a website on a specific topic. Guest blogs usually come with the expectation that the writer’s organization is linked and/or mentioned within the article or author biography. This provides a passive benefit for the writer to promote their efforts elsewhere, while also providing relevant information for the site’s readers.

Depending on the policies of the publishing site, the blogs may be subject to editorial review.

Email Bounce

Email Bounces are emails that don’t deliver. This can be due to several potential reasons, including deleted email addresses, those that are typed incorrectly, inboxes that aren’t monitored and are full, unable to accept new messages, or those with strict filters that block certain message types.
