    Welcome aboard Charles.  Those sound like excellent things to track.  I suspect that someone with a marketing background might be able to make some suggestions on others.   How do you track those things from a web site and are there problems with privacy?

    I was also thinking that you might avoid the drugs and prostitution angle in your acronyms 'memepusher' and 'memeslut' .
