Unique Visitor Reach / Advertising Duplication

This module gives a comprehensible and accurate basis upon which to evaluate the use of the Internet in advertising contexts. It lets you identify the best sites on which to place advertising and allows you 3rd party validation of the new unique visitor reach potential on your website, thus enabling informed and empowered online adverting sales.

The Unique Visitor Reach & Advertising Duplication reports show the overlap of unique visitors across different clients.

 

National Currency

The figures generated by our technology are used in six Scandinavian & Eastern European national web analytics published lists, while the IrelandMetrix published list is available at www.irelandmetrix.ie
These lists are used to illustrate and substantiate the significance of the Internet as a media channel, in comparison with other media.
They provide a comprehensible and accurate basis upon which to evaluate the use of the Internet in advertising contexts and to compare site performances.

  • Secure online reports.
  • Ability to email key reports on an ad hoc and scheduled basis not only to SiteMetrix users but also to additional email addresses e.g. weekly email of key performance factors to high level executives within your organisation.

Methodology / Technical Information

SiteMetrix works through placing identical code on all of your web pages. This code works in conjunction with a JavaScript file that is stored in the website root directory. This means that as technology develops and we are capable of gathering additional information, upgrades can be attained simply by replacing the JavaScript file with the latest version.

When a visitor views your website, the SiteMetrix code is executed. This gathers and sends the information in its rawest format to a Bluemetrix server. All processing of the data is carried out on our servers so there is no additional load on the viewer's browser. This also means that since we collect all of the raw data, we have the ability to process this data in any way you require.

SiteMetrix uses a randomly generated cookie to distinguish between new and return visitors to your website. There is however, a non cookie version available if it is your policy not to use cookies on your website.

SiteMetrix has the ability to track all of the following:

  • Flash based websites
  • PDF files requested to be viewed or downloaded
  • Brochures and documents requested for download
  • Audio files requested for download
  • Screen savers requested for download
  • Pictures requested for download
