Things Have Changed (November 20, 2002) - No one has really figured out how to quantify the changes wrought by the introduction of the Internet to the desktop over the past decade. Most of the institutions that were around in the pre-internet days seem to have survived the massive introduction of new technologies and ideas. With little in the way of institutional assessment tools, however, it can be hard to tell what's what. Is SHRM stronger or weaker as a result of the change? Well, we know that the organization failed to meet the needs of an entire generation of new HR professionals by missing out on the opportunity to lead the way into the Internet era. But, did it damage the organization's overall strength? Alexa (have you installed the toolbar yet?) has added even more interesting functionality to its offering. Traffic details (here are ours) now include estimates of reach per million users and a reach ranking as well as a page views per user count and a total page views ranking. In addition, it is now possible to compare the overall ranking performance of one site against another. (This graph comparing the Lockheed and Northrop-Grumman websites might suggest which company is using the web more effectively!) Although anyone can see that online advertising has decimated the newspaper's classified ad business, this chart shows why Monster is so broadly perceived to be a problem for CareerBuilder. While the question of whether anyone needs a consolidated national site remains open, the two firms compete for the business. Monster's reach, at 4.3% of Internet users is nearly 3 times Careerbuilder's reach of 1.7%. The usual caveats apply to Alexa rankings. They're simply the only easy access measurement device around. We'd recommend that you compare a number of sites and get used to using the comparison tool (it's right under the traffic graph in the traffic details page on Alexa). For the time being, it is the best way to assess overall web performance of a vendor. From here, it looks like SHRM lost ground with the introduction of the net. Their typical audience is only a little more than 50% larger than ours. We're certain that all of their massive membership is online but they'd need to be reaching an audience four or five times its current size. We think that lots of little operations have replaced them. Get focused . . . Go Niche.
