For any news website, it’s critical to monitor which news story is climbing the ranks. IO dashboard helps you track the performance of each article on your homepage so you can optimize the performance of your news blocks in the most beneficial way.

Managing your news homepage effectively allows you to:

  • Distribute content on your homepage according to reader interest

  • Spot overperformers instantly and react quickly

  • Experiment with articles’ positions to see how it affects reader engagement

  • Define underperforming articles and replace them with the content that stands a higher chance to shine

We consider 3 important metrics when reporting on your articles’ performance:

Page views (CTR)

Average time on page

Recirculation

For small homepages

When one article doesn’t appear repeatedly, use homepage overlay to instantly see the number of clicks for each article.

For big homepages:

  1. Track an article’s performance in different news blocks.

  2. Monitor the performance of each block. Watch how an article affects overall block performance. If the current article in the news block performs less than average for this block — change the picture, re-write the headline or start headline test.

  3. View results in the same dashboard.

Managing your news homepage allows you to define what correlates with reader interest every day and better monetize the most trending articles by placing them on hot spots. It also singles out underperforming content that you may remove or replace right on time. Instant feedback from your readers makes your whole workflow efficient by encouraging acting on data which guarantees greater engagement in the long run.

Automatically display the best performing headline for each article

Leverage the power of statistical analysis to define which version of a headline hits metrics-that-matter (pageviews, engagement, recirculation). Input as many variations of a headline as you want and hit “run headline test.” IO will show all of them to separate audiences and automatically display a winner on your homepage after the test finishes.

Craft engaging headlines followed by high-quality content to:

  • increase CTR and time spent on page

  • reduce bounce rate

Experiment frequently to:

  • manage a news homepage like a pro

  • learn more about your audience and make changes that amplify your reach

  • hit your business goals faster
