Web metrics that matter (computerworld.com) -- "Metrics will be different from company to company." Where a retail site might be focused on conversion rate (the number of online shoppers who actually buy something), a business-to-business site might value site reliability and speed above all.
(Mac comments: Should Usability Folk be using these metrics to illustrate the value of what they do? )

Sorry if the link I provided didn't work. I was trying to link to the printable version so you wouldn't have those billboards spoiling your experience.

Interestingly when I use the computerworld site (about once a month) I always type my search string in the damned quicklink box and then wonder why I get no results.

I always see the left hand text box as the search input and the right hand text box as the advanced search input.

I have never used a QuickLink, which is like referring to a person by their National Insurance/Social Security Number. I guess it was supposed to be something like CueCat.
