These engagement metrics would be:

  • Attention, the way Nudge measures it, second by second, to see if someone is actually consuming the content. 
  • Average scroll, seeing how the user scrolls through the content. 
  • Engagement rate, the rate at which users click on something extra on the page. 
  • Conversion rate, the rate at which people take a conversion action. 
  • Bounce rate.
