Hi Barb,

Weighted according to what we call the “5 Cs” — more information about that on our PostRank site.

Very basic question–

Step #3 = “weighted each engagement type for level of engagement.”

Weighted HOW–what constitutes the deepest/highest-value level of engagement? A click or a tag is less work than a comment, I assume, but I’d be very interested in seeing the rank-order listing of engagement types.

Hi Marji,

Those more passive interactions (clicking, reading, etc.) go in the “Clicking” category of our 5Cs of analysis. We try to do our best to record all interactions, even if they aren’t the more public or visibly interactive.
