Content performance: Using data to avoid the unicorn trap

Content unicorns: Not everyone calls them that, but the concept is familiar. A unicorn is that super-successful piece of content that you wish you could replicate at will. A tweet that made a national splash. An article that performed 50 times better than the average post. It can be tempting to chase these unicorns—trying endlessly to recapture their magic. But, they are often impossible to repeat.

• Why your data is a great place to start coming up with a content strategy.
• How to look at the types of things that CONSISTENTLY perform well for your site, and see what you can glean.
