For those of us who are responsible for analyzing and translating digital consumer data back to our clients then optimizing our campaigns and sites to align with consumer feedback loops - two studies have confirmed what we digital marketers have hypothesized about for years.
The use of page-views and cookies to determine the size of Web audiences may be failing to keep up with changing user habits, according to two new reports.
A study from comScore has concluded that cookies may be over-counting serial Web surfers who regularly reset them. A separate report from Nielsen NetRatings determines that counting time spent on a site, rather than page views accessed, may offer a better metric for evaluating usage in the Web 2.0 era of video and audio features.
